To guard against such injury all postal packets which are likely to suffer from stamplug or from great pressure should be placed in strong covers; and even with this precaution no fragile article should be sent through the Post. It should be remembered that every packet has to be handled several times; that it is exposed to considerable pressure and friction in the mail bag; and that, whenever the bag has in the course of its transmission to be transferred by means of the railway spparatus, the risk of injury is much increased.

The practice of sealing letters passing to and from the East and West Indies, and (except such as is spesially prepared), is attended with much inconvenience, and frequently with serious injury, not only to the letters so sealed but to the other letters in the mail, from the melting of the wax and adhesion of the letters to each other, The public are therefore recommended, in all such cases, to use either wafers or gum, and to advise their correspondents in the coun tries referred to, to do the same.

The registration of a packet makes its transmizalon much more aecure, inasmuch as, under ordinary dircumstances, a regis tered packet can be traced through its whole course; and thus the loss of a registered packet is a very rare occurrence. Neverthe less large sums of money or other articles of great value should not be sent through the post, even if the packet be registered; as the machinery of the Department is not arranged with a view to such transmissiou, By law, the Post Office is not responsible for the safe delivery of registered packets though any officer who may neglect his duty on this point will be called to strict Bccount.
