42. Colonel BURNasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that a letter posted in the ordinary way on Thursday in London is not delivered in the Channel Islands till the following Monday; and will he have the matter investigated?
§ The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Pike Pease)A letter for Jersey or Guernsey, if posted last Thursday in time for the ordinary London night mail collections on Thursday, should have been delivered on Friday. If posted later in the day, it would not have been delivered till Monday. The London and South-Western Company inform me that on and after the 24th instant there will be a Friday sailing from Southampton, and that on and from the 1st July a weekday service will be resumed from Southampton.
