POST-OFFICE.

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS.
Appendix, No. 6.

EVIDENCE OF HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF RICHMOND,
THURSDAY, NOV. 6, 1834.
Before the Commissioners endeavour to avail themselves
of your Grace's experience as to any general suggestions of
improvements, will you have the goodness to state your
opinion with respect to the registration of letters ?—I
dis-
approve very much of the proposed registration, it having
failed entirely in Ireland ; and indeed the French Post-
office have stated that they were well aware that it was no
real security, but that they thought in a certain degree it
was a moral check. I object to a nominal check ; indeed
the French post-office regulations with respect to registry
would not, in my opinion, be expedient in this country.
Their post-office is. liable to the extent of .50 francs, or 21.,
as letters containing coin are excluded from registry ; 21.,
which is not the half of the lowest note in circulation in
this country, could only be recovered. The system of re-
gistry would be worse than useless ; it holds out encourage-
ment to depredation, by pointing out which are the valuable
letters. This is not the case with money letters here, which
are only those containing coin ; they are registered by a
particular clerk, and put into a cover and sent to the post-
master, and we get a receipt ; but I do not see how it
would be possible to give a receipt to. every person who
might wish .to register a letter as proposed. The French
give a receipt for every letter the writer wishes to register,
and for which they charge a double rate of postage ; I
think this is wrong in principle, that it is wrong to make
the poor man pay more, and to give him what in fact is no
security at all. The rich merchant might afford to pay a
double postage,•but it is a great object to the poor man, for
he cannot afford in these days to have the charges of busi-
ness increased: • •^ •

Your -Grace is aware it is perfectly optional ?
Yes, but if you put a postage heavy enough to make it in-
convenient to many persons, it is an act of injustice to those
who ought to have the same security without paying ; if
you put so light a postage as. to induce every one to re-
gister, it would then be impracticable ;
10,000 letters to be registered in Lond: how would it be
for supposing
possible to give receipts, showing thedirection and address of
the party, the complete addr-
all ? Therefore it apr-- or else it is of no use at
in the inland or _cal to me that you would not be able
tw do
ign departments to it at all with-
