THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 143

POSTAL.
Patterns of Merchandize may be sent by Post at the
Book Postage Rate.
General Post Office,
Wellington, 25th April, 1865.

IT is hereby notified for public information, that on
and after the first day of May next, a system of
Pattern Post will be established between places within
the Colony of New Zealand, and also between the
Colony and the United Kingdom, and the Colonies
of Victoria and New South Wales, whereby patterns
of merchandize of no intrinsic value may be sent by
post under the same regulations and at the same
rates of postage as those of the Book Post.
(1.) No packet of patterns must exceed 24 ounces.
(2.) The patterns must not be of intrinsic value.
This rule excludes all articles of a saleable
nature, and, indeed, whatever may have a
value of its own apart from its mere use as a
pattern; and the quantity of any material
sent ostensibly as a pattern must not be so
great that it can be fairly considered as having,
on this ground, an intrinsic value.

(3.) There must be no writing or printing other
than the address of the person for whom the
packet is intended, the address of the sender,
a trade mark and numbers, and the prices of
the articles.
(4.) The patterns must be sent in covers open at
the ends, so as to be easy of examination.
(5.) In all other respects the regulations of the
Book Post will apply to the Pattern Post.
(6.) Any packets not in accordance with the above
regulations will be treated as letters.
J. L. C. RICHARDSON,
Postmaster-General.
