Post horse and stage rates urged for uniform national law
A London Evening Post letter advocates standard sixpence a mile and one shilling per stage for post hors es to unify fares across counties. It argues uniform rates will curb delays and murders, boost travel safety, and spur land development through new inns and houses along routes, benefiting government and landowners. The writer also comments on a Winchester whipping case and praises public support for the paper.
