Her Majesty's Mails

William Lewins
130
Dickenson,
spoke
strongly
on
the
inadequacy
"of
the
present
system
of
administration
to
reach
the
different
parts
of
the
country,"
and
urging
the
expediency
"of
providing
against
any
more
conflict
of
opinion,
and
of
securing
a
more
extended
co-operation,
as
well
as
unity
of
design,
in
the
management
of
the
distinct
Offices
of
England,
Scotland,
and
Ireland."
Again,
in
1831,
on
the
recommendation
of
the
Commission,
the
Postmaster-General
ordered
that
the
boundaries
of
the
London
district
post--which,
in
1801,
became
a
"Twopenny
Post,"
and
letters
for
which
post,
if
delivered
beyond
the
boundaries
of
the
cities
of
London
and
Westminster
and
the
borough
of
Southwark,
were
charged
threepence--should
now
be
extended
to
include
all
places
within
three
miles
of
the
General
Post-Office.
Two
years
afterwards,
on
the
recommendation
of
another
Commission,
the
limits
of
the
"Twopenny
Post"
were
again
extended
to
places
not
exceeding
twelve
miles
from
St.
Martin's-le-Grand,
and
this
arrangement
continued
till
the
time
of
uniform
penny
postage.
The
Duke
of
Richmond
likewise
appointed
a
daily
post
to
France,
established
a
number
of
new
mail-coaches,
and
abolished,
in
great
part,
the
system
of
paying
the
clerks,
&c.
of
the
Post-Office
by
fees,
substituting
fixed
salaries
in
each
case.[73]
