The following are accepted for conveyance as Newspapers:—

intervals of not more than 31 days;
(b) Any British publication registered as a newspaper at the G.P.O., London

Newspapers not conforming to the definition at (a) and (b) above arc transmit­

SUPPLEMENTS
Any supplement issued with a newspaper must consist wholly or mainly of
matter like that of the newspaper, or of advertisements, printed on paper, or
wholly or partly of pictorial matter illustrative of articles in the newspaper; it
must in every case be published with the newspaper, and have the whole or part
of the title of the newspaper printed at the top of every page, or at the top of
every sheet or side on which any such pictorial matter appears. All sheets of the
supplement must be put together in some one part of the newspaper, whether
gummed or stitched up with the newspaper or not. The supplement or supple­
ments issued with any number of a registered newspaper may not exceed the
newspaper itself in size or weight.

The Post Office cannot regard a document as a supplement merely because it
is printed under that title. A separate document intended to be used for separate
purposes is not a supplement to a newspaper. For example, documents of the
following descriptions if enclosed in copies of registered newspapers render them
inadmissible at the newspaper rate of postage:
1. Any document not printed by the responsible printer of the paper, such as
an advertisement sheet printed for an advertiser and sent to the publisher of a
newspaper for distribution with it;
2. A contents bill, an advertisement sheet with an order form attached, a
prospectus with an application form attached, or a proposal or inquiry form; or
