§ MR. WILLIAM ABRAHAM (Cork Co., N. E.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether his attention has been called to the inconvenience caused to the inhabitants of Rathcormac, which has a population of 700, by not having a second daily delivery of letters on week days, as under present arrangements letters reaching Fermoy, the head office for the district, at 11.30 a.m. are not delivered in Rathcormac until the following day, although that town is only three miles distant; and if he will cause a full inquiry to be made into the matter with the view of granting to the people of Rathcormac a second postal delivery, which is already enjoyed by the inhabitants of Clan worth and Kilworth, these villages being also distant about three miles or more from Fermoy.
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN,) Worcestershire, E.No application appears to have been received in London from the inhabitants of Rathcormac for the establishment of a 947 second delivery of letters in the day at that place; but the Postmaster General will cause inquiry to be made on the question of affording this accommodation, and the result will be communicated to the hon. Member.
