‘‘Observations,’’ in the case of foreign, and in the case of inland and Australian packages the word ‘‘Loose’’ must be written on the letter-bill under the registered-letter entry.
- Registered lists must be numbered consecutively in all cases where more than one list is used. In the right-hand top corner of the last list the words ‘‘Last list’’ must be written, and it must contain a summary of the total registered correspondence comprised in the mail, thus :—
List 1 .. .. .. .. 30
List 2 .. .. .. .. 30
List 3 (last list) .. .. .. 25
—
Total .. .. .. 85
Each list is to be tied with its bundle, and placed in the bag which contains the letters advised thereon, and the letters are to be arranged in the order in which they are entered on the list. If the letters contained on any one page are too many for enclosure in one bag, each of the bags used must be carefully labelled to show the number of the page on which the letters are entered.
-
Registered letters, &c., sent forward on an intermediate office for despatch thence to destination should be entered on a special list marked ‘‘Transit,’’ but numbered consecutively with others. In transit lists the names of towns as well as countries should be shown, and in lists for the United Kingdom counties should be stated as well as towns. For the Marine Post-office all letters are ‘‘transit,’’ and the word need not be inscribed on the lists.
-
Excepting in the cases mentioned in the two following clauses foreign registered lists should be made out in triplicate by means of carbon-paper. The top copy is to be forwarded with the mail, the second to the Inspector (by first opportunity, pinned to the copies of letter-bills to which they refer, or to the corresponding Statement of Foreign Mails), and the third retained at the office of despatch.
-
Registered-letter lists to the Marine Post-office are to be made out in duplicate only, the top copy to be sent with the mail, the other to be retained by the office of despatch.
-
The Mail-agent will draw up in duplicate all lists of registered articles despatched by him, except those for New Zealand offices, and forward the top copy with the respective mails, the other to the Inspector. Only one copy of the registered lists is required for articles addressed to New Zealand offices by the Mail-agent, and this is to accompany the respective mails.
