§ Sir WILLIAM BULLasked the Postmaster-General whether there has been any increase since the issue of stamps under the new contract in the normal figure representing the number of letters refused by their addressees and the amount collected by the postmen for unpaid letters, respectively?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELI regret that no figures are available which would enable me to answer this question, and to obtain them would involve a long and minute investigation of great numbers of daily accounts.
