being taken from the Postoffice APP

whoever shall hereafter wilfully
or maliciously injure, tear down or
destroy any letter box or other recep-
tacle established by order of the Post

iously injure, deface or destroy any

or assist in any of the aforementioned
offenses, shall for every such offense
be punished by fine of not more

This paragraph became effective
