On the whole there was little change, but the later rates were probably more easily borne as they were lower for short distances.[604] The next year the rates and distances for Ireland were changed again, the result being an increase both for short and for long distances. The results are shown in the following table in Irish miles and Irish currency and for a single letter:[605]-- Not exceeding 7 miles 2_d._ Over 7 and not exceeding 15 miles 3 15 25 4 25 35 5 35 45 6 45 55 7 55 65 8 65 95 9 95 125 10 125 150 11 150 200 12 200 250 13 250 300 14 For every 100 miles over 300 miles 1 [604] 53 Geo.

So at least a correspondent to the _Times_ says (London _Times_, 1813, June 21, p. 3).
