“June 13th, 1849.—The Postmaster-General has approved a proposal of mine to carry the night-mail between Oxford and the main line of the Great Western Railway by cart instead of by the branch railway. As the journey both ways is in the middle of the night nothing whatever is gained to Oxford by the [present] arrangement.”—Sir R. Hill’s Journal.—Ed.
