London Philatelist Jan 1892: Jamaica Postal Notices By E. H. Bacon. The HE number of the Timbre-Poste for November last,
contains a review of the Philatelic Society's recently published work on the
stamps of the British West Indies. The Editor of that Journal is recognised
all over the world, and justly so, as one of the greatest authorities upon
all things appertaining to the science of Philately, and our Society may well
be proud of the highly eulogistic terms in which he speaks of our latest
catalogue. The review is specially interesting, as the writer gives
translations in extenso of four important Jamaica postal notices, which are
not found in my "Preliminary Notes" at the head of the Colony. As I
stated at page 89 of the catalogue, the only file of the Jamaica Official
Gazette I could find in this country, commences with the number for June 3rd
1869, consequently I was unable to furnish any notices of an earlier date
than this, from that source. Three of the notices translated by Mons. Moens
were published previous to the year 1869, while the fourth, which is dated
1st April, 1879, for some reason or other did not appear in the Official
Gazette, although it was published in, at any rate, one, if not more, of the
local newspapers. Mons. Moens, in reply to a request I made him, has kindly
sent me the original copies of the notices he received from Jamaica, which I
now reproduce here for the benefit of those collectors who may not have seen
the number of the Timbre-Poste. I have drawn attention to. |

Extract |
7. In connection with the falling off in the revenue from "Postages" I would also add that on the 1st May last the "scale of progression" on Inland Letters exceeding one ounce in weight was altered and made to be by the single rate of half an ounce rather than by the double rate of one ounce. This alteration was made under the terms of the "Post Office Law Amendment Law of 1886," which also altered the surcharges on wholly unpaid and insufficiently prepaid correspondence, to the extent of making any Inland Letter, Newspaper or Book-packet liable, if wholly unpaid, to double the ordinary rate of postage, and, if partially prepaid, to double the amount of the deficient postage. |
