More than 2800 Post Office Savings Banks are open daily for the receipt and payment of money, during the hours appointed for money order business. 2. Interest at the rate of 2 10s per cent, is given on the money deposited in them. 3. Depositors in them have direct Government security for the prompt payment of their money. 4. A Depositor in any one of the Post Office Banks can continue his deposits at any other of such Banks, without notice or change of book, and can withdraw his money at that Post Office Bank which is most convenient to him. 5. The strictest secrecy is observed with regard to the names of Depositors in Post Office Banks, and the amounts of their deposits 6. If a depositor in any legally established Savings Bank wishes to place his money in a Post Office Savings Bank, he should apply to the Trustee of the old Savings Bank for a Certificate of Transfer (in the form prescribed by the loth section of the Act 24 Victoriae, cap. 14), and should pay the Certificate into any Post Office Bank as if it were a cheque. By adopting this course, the Depositor will avoid trouble and risk of carrying cash from one Bank to the other. 7. Married women may deposit money in the Post Office Savings Bank, and money so deposited will be repaid to the Depositor, unless her husband gives notice, in writing, of marriage, and claims payment of the deposits. 8. Money may be deposited by, or on behalf of, Minors. Depositors over seven years of age are treated as persons of full age, but Minors under seven years of age cannot withdraw their deposits until after they have reached the age of seven. 9. Friendly Societies, duly certified by the Registrar of Friendly Societies, may deposit their funds, without limitation of amount, in the Post Office Savings Bank, but a copy of their Rules must previously be sent to the Postmaster-General. 10. Charitable Societies and Penny Banks may also deposit their funds, but a copy of their Eules must be sent to the Postmaster- General. Especi^ aid is given to Penny Banks established in connection with the Post Office Banks. 1 ]. Applications to the Chief Office on the business of Post Office Savings Banks, and the replies sent thereto, are free from charge for postage 12.

The rate of postage on all inland letters is regulated by wei?:lit, irrespective of distance, and (with the exceptions afterwards mentioned) is as follows: IF PAID IN ADVANCE, Letters not weighing more than j oz., - - - id more than I oz., but not exceeding 1 oz., 2d more than 1 oz., 1^ oz., 3d more than IJ oz,, 2 oz., 4d and so on, Id being charged for every additional half- ounce. As a general rule, the postage, if not paid in advance is double the foregoing ; and if the payment in advance be insufficient, double the deficiency is charged. An inland letter, for example, weighing more than half-an-ounce. and not exceeding one ounce, if bearing a penny stamp only, is. delivery, charged twopence. The unpaid additional postage on re-directed letters, however, is not doubled, being the same as if such postage were prepaid. Unless three quarters, at least, of the postage of a letter weighing more than 4 oz. be prepaid, the letter is not forwarded, but a notice of its detention is forwarded to the sender, or failing him, to the person to whom it is addressed. addresses to the queen and petitions to parliament. Petitions and Addresses to her Majesty, forwarded direct, are exempt from postage; and such petitions and addresses, as also petitions to either House of Parliament, if sent to a Member of either House, are likewise exempt, provided they do not weigh more than two pounds, and are w^ithout covers, or are in covers open at the- sides. No letter or other enclosure, however, must be inserted, and if one be found, such enclosure, unless it bear the proper number of postage stamps, will be charged as an unpaid letter. NEWSPAPER AND OTHER PERIODICAL PUBLICATIONS BEARING THE newspaper STAMP. Although provision is made for forwarding newspapers, books, and money through the post, it is not compulsory on any one to employ this mode of tramsmission; everything except letters may be sent in any other way. The publication must be folded in such a manner that the whole of the stamp or stamps denoting the full duty shall be exposed to view, and be distinctly visible on the outside; except that where there are more than two publications in the same cover, it will be considered sufficient if the stamps be so arranged that they can readily be examined. It must be posted within fifteen days from the printed date of issue. It must have either no cover or a cover open at the ends. It must not contain any enclosure. B

20 DIRECTORY. It must have no writing or other mark thereon, but the name and address of the person to whom it is sent ; nor anything on the cover but such name and address, the printed title of the publication, and the printed name and address of the publisher or vendor who sends it. Thus, if a newspaper, franked by a newspaper stamp, after having had the address of one person written upon the paper itself, be sent to another person, the lirst address must be cut oft" (obliteration not being sufficient), otherwise the paper will be charged as an unpaid letter. If the publication be addressed to any person within the free delivery of the place where it is posted, it will become liable to a postage of one penny, which must be prepaid by affixing a postage stamp. When a newspaper, &c., is so folded as not to expose the stamp or stamps, a postage of one penny is charged in addition to any other postage to which the publication, if properly folded, would be liable; and if the newspaper, &c., be addressed to any person within the free delivery of the place where it is posted, and do not bear a penny postage label, it is charged 2d. In case of any other irregularity, the publication is dealt with as an unpaid book. Unstamped publications, and stamped publications' which have been issued more than fifteen days, can be forwarded within the United Kingdom and to the Colonies under the regulations of the book post. Newspapers sent abroad are liable to the same regulations as newspapers passing (under the new^spaper privilege) between different parts of the United Kingdom, except as regards size, and that, before going abroad the name of the newspaper must have been registered at the General Post Office, and that, instead of requiring to have an impressed stamp (by which is meant the stamp specially used for newspapers), each newspaper, if sent to a British Colony, is liable to a postage of id (which must be prepaid by a postage label or in money), together with an additional postage when the newspaper has to pass through a foreign country. In all cases of newspapers going abroad the impressed stamp stands for nothing. Publications registered for transmission abroad, although not strictly newspapers, are in all respects treated as such, so far as their transmission by the British office is concerned. INLAND BOOK POST. The following are the regulations for the Inland Book Post : 1st. Eates of Postage: Weighing not more than 4 oz., - - - - Id more than 4 oz., and not exceeding 8 oz., - 2d more than 8 oz., 12 oz,, - 3d more than 12 oz.,, 16 oz., - 4d and so on; Id for every additional 4 oz. 2d. The postage must be prepaid in full by means of postage stamps affixed outside the packet or its cover 3do Every packet must be sent either without a cover, or in a cover

AYR. 21 open at the ends or sides, so as to adniit of the enclosure being removed for examination. For the greater security of its contents, the packets may be tied at the ends with string; but in such case the postmaster is authorised to cut the string, although he is required to fasten the packet. 4th. A book packet may contain any number of separate books or other publications (including printed letters and printed matter of every kind) prints, or maps, and any quantity of paper, parchment, or vellum. And ihe books or other publications, prints, maps, &c., may be either printed, written, or plain, or any mixture of the three. Further, all legitimate binding, mounting, or covering of a book, &c., or of a portion thereof, will be allowed, whether such binding, &c., be loose or attached; as also rollers, in the case of prints or maps; markers (whether of paper or otherwise), in the case of books; and, in short, whatever is necessary for the safe transmission of literary or artistic matter, or usually appertains thereto ; but no patterns, or books of patterns, (unless these consist merely oi paper) can be allowed. 5th. No book packet may contain any written letter, closed or open, or any enclosure sealed or otherwise closed against inspection ; nor must there be any letter, nor any communication of the nature of a letter, written in any such packet, or in or upon its cover. Entries, however, merely stating who sends the book, &c., or to whom it is given, are not regarded as a letter. Indeed, as respects the name and address of the sender, not only is the writing permitted but recommended ; so that if the cover come off, or for any other reason the packet cannot be forwarded, it may be returned. 6th. No book packet must exceed two feet in length, width, or depth. 7th. Any packet which shall not be open at the ends or sides, or shall have any written letter or any communication of the nature of a letter written in it, or upon its cover, will be charged with the " unpaid" letter postage. 8th. If a packet be found to contain any written letter, whether closed or open, or any enclosute sealed or otherwise closed against inspection, or any other unauthorised enclosure, the letter or enclosure "will be taken out and forwarded to the address on the packet, charged with the full postage as an unpaid letter, together with an additional rate (Id); and the remainder of the packet, if duly prepaid with stamps, will then be forwarded to its address. 9th. If a packet be not sufficiently prepaid with stamps, but nevertheless bear a stamp of the value of one rate (Id), it is forwarded, charged with the deficient book postage, together with an additional rate ; but any packet which bears no postage stamp is charged with double the prepaid postage. loth. In every case in which the postage chargeable under these regulations is greater than the letter rate, the latter postage is substituted. At the following charges, and on the same conditions as the fore--

22 DIRECTORY. going (except that no packet weighing more than three pounds can be sent to the East ladies or to New South Wales), book-packets can be forwarded to every British Colony: To India, Ceylon, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania (Van Diemen's Land), South Australia, Western Australia, New Zealand, Mauritius, and Hong Kong, the charge is as follows: To India, &c., not more than 4 oz., - - - 4d 4 oz, but not exceeding 8 oz., - 8d 8 oz., 12 oz., - Is Od 12 oz.,,. 16 oz,, - Is 4d and so on; 4d for every additional 4 oz. To other Colonies:,. Not more than 4 oz., 3d 4 oz., but not exceeding 8 oz., - - 6d 8 oz., 12 oz, - - 9d 12 oz.,,, 16 oz., - - Is Od and so on; 4d being charged for every additional quarter of a pound or fraction of a pound. The Head Postmaster who first receives a book-packet is required, whenever he has ground for suspecting an infringement of any of the above conditions, and occasionally, even when there is no ground for suspicion, to open and examine the packet ; and every book-packet which is not open at the ends or sides, or which exceeds two feet in length, width, or depth, or which has any written letter or any communication of the nature of a letter written in it or upon its cover, or which does not bear postage stamps equal to a single book-rate, is ordered to be sent up, with as little delay as possible, to the Returned Letter Branch of the Circulation Office in London, Dublin, or Edinburgh, as the case may be; but in the case of any other infringement o->f the regulations, the packet is dealt with by the Postmaster himself, in accordance with the above regulations. INLAND PATTERN POST. The following are the rules of the Inland Pattern Post; 1st. Rates of Postage s. d. For a packet of patterns weighing not more than 4 oz, - 2 more than 4 oz., but not more than 8 oz. - 4 8oz.,,, 12 oz. - 6 12 oz., 16 oz. - 8 16 oz., 20 oz. - 10,, 20 oz,, 24 oz. - 10 2d. The postage must be prepaid by means of postage stamps. Sd. No packet of patterns must exceed 24 oz. in weight. Any packet exceeding that weight will be charged as a letter. 4th. There must be no writing or printing other than the address of the person for whom the packet is intended, the address of the sender,

ATK. 23 a trade mark and numbers, and the prices of the articles, otherwise the packet will be treated as a letter. 5th. The patterns must be sent in covers open at the ends, so as to be easy of examination. Samples, however, of seeds, drugs, and so forth, which cannot be sent in open covers, may be enclosed in bags of linen, or other material tied at the neck; bags so closed that they cannot be readily opened, even although they be transparent, must not be used for this purpose. Non-compliance with this rule will also subject the packet to be treated as a letter. 6th. If a packet of patterns or samples be posted altogether unpaid, it is charged with double the postage which should have been prepaid. If a portion of the postage be prepaid, even although only a penny stamp be affixed, the packet is charged with the amount of the deficiency, together with an additional rate of twopence. 7th. In all other respects the regulations of the Inland Book Post will apply to the Inland Pattern Post. EEGISTRATION. By the prepayment of a fee of fourpence, any letter, newspaper, book, or other packet on which the postage has 'oeen prepaid in stamps, may be registered to any place within the United Kingdom. Book packets and newspapers can also be registered to the colonies. To foreign countries letters only can be registered. The registration of a packet makes its transmission more secure by rendering it practicable to trace it, when inland, from its receipt to its delivery; and when colonial, if not to its delivery, at least to the port of despatch. The Post Office does not guarantee the safe delivery of* the letter, &c., though the ofiicers are of course responsible to the Postmaster-General, who will call to strict account any one neglecting his duty on this point, and if his Lordship think proper, will require him to make good any loss that may be sustained thereby. The postage and registration fee of registered letters must be prepaid ; and if the letter be inland, such payment must be by stamps. Every letter to be registered should be presented at the counter, and a receipt obtaiued for it, and must on no account be dropped into the letter-box. If, contrary to this rule, a letter marked " Registered" be dropped into the letter-box, it will, if directed to any place i?i the United Kingdom, be liable to a registration fee of eightpence, instead of the ordinary fee of fourpence. Or if a letter, having been dropped into the letter-box, be found to contain coin, it will be registered and.charged the double fee of eightpeuee.
