and there are no instructions to redirect it, the office of origin must be advised by coded service telegram (CQ or DF) stating, when known, where the addressee is to be found, in order that the sender may be informed.
Should the sender have left the town at which the telegram was lodged, notice of non-delivery should be posted to his new address, if known. The envelope must invariably be indorsed or stamped with the code and date thus: “CQ, 10/7/03,” or “DF, 10/7/03.”
The ST must always quote the exact address received and the cause of non-delivery.
96. When the code notice DF is received at the office of origin respecting any paid telegram, and it may be necessary to amend or amplify the original address, the alteration or addition must be conveyed in a paid correcting telegram at a fee of 6d., coded UCT. No ST free of charge is to be sent in reply to the notice DF unless the Department is at fault. If, however, the non-delivery is not due to an error in signaling, the sender must be at once informed. If the sender resides outside the free delivery he must be advised by post. The ST should always be superscribed “Sender advised.”
Alterations or corrections of the addresses of telegrams can only be made by or at the request of the sender, except in the cases mentioned above.
97. Despatch clerks must return to senior counter clerks any undelivered notices dealing with undelivered telegrams, indorsed with the reason for non-delivery; and senior counter clerks will file such notices for six months before destroying them.
98. Undelivered telegrams are to be regarded as disposed of at the office of address, so soon as the sending station has been advised of non-delivery. Should an addressee subsequently apply for information regarding his undelivered message, Rules T. 237–239 must be observed, as the case may require. The fact of the sender having been advised of non-delivery is invariably to be brought under the addressee’s notice at the same time.
99. Inland telegrams which cannot be delivered, except (a) money-order telegrams (see Rule T. 184), or (b) any messages definitely addressed to a post-office (see Rule T. 92), or (c) to a telegraph-office, must, after having been retained seven days exclusive of the accounting period in which they were received, be forwarded to the Clearing-room, General Post Office, en-
