§ MR. BOTTOMLEYI beg to ask the Postmaster-General who are the authorities responsible for carrying out the law in his Department, and by whose permission certain lottery circulars are permitted to go through the post when relating to religious objects.
§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTONThe Postmaster-General, in any legal matter, would act on the advice of the legal officers of the Department, or, if necessary, on the advice of the Law Officers of the Crown in the respective parts of the United Kingdom. As regards the particular circulars in question it has not been thought advisable to take action.
