HC Deb 23 March 1899 vol 69 c142
MR. DAVITT

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster-General, will he explain why telegrams which were delivered free at Drymills (Irishtown) from Ballindine, county Mayo, some time ago, are now subject to an extra charge of 1s.; and if he can see his way to recommend the abolition of this charge?

MR. HANBURY

Telegrams for Drymills are delivered free, but telegrams for Irishtown are properly charged 1s. for porterage, as it is over three miles from Ballindine.
