§ MR. J.P. FARRELL, (Cavan, W.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether, in view of the new time table, it is possible to arrange for a night mail train to leave Belturbet and Cavan for Clones, instead of sending the night mails as at present by car, which necessitates their departure front Cavan at 6 p.m., and Belturbet 6.45 p.m.; and whether, in the representations at present being made to the Great Northern Railway Company, the consideration of this matter could be included; and, if so, will the further question of an extension of the times for posting letters in Cavan, Arva, Killeshandra, Belturbet, Ballyconnell, and Bawnboy be also considered.
§ MR. HANBURYAlthough a new time table is being framed, the desired improvement in the night mail dispatch from Belturbet and Cavan could only be arranged by the establishment of additional trains which are not required for 1179 ordinary traffic, and the cost of establishing such trains would be altogether prohibitive. In the circumstances the Postmaster General does not think it expedient to include this matter in the representations at present being made to the Great Northern Railway Company.
