Bisections of the 1d were approved from 20 November 1861 for the ½d book post and newspaper rate.
Authority was withdrawn on 30 November 1872 after the ½d adhesive was issued.
Usage was for newspaper wrappers which tended to be discarded and also for official purposes, the latter were destroyed about
thirty years later by burning in the railway furnaces at Kingston, the bisected 1d on cover is now a scarce item.
