Mr. ERSKINEasked the Postmaster-General, whether he is aware that a firm in Old Bond Street recently sent out 5,000 circulars properly stamped, and through a mistake in the post office, which has been admitted by them, many of these circulars were surcharged, thereby causing considerable annoyance to the recipients, who vented their displeasure on the firm in question, who have lost much business as a consequence; and whether there is any redress for the said firm?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSThe case referred to has not been brought to my notice; but I will cause inquiry to be made if the hon. Member will furnish me with the name and address of the firm, and particulars of the date of posting and of the post office concerned.
