§ Mr. CHARLES PRICEasked the Postmaster-General whether the Hope Street branch post office, Edinburgh, has participated in the curtailment of duty after 8 p.m., such as has taken place at the other branch offices in Edinburgh, and, if not, whether there are special circumstances for exceptional treatment at this office?
§ Mr. BUXTONThere has been no curtailment of the hours of attendance at any of the branch offices at Edinburgh. Some of the town sub-offices, which are on a different footing, now close at 8 instead of 9 p.m., and I am inquiring whether public inconvenience would be caused by a similar charge at the branch offices.
