NOTICE.
GENERAL POST OFFICE, MARCH 26, 1838.
AS it does not appear to be generally known that
the mere affixing a Newspaper Stamp on any New pe-
riodical Publication will not entitle it, as a matter of course, to pass
free by the Post, it is recommended to those who may be about to
publish; for the first time, any such Paper, to submit a Copy of it,
la the first instance, to the Postmaster-General, in order that it
racy be determined whether it is of that nature as will entitle it to
pass free of Postage.
Clause of the Act of Ist Victoria, rap. 34. sec. 32.
" And be it further enacted, that in all cases in which a question
shall arise, whether a Printed Paper is entitled to the privileges of
a Newspaper or other Publication hereby privileged, so far as re-
speets the transmission thereof by the
,Post under the Post-Office
Asti, the question shell be referred to the determination of the
Postmaster-General, whose decision, with the concurrence of the
Lords of the Treasury, shall be final."
By Command,
W. L. MABERLY, Secretary.
