EXECUTIVE COUNCIL.
No. 171.
Order made by the Officer Administering the Government in Council under section 9 of the Post Office Ordinance, 1900, Ordinance No. 6 of 1900, on the 10th day of April, 1919.
Section 194 of the Postal Guide for 1918 is hereby repealed and the following sub- stituted therefor :-
"194.-Compensation for the loss or damage in the post of an insured parcel or its contents, will not exceed the amount of the actual loss or damage, and will not be paid for a parcel containing any prohibited article, nor for a parcel which has been delivered without external trace of injury and has been accepted without remark, nor for damage of exceptionally fragile, articles which from their nature cannot reasonably be expected to travel safely by post, such as clay figures, soapstone and alabaster models, collections of butterflies and moths, china, and glassware.
Compensation will not be given as a matter of course when loss arises from tempest, shipwreck, earthquake, war or other causes beyond the control of the Post Office, but the Postmaster General will be prepared to consider on its merits any claim for compensation in respect of the total loss from fire, and shipwreck due to accidents of navigation, provided that such occured whilst the parcel was under the control of the Hongkong Postal Administration.
No claim for compensation will be admitted if made more than a year
after the parcel was posted.
The sender has the first claim to any compensation which may be pay-
able but he may waive his claim in favour of the addressee."
