It will thus be seen that a letter or parcel exceeding the weight of 12 ounces is liable to a postage of 1d. for every ounce or fraction of an ounce, beginning with the first ounce.
No letter or parcel must exceed 18 inches in length, 9 inches in breadth, or 6 inches in depth.
A letter posted unpaid will be charged on delivery with double postage, and a letter posted insufficiently prepaid will be charged double the deficiency.
Concurrently with the reduction of postage on Inland Letters, the Inland Sample Post was abolished.
