Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Select Committee on the Post Office: Ordered by the House of Assembly to Be Printed, July, 1863
Parliamentary, without any stamp upon them? - I have occasionally, but I do not think that, during the whole of my parliamentary career, I have received half a dozen letters so marked unstamped. In the commencement of the session I received a letter marked Parliamentary from Calvinia, containing a petition which was forwarded to me by the interested party on the ground that the member for Clanwilliam was absent. On my receiving it, as he had just arrived from England, I handed it over to him. It was marked Parliamentary and unstamped, and not opened. This and the other letter I have referred to were the only two letters I received this session of that nature.
