Regulation 381 is repealed, and the following Regulation is inserted in its stead:—

Telegrams may be produced for perusal by persons other than the senders or addressees, on the authority of the Postmaster-General, the Secretary, or a Deputy Postmaster-General, in any case where the production of such telegrams is required in the interests of justice, and a subpoena or a written request for their production has been issued or made by a Court presided over by a Judge, or by the President or Chairman of a Royal Commission, or by a Chief Commissioner of Police. The Postmaster-General may, however, refuse to produce telegrams in cases where he has reason to suspect any abuse.
