POST OFFICE NOTIFICATION..
47
It is hereby notified for general information that the following modifications have been made in the regulations for the transmission of Patterns by post from Hongkong the United Kingdom by way of Southampton.
1st. The removal of the prohibition against the transmission of articles of intrinsic value by the Pattern and Sample Post. 2nd. Samples of Seeds, drugs and similar Articles are now allowed to be sent in bags entirely closed, provided such bags be transparent, so that the Officers of the Post Office may satisfy themselves as to the nature of the contents.
3rd. The rule which prohibited the transmission through the post, as patterns, of articles of cuttlery, &c., has been resimded, and scissors, knives, razors, forks, steel pens, nails, keys, watch machinery, metal tubing, pieces of metal or ore, and such like articles, are now allowed to Le forwardded by the post as samples, provided they be packed and guarded in so re a manner as to afford complete protection to the contents of the mail bags, and to the persons of the Officers of the Post Office. Such articles however must be so packed that they may be easily examined, and it is made a rule that any packet containing such articles which may be found to be insufficiently guarded shall not be forwarded through the post.
It will be understood that the foregoing modified regulations extend only to Patterns to be sent in the mails forwarded by way of Southampton to the United Kingdom, at the same time the regulations at present in force as to the transmission of Patterns in the nails forwarded by way of Marseilles to the United Kingdom have been so far altered as to admit of samples of seeds, drugs and similar articles being forwarded in the mails via France packed in transparent bags which may be closed: such bags however must not contain anything in the nature of a letter and the articles themselves so forwarded must not be of intrinsic value.
