Amendment of the Post and Telegraph Regulations, 1913.
(Statutory Rules 1913, No. 348.)
Regulations 114 and 115 are
114. (1) No charge shall be made for the redirection of prepaid postal articles (other than parcels) when redirected by a postal official, or by an agent of the addressee after delivery, if the postage originally paid would have been sufficient if the postal article had originally been addressed to its new destination; provided that in the case of articles redirected by an agent of the addresses the articles be reposted not later than the day (Sunday and public holidays not being counted) after being left at the original address, and do not appear to have been opened or tampered with.
(2) If the postage originally prepaid on the redirected article be not sufficient for its transmission from the place of origin to the new destination, the deficient postage shall be collected on delivery at the new destination.
(3) If articles redirected by agents of addressees be not reposted within the period prescribed in sub-regulation (1) or if it appear that such articles have been opened or tampered with, they shall be chargeable as freshly posted unpaid articles.
115. (1) Registered letters or packets on being redirected, must not be dropped into a letter-box, but must be taken to a post-office to be dealt with as registered. No additional postage or registration fee shall be charged upon them if they are presented for re-registration not later than the day (Sundays and public holidays not being counted) after being left at the original address; but if they are presented after that time they shall be treated as freshly posted, and fresh postage and registration fees shall be payable in respect of them.
C. 16029.—Price 3d.
(2) If any registered letter or packet when redirected, instead of being given back to the post-office to be dealt with as registered, is dropped into a letter-box as an ordinary letter or packet (the word “registered.” not having been erased, or having been erased in pencil only), it becomes liable on delivery to a surcharge of a single rate of postage and single registration fee.
