In computing the charges, Sunday is considered a dies non, unless it be the day
on which the articles are deposited or taken out, in which case it must be reckoned.
Commercial travellers' samples arriving by train, or sent to railway-station for
despatch by train, may be left in the cloak-room overnight, and stored free of
charge up to eighteen hours, after which time full rates will be charged.
In all cases where a Luggage-room Ticket is given for more than one package, and
the holder of the ticket applies for and takes some, but not all, of the packages
away, a fresh ticket will be issued for the packages left, and the usual booking fee
for the fresh ticket will be charged.
The Department reserves the right to refuse any package which may be deemed
offensive or objectionable by the Department.
Any luggage not claimed within a month will be sold.
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.
