§ DR. C. K. D. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster 1238 General, if mail bags are sent from Macroom and Ballincollig, the last station on the Cork and Macroom Railway; and why the 10.30 a.m. train does not take on mails at all stations between Macroom and Cork, giving correspondents the opportunity of catching the 2.15 p.m. Dublin and English mail from Cork?
§ MR. HANBURYMail bags are sent from Macroom and Ballincollig by the 10.30 a.m. train to Cork, and from Macroom, but not Ballincollig (which has a later evening dispatch by road than it could have by rail) by the 7 p.m. train. The 10.30 a.m. train does not take on mails at all stations, because at the places intermediate between Macroom and Ballincollig the correspondence has not hitherto been found sufficient to warrant the cost involved.
