Her Majesty's Mails
·
William Lewins
42
Mr.
Bishop
was
only
left
undisturbed
for
two
short
years.
As
it
was
evident
that
the
revenue
of
the
office
was
increasing,
the
House
of
Commons
took
advantage,
at
the
close
of
his
second
year
of
office,
to
desire
his
Majesty
that
"no
further
grant
or
contract
of
the
Post-Office
be
again
entered
into
till
a
committee
inspect
the
same
and
see
what
improvements
may
be
made
on
the
Revenue,
as
well
as
in
the
better
management
of
the
department."
They
pray
that
the
office
may
be
given
to
the
highest
bidder.
His
Majesty
replies
that
he
has
not
been
satisfied
with
the
hands
in
which
it
has
been.
Notwithstanding
that
a
measure
was
carried
requiring
the
officers
of
the
Post-Office
in
London
and
the
country
to
take
the
oaths
of
allegiance
and
supremacy,
and
notwithstanding
that
these
oaths
were
properly
subscribed,
his
Majesty
is
not
at
all
satisfied,
"for
the
extraordinary
number
of
nonconformists
and
disaffected
persons
in
that
office,"
and
is
desirous
of
a
change.
The
term
being
expired,
his
Majesty
"will
have
a
care
to
see
it
raised
to
that
profit
it
may
fairly
be,
remembering
always
that
it
being
an
office
of
much
trust
as
well
as
a
farm,
it
will
not
be
fit
to
give
it
to
him
that
bids
most,
because
a
dishonest
or
disaffected
person
is
likeliest
to
exceed
that
way."
