REGISTRATION.

By the prepayment of a fee of four-pence any letter, book, or other packet may be registered to any place in the United Kingdom, or the British Colonies. 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 8d. on delivery.

At the Town receiving houses the latest time for registering letters for the Night Mails is 5 p.m.

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.

BOOK AND NEWSPAPER
POSTAGE.

A Book-Packet may contain not only books, paper, or other substance in ordinary use for writing or printing, whether plain or written or printed upon (to the exclusion of any written letter or communication of the nature of a letter), Photographs, when not on glass or in frames containing glass or any like substance, and anything usually appertaining to such articles in the way of binding and mounting, or necessary for their safe transmission by post, but also Circulars, i.e., letters which are intending for transmission in identical terms to several persons, and the whole or greater part of which is printed, engraved, or lithographed.

The following are the rates of postage:—

On a registered newspaper ... ... ½d.

Careful attention to the following remarks will supply 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 person under the age of twenty-one years can make a will.

No married woman can, without her husband's express consent (to be given at the time of making the will, and ratified after her death) make a will, except such as might have been made by her before the passing of the Wills Act in 1837, that is, a will disposing of property belonging to her for her separate use, or over which she has a testamentary power of appointment.

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 signature must be in the presence of two witnesses, at least, who must sign their names and addresses against the attestation clause before 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 husband of a person, who takes anything under the will, should not be a witness. Though the will would not be affected thereby, the gift to such person, or the wife or husband 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. By Letter Post, 7d.

## PROVING WILLS.

There is now at each district registry of the Court of Probate, and also at the principal registry at Doctors' Commons, a department for granting probate of wills and administrations on personal application. This will be found a great boon in the distribution of small estates.
