Letters containing any article of value should not be posted in a pillar box, but should be registered at the General Post Office.
Persons posting in these boxes may cancel their stamps by writing the date across them. The time of clearing these boxes may sometimes be later than is stated, and, as the postman has to finish his delivery before taking any letters he finds in the boxes to the Post Office, it is in most cases about an hour or more after the box is cleared before such letters reach the Post Office.
