§ MR. DAVITTI beg to ask the secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, will he explain why it is that letters were sent from Holly-mount, South Mayo, to Curracrow up to the beginning of last April, and have since ceased to be delivered in the ordinary way; and, whether, as the district around Curracrow is a populous one, he will take into consideration the claims of the inhabitants to have their letters delivered direct as heretofore.
§ Mr. HANBURYWith the view of extending the house-to-house delivery in the Hollymount district the question of revising the postal arrangements in the neighbourhood of Curracrow has recently been under enquiry, and, owing to a misunderstanding on the part of the local officials, the foot post from Hollymount to Curracrow was temporarily discontinued. The service was, however, resumed on the 8th instant.
