59. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the Postmaster-General whether the proprietor of the Swan Hotel, Wotton-under-Edge, or one Faller, the unnaturalised German manager thereof, has a contract for carrying His Majesty's mails; and, if so, whether he will explain why the mails should be so carried?

The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Illingworth)

Faller is not a mail contractor, and I am informed that he has nothing to do with the mans.

Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that at all events the man drives the mails?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

I am informed that his duties at the hotel are as caterer and waiter.
