INLAND POST

The Post Office does not undertake to redirect when the letters or other postal packets can be redirected at the place of address. It does not, for example, redirect postal packets addressed to a person who has tempor- arily left his house, unless the house is uninhabited; or addressed to clubs, hotels, boarding houses, lodgings, business firms etc.; or addressed to any premises occupied by two or more persons where letters are delivered by postmen into a common letter box, or to a common agent.
Correspondence may not be redirected from a private address in the Colony to the Poste Restante.
The Post Office will only undertake to redirect correspondence addressed to the Poste Restante (or care of the G.P.O.) or to an address at which delivery cannot be effected and in either case, only when such correspondence is covered by a redirection request.
In no circumstances will interception of correspon- dence be undertaken.
Correspondence returned to the senders, that they may rectify or complete the address is not, when reposted, treated as redirected but is liable to fresh postage.
Non-Delivery
Undelivered local letters and postcards, bearing the full name and address of the sender printed or written on the outside, are returned direct to the senders. Other undelivered local letters are sent to the Returned Letter Office where they are opened and returned, if possible, to the senders; if they contain neither the sender's name nor address, or any enclosure of importance, they are destroyed. Letters found to contain articles of value are recorded and if returned are registered.
Printed papers, which cannot be delivered and which bear the name and address of the sender with a request for their return in case of non-delivery, are returned direct to the sender. Those bearing no name and request for return, and if of no value, are destroyed,
