Registration (Overseas)

If it is proved to his satisfaction that a letter or packet duly admitted to Registration has been entirely lost whilst in his

custody the Postmaster undertakes to pay an indemnity of 50 francs, except in cases beyond control, e.g., tempest,

shipwreck, earthquake and war). No compensation, however is payable except in the case of the loss of the entire letter

or packet; and no claim will be admitted if made more than a year after the letter or packet was posted.

The Postal Administrations of all countries and colonies included in the Postal Union give the same undertaking in

respect of registered letters or packets lost whilst in their custody.

If it is desired to obtain compensation in the case of abstraction of content & of a letter or to provide for a higher

maximum than 50 francs, recourse must be had to the Insurance System. See "Insurance" below.

Insurance-Overseas (For Letters only)

Letters tendered for insurance will be accepted by the Post Office on payment of the fee and subject to the conditions

stated below:-

Fee-5d. for every £12 of value in addition to the postage and registration fee.

papers or sample packets will not be accepted.

Letters containing coin, anything made of gold or silver, precious stones, jewellery or any article liable to customs duty

in the country of destination cannot be sent by insured letter-post. Objects of value which cannot be sent in insured

letters may generally be sent in insured parcels.

The insurance system is specially applicable to letters which contain bank notes, coupons, securities, bonds and other

documents of the kind.

such station and forwarded from thence to its postal address by first post.

(b) If a letter -marked "On Post Office Telegraph Business " be sent by post to the telegraph clerk at any station,

the message enclosed will be promptly forwarded by telegraph from such station. In this case the letter by post must be

registered and the cost of the message enclosed in Stamps or coin. Telegrams may also be handed to a mail courier on

his way to a telegraph office, but the department does not take any liability for miscarriage.

(c) No charge will be made in either case for postage or registration.

addressee's name, and the name of the terminal Telegraph Office, at the end of the address.
