§ Sir W. DAVISONasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that the Post Office declines to re-direct letters when requested to do so by a taxpayer who has left a particular address and gone to reside elsewhere so long as there is anyone actually resident at the previous address, though gu eh person may in no sense be the agent of the person who has removed, and may even have assumed an attitude of hostility or unfriendliness to him; and whether he will see that the Post Office Regulations are modified to provide for the re-direction of letters, if requested to do so by the person changing from one address to another?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHRe-direction of letters by Post Office servants occupies so much time that it is not, as a general rule, undertaken where letters can be redirected after delivery at the place of address. Exceptional cases are considered on their merits.
