The British Postmaster at Shanghai during the latter end of the
year 1906 despatched certain mails to the British Post Office at Tientsin. These mails were placed direct on board British ships advertised to sail for Tientsin (allowed under Rule b). The mails arrived in due course at Tangku where they were taken delivery of by the Chinese Post Office's representative and sent on by rail to Tientsin. The District Postmaster at Tientsin threatened to refuse to handle these and similar mails on the ground that the British mails bags had not passed through the Chinese Post Office at Shanghai and were not listed on the Chinese Way Bills. He even went so far as to warn the British Postal Agent at Tientsin that
in future such mails would be liable to be left on the steamers" The attitude adopted by the District Postmaster at Tientsin exidently had the support of the Postal Secretary.

Strictly speaking land transit charges only (Tengku to Tientsin
rail) should have been claimed.
8. This action on the part of the Chinese Administration is all the more surprising considering the expense and trouble the Hongkong Administration is constantly being put to in landing and shipping thousands of bags of Chinese mails yearly for which the Chinese Administration pay Hongkong absolutely nothing.
9. I would also invite attention to the fact that according to Article 1, 2 of the Postal Arrangement between Hongkong and China "the exchange of mails between the two Administrations will take place through the British Postal Agencies in China and the
Chinese Post Office established in the same localities as those British Agencies etc." This portion of the arrangement the Hongkong Administration very generously allowed to remain a dead letter at the request of certain Chinese Post Offices and consent was given for Chinese Mails to be sent direct to Hongkong instead of via
