Sir.-—There seems some misapprehension as to the object or usefulness of the private boxes at our local Post Office. The officials seem to be under the impression that the boxes are for their convenience and not for the convenience of those who subscribe £1 per annum. I draw this conclusion from the fact that the door leading to the private boxes is locked when it suits the officers, and not when it suits the public. Might I suggest that 9 p.m. is quite early enough to deprive those who are entitled to the privilidge of their late mails. Knowing the courtesy of our staff I feel sure this mild suggestion will be as efficacious as the application of five ounces of nitro-glycerine to the average Government official, and can therefore hazard my thanks in anticipation.—l am, etc.,
Box 1000,
