(2.) It shall be printed and published in New Zealand, and shall be published in numbers at intervals of not more than thirty days.

(3.) The full title and date of publication shall be printed at the top of the first page, and the whole or part of the title and the date of publication at the top of every subsequent page.

2. A supplement to a newspaper shall be deemed to be part of such newspaper for the purposes of the regulations, and shall consist wholly or in great part of matter like that of a newspaper, or of advertisements, printed on a sheet or sheets or on a piece or pieces of paper, or consisting wholly or in part of engravings, prints, or lithographs illustrative of articles in the newspaper. The supplement shall in every case be published with the newspaper, and shall have the title and date of publication of the newspaper printed at the top of every page, or, if it consist of engravings, prints, or lithographs, at the top of every sheet or side.

3. A newspaper shall not contain any enclosures other than the supplement or supplements proper to the newspaper, nor any writing or other mark beyond the name and address of the person to whom it is sent, nor anything on the cover but the name and address, the printed title of the newspaper, and the printed name and address of the publisher or vendor who sends it. If any inset, advertising sheet, or handbill is placed inside or between the pages of a newspaper, but has no connection therewith as a part of such newspaper within the meaning of these regulations, the newspaper containing such inset, advertising sheet, or handbill shall be charged book rates of postage.

4. If a newspaper addressed to any place within the colony be found to contain writing or any enclosure other than an inset, advertising sheet, or handbill, it shall be forwarded to its destination charged, according to its weight, with the full rate of letter postage from the country where it originated; but, if such newspaper be addressed to any place beyond the colony, it shall be detained and advertised the same as a book packet; and, if postage be not paid, it shall in due course be sent to the Dead Letter Office. This regulation shall apply to any newspaper, whether registered in the colony or received from places beyond.

5. If more than one newspaper be enclosed in a packet addressed to any place within the colony, and for which the full amount of postage has not been paid, a charge of one penny shall be made for each extra newspaper enclosed. Packets or single numbers of newspapers posted for places beyond the colony not fully prepaid, or for places within the colony wholly unpaid, shall be detained and advertised.

6. Newspapers, if posted in single numbers, addressed to the Manager, Keeper, Clerk, Secretary, Librarian, or other person having the charge of any Athenæum, Mechanics’ Institute, Hospital, Public Library, Young Men’s Christian Association Free Reading-rooms, Catholic Reading-rooms, Wellington, Port Chalmers Sailors’ Rest, Chambers of Commerce, Auckland and Dunedin, or to any Lunatic Asylum in the colony, are permitted to pass through the post, and to be delivered free of postage. If directed to the care of the officer or to a name at the institution they shall be treated as an ordinary newspaper.

7. “Newspaper exchanges” (i.e., newspapers exchanged between newspaper offices) are permitted to pass through the post free of postage, if posted in single numbers, from any newspaper office within the colony and addressed to the Editor, Proprietor, Publisher, or Manager of any newspaper published in the colony, and properly franked. The title of the newspaper, and the words “Newspaper Exchange only,” shall be written or printed on each cover above the address; and the frank or certificate of exchange shall be signed by the authorized person, either by affixing his signature, or a fac-simile thereof by means of an autograph stamp. Newspaper exchanges not posted in accordance with the foregoing rules will be charged full letter rates.

8. Not more than one copy of any issue of a newspaper intended for free transmission under Rules 6 and 7 will be forwarded free of charge. If more than one be posted not prepaid with postage, Rule 5 will be applied.

9. Newspapers published outside the colony may be sent through the post as if they had been registered in New Zealand. Newspapers, whether originating in the colony or beyond the colony, re-directed from one post office to another within the colony, may be transmitted accordingly, but are chargeable with a fresh newspaper rate of one halfpenny each, which may be paid either on re-direction or on delivery.

10. Every newspaper shall be posted either without a cover or in a cover entirely open at both ends, so as to admit of easy removal for examination. A newspaper shall not be fastened in its cover by means of gum, sealing-wax, postage-stamp, or otherwise. If this rule be infringed the newspaper shall be treated as a letter.
