The transcribed copies of messages telephoned by subscribers to telephone exchanges, or by private-line owners, will, so far as the Department is concerned, become the original telegrams, and the Department will not assume or be subject to any liability by reason or on account of any failure, delay, or mistake in or about the transmission, receipt, or delivery of any telegram under this system, from whatever cause the same may arise. Messages will only be received upon the understanding that the Department’s counting and charging are accepted without question.
10. On payment of 3d. in addition to the charge at the prescribed rates for the transmission of any telegram, the sender of a telegram may insert in the place reserved therein for instructions the direction “To be telephoned,” and thereupon such telegram upon arrival at the telegraph office of destination shall be forthwith telephoned through the telephone exchange to the addressee, if such addressee is a subscriber to that exchange; and in other respects the provisions made for the transmission of telegrams to addressees through telephone exchanges at their own request shall, as far as applicable, apply to such telegram.
