I have caused the errors. which have occurred for the last three months and for which repetitions have been asked by our customers, to be carefully noted, with the following result: There have been 501 repetitions, involving the transmission of 11,664 words, representing a money value of £3,840, or at the rate of £16,760 per ADMIN, Of these repetitions 188 were of a most trivial character, and could kava been corrected by a reference to our pub lished guide, and might be altogether avoided in future by the omission of words in commercial codes which are known to bo identical in their telegraphio symbols with other words, ::.
But out of the whole 561 repetitions for the three months, all excepting 82 (26 of which were unnecessary, being absolutely accurate) were demanded from lines beyond our Bombay terminus, and had to be traced through India, or to Singapore, China, Java, Australia, Japan, &c., at an amount of labour, actual cost and occupation of the cable to the detention of traffic, beyond anything the commercial public dream of. So serious is the evil becoming, that a remedy must be sought, and some limit imposed on the too free demand for correo- tions.
