THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TM APRIL, 1876.
POST OFFICE NOTICE.
The Italian Post Office has complained that, in the mail for the Continent via Brindisi which left Hongkong on the 20th January, was a sample of Indigo, which became loose and damaged the
whole mail.
In spite of all possible vigilance, and the returning to the senders of many unsuitable articles posted as samples, it still occurs that such packages occasionally escape detection.
The public are therefore again earnestly begged not to attempt to send dye-stuffs in powder through the Post, unless so packed in cloth, leather, or parchment as to prevent any possibility of accident.
Should the practice continue, the names of the senders will be published.
ALFRED LISTer,
General Post Office, Hongkong, 24th April, 1876.
