An account of the inconsistencies between the King's warrant for franking letters and the late resolutions of the House of Commons read, as follows:—“The Postmasters by the King's warrant are ordered not to suffer any letters whatsoever other than such as concern the Members themselves to pass under their frank covers or direction, to the diminution and prejudice of the revenue. The Commons, by their resolution, say that the opening or looking: into, by any means whatsoever, any letter directed to or signed by the proper hand of any Member without any express warrant in writing from the Secretary of State is a high infringement of the privileges of the House. So that in this case there seems to be an inconsistency between the warrant and the resolution, for how can the Post Office not suffer any letters whatsoever to pass other than such as concern the Members themselves, without opening or looking into the covers of their letters so directed, unless there be ways of discovering such letters other than by opening or looking into the same. The King's warrant, except in this particular, stands unimpeached, and as the said warrant is not once mentioned or taken notice of in the resolutions of the House it may not be thought advisable to make any alteration therein. It may be necessary, however, to notify to the Postmasters the consideration which your Lordships have had touching this affair, and to order them to take care that the resolutions of the House be duly complied with.” Ordered that a copy of the resolutions of the House of Commons be transmitted to the Postmasters, with directions to them to take care that same be duly complied with.
