§ Sir EDWARD COATESasked the Postmaster-General why the Ceylon mails, which were overcarried, through an error in the way-bill, past Naples in the s.s. "Osterley," and were not landed at Toulon through the further erroneous instructions on the way-bill, which indicated that they were intended for the all-sea route, when they arrived at Tilbury on the 24th May were even then not delivered until the 28th May?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThe delay was due to labour difficulties at the docks.
