## POST OFFICE REGULATIONS.

### RATES OF POSTAGE OF INLAND LETTERS.

The rate of postage on Inland letters is regulated by weight, irrespective of distance; and is, if prepaid, 1d. for every half ounce or fraction of half an ounce.

If not paid in advance, the postage is double the foregoing.

*Note*.—By the recent Act it is rendered unlawful to affix to a letter, newspaper, supplement, publication, packet, or card sent by post, or to the cover thereof, by way of prepayment of postage thereon, an embossed or impressed stamp cut out or otherwise separated from the cover or other paper on which such stamp was embossed or impressed, *although such stamp has not been before sent by post or used*. If so used, the postage will not be considered paid and will have to be paid double.

### COUNTRY MAILS.

These Mails leave the Post Office at 8 p.m., and letters must be put in at the Receiving Houses

and pillar letter boxes before half-past 5 p.m.

At the Branch Offices before 6, or in pillar boxes with an additional stamp before 6.

Or at Branch Offices with an additional stamp before a quarter to 7.

For 2d. extra before ¼ past 7.

Letters are received at St. Martin's-le-Grand only until half-ast 7, by four extra stamps.

Letters may be posted at the District Offices for places served by the Railway whose Terminus is in the District, up to 7 45 by an additional fee of 2d.

### PILLAR LETTER BOXES.

Letters for the early morning mails to the provinces or the first Town delivery, may be posted in pillar boxes and district offices up to 4 o'clock a.m.; if posted at any of the receiving houses, must be posted before 9 the previous evening.

Book Packets must not be posted in Pillar Letter Boxes.

From 9 p.m. until 7.30 a.m., and on Sundays, letters can only be posted, in London, in the pillar boxes.

### LONDON DISTRICT OFFICES — POSTAL DISTRICTS.

London and its environs are divided into Eight Postal Districts, each of which is treated, in many respects, as a separate Post Town. The following are the names of the Districts, with their abbreviations, viz:—

<table><tr><td>Northern</td><td>N.</td></tr><tr><td>North Western</td><td>N.W.</td></tr><tr><td>South Eastern</td><td>S.E.</td></tr><tr><td>South Western</td><td>S.W.</td></tr><tr><td>Eastern</td><td>E.</td></tr><tr><td>Eastern Central</td><td>E.C.</td></tr><tr><td>Western</td><td>W.</td></tr><tr><td>Western-Central</td><td>W.C.</td></tr></table>

POST OFFICE REGULATIONS, Continued.

LONDON DISTRICT POST

DELIVERIES.

Within the Town limits there are 12 deliveries daily; the first or general despatch is made from St. Martin's-le-Grand at about 7 30 a.m., and the delivery is generally completed throughout London by 9 o'clock. The last despatch is made at 7 45 p.m.; and all letters for this delivery should bear the district initials to insure delivery the same evening.

SUBURBAN DELIVERIES.

There are seven deliveries within the Suburban Districts daily. The first is from London at 7 a.m. to all places within the London District limits; the remaining despatches to the Suburban Districts are made at 9 15 a.m., 11 45 a.m., 2 45 p.m., 4 45 p.m., and at 6 and 7 p.m. The deliveries commence from one to two hours after the time of despatch.

Letters for the last despatch at 7, if posted before 6 p.m. in receiving houses or pillar letter boxes are delivered the same evening within 6 miles.

The applicant must furnish, in
full, the surname and at the least
the initial of one Christian name,

address.

REGISTRATION.

By the prepayment of a fee of four-pence, any letter, book, or other packet, inlaid or colonial, or for any place in Italy, on which the postage has been prepaid in stamps, may be registered. This will make its transmission more secure by rendering it practicable to trace it, when inland, from its receipt to its delivery. The Post Office does not guarantee the safe delivery of the letter.

Every letter to be registered should not be dropped into the letter-box, but be presented at the window and a receipt obtained for it.

Letters enclosing coin must be registered—if unregistered they will be liable to a double registration fee of eight-pence on delivery.

For the Night Mails, the latest time for registering inland and foreign letters at the Chief Office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, and at the Head District and Branch Offices in London, on payment of the ordinary fee of 4d., is 5.30 p.m.; or on payment of a late fee of 4d. in addition to the registration fee, the latest time is 6 p.m. At the Town Receiving Houses the latest time for registering letters for the Night Mails is 5 p.m.

BOOK POSTAGE.

On a registered newspaper,
not exceeding with any sup-
plement, and with any cover
6 ozs. in weight - - - - ½d.

On a book packet or pattern
or sample packet—
If not exceeding 2 ozs in
weight - - - - - ½d.

If exceeding 2 ozs. in weight
for every additional 2 oz.
or fractional part of 2 oz. ½d.

On a post card - - - - ⅔d.

Every packet must be sent without a cover, or in a cover open at the ends or sides.

22

## COLONIAL & FOREIGN BOOK POST

Except that the rates of postage are higher, books can be sent to all British colonies, and some foreign countries on the same conditions as those of the Inland Book Post.

## PURCHASE OF STAMPS.

To discourage the transmission of coins by post, the officers of the District Offices, and the Letter Receivers, are authorised to purchase postage stamps of the public, if not soiled or otherwise damaged at a charge of 2½ per cent. The stamps must be presented in strips containing at least two stamps adhering to each other. Single stamps will not be received.

## POST OFFICE TELEGRAPHS:

**TARIFF.**—The charge for the transmission of Messages by Telegraph throughout the United Kingdom is 1s. for the first twenty words, and 3d. for each additional five words or part of five words. The names and addresses of the sender and receiver are not charged for.

Telegrams may be redirected from town to town at an extra charge of one half the ordinary tariff, fractions of 3d. being reckoned as 2d.

## REGISTRATION OF FOREIGN LETTERS.

By payment of a fee in addition to the ordinary postage, both of which must be prepaid, letters may be registered for the colonies and abroad generally. In some cases the letter can be registered only to the port of arrival; it being left in those cases to the postal authorities of the colony or foreign country to continue the registration if they think proper.

## POST OFFICE SAVINGS BANK.

The Post Office Savings Banks are open at certain of the Money Order Offices, between the usual business hours for money orders. Sums may be deposited from one shilling upwards, and the total sum deposited in any year may not exceed £30, or £150 in all.

A book is provided for entering all deposits, and the same is acknowledged from the Head Office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, within ten days from the day of deposit; and any depositor wishing to withdraw any sum may do so by application to the Postmaster General, upon which a warrant for the same will be sent by post, payable at any Money Order Office the Depositor may name.

Interest is allowed yearly at the rate of £2 10s. per cent. per annum on every completed £1 deposited.

## GOVERNMENT INSURANCE AND ANNUITIES.

The Postmaster General is empowered to insure the lives of persons of either sex, between the ages of 16 and 60, for not less than £20 or more than £100. He is also empowered to grant immediate or deferred annuities of not more than £50 on the lives of persons of either sex and of the age of 10 years and upwards. The persons whose lives are insured, or to whom annuities are granted by the Postmaster General, have direct Government security for the payment of the money at the proper time.

Certain Post Offices (the names of which may be obtained at any Post Office), have been opened for the receipt of proposals for the insurance of lives and the purchase of annuities, and forms of proposal, with full instructions for filling up and delivering these forms, may be obtained at these Post Offices.

## HOW TO MAKE A WILL.

State as simply and concisely as
possible, and without any attempt
at legal phraseology, the manner
in which you desire to dispose of
your property. Careful attention
to the following remarks will sup-
ply so much of the Law as is
necessary for an ordinary will.
Particular attention must be paid
to the legal formalities required in
the execution of the will. Codicils
should never be attempted by non-
professional persons; it is, in fact,
generally easier to re-write the will
than to make a codicil.

All property may be disposed of
by will; and no married woman,
except under marriage settlement,
or person under the age of twenty-
one years can make a will.

Every will should be signed at
the foot or end thereof, (that is
immediately under the last line of
it, and without leaving any space
between the last line and the name),
by the person making it, or by
some other person, in his presence
and by his direction; such sig-
nature must be in the presence of
two witnesses, at least, who must
sign their names and addresses
against the attestation clause be-
fore leaving the Testator's presence,
and against every alteration and
interlineation made before the will
is executed, the Testator and the
Witnesses must sign their names;
nothing should be scratched out
or erased, or the will might be held
incapable of proof.

A person, or the wife or the hus-
band of a person, who takes any-
thing under the will, should not be
a witness. Though the will would
not be affected thereby, the gift to
such person, or to the wife or hus-
band of such person, is altogether
void. An Executor is a good
Witness, though it is better that
he should not be one. Any legacy
to him would thereby be made
void, and a legacy to a friend is

made void or "lapses" by his
death before the testator's. A
legacy to a testator's child does
not lapse by his death, but goes to
the child's issue, should he have
left any.

*A concise and Legal Form of
a Will may be had of the Publisher
of this Diary. Price 6d.*

## PROVING WILLS.

There is now at each district
registry of the Court of Probate,
and also at the principal registry
at Doctors' Commons, a depart-
ment for granting probate of wills
and administrations on personal
application, without the interven-
tion of any "professional man."
This will be found a great boon in
the distribution of small estates.

PARTRIDGE & COOPER'S

NEW VELLUM WOVE

CLUB-HOUSE PAPER,

Manufactured expressly to meet an universally experienced want, i.e., a Paper which shall in itself combine a perfectly smooth surface with total freedom from grease.

## THE NEW VELLUM WOVE CLUB-HOUSE PAPER

Will be found to possess these peculiarities completely, being made from the best linen rags only, possessing great tenacity and durability, and presenting a surface equally well adapted for quill or steel pen.

Surpasses all others for smoothness of surface, delicacy of colour, firmness of texture, entire absence of any colouring matter or injurious chemicals tending to impair its durability, or in any way affecting its writing properties.

The unprecedented success realized by the Proprietors of this *incomparable* Paper has raised up a host of *worthless* imitations, which are offered to the unwary under similar names. Purchasers therefore are *cautioned*, and particularly requested to observe that each sheet bears the fac-simile water-mark, "PARTRIDGE & COOPER'S VELLUM WOVE CLUB-HOUSE PAPER," without which none other is genuine.

\*\* This Title and Trade-mark having been duly registered, proceedings will be taken against any persons infringing our patent rights.

EMBOSSING.

PLAIN STAMPING.

No charge is made by PARTRIDGE & COOPER for PLAIN STAMPING the MEDIUM or BEST QUALITIES of NOTE PAPERS or ENVELOPES from PRIVATE DIES; but a charge of 1s. per ream is made for embossing the INFERIOR QUALITIES OF PAPER; also for the lower quality of Envelopes 1s. per 1000 extra is charged. Example—Note Papers over 6s. per Ream, and Envelopes over 9s. 6d. per 1000 are embossed free of charge. P. & C. are compelled to adopt this rule, consequent upon the very small profit attached to their low priced goods.
