away, a fresh ticket will be issued for the packages left, and the usual booking fee
for the fresh ticket will be charged.
Left Parcels.
Left parcels labels, of the value of 2d. each, may be obtained upon application at
the principal stations, which, when attached to parcels not exceeding 28lb. weight
sent to the station, and delivered to the person in charge of the Cloak-room, will
entitle the bearer of the duplicate to receive the parcel at the Cloak-room on appli-
cation. A further charge of 1d. per day will be made after the day on which it is
left. Any parcel not claimed within a month will be sold.
