The Post Office is not, by law, responsible for any loss or inconvenience which may arise from the non-delivery, mle-sending, or mis-delivery of any letter, book, or other postal packet (even if the packet be re- gistered) nor is the Post Office responsible for any injury which a packet may sustain during its transmission.
To guard against such injury all postal packets which are likely to suffer from stamping 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 mall bag; and that whenever the bag has in the course of its transmission to be transferred by means of the rallway apparatus, the risk of injury is much increased.
