asked the Postmaster-General whether he-has yet concluded his inquiries as to the housing of the postman at Lower Hardres; and whether it is now proposed to allow the postman to live in Canterbury and to pay him on the scale proper to that city?

A revised arrangement under which Canterbury will be the starting point will be brought into operation on the 26th instant, and from that date the postman will receive the scale of pay proper to that city.
