A POSTAL PROBLEM

(June, 1891)

The Rule, for Commissions chargeable on overdue Postal Orders, is given in the "Post Office Guide" in these words, (it is here divided, for convenience of reference, into 3 clauses)—

(a) After the expiration of 3 months from the last day of the month of issue, a Postal Order will be payable only on payment of a Commission, equal to the amount of the original poundage

(b) with the addition (if more than 3 months have elapsed since the said expiration) of the amount of the original poundage for every further period of 3 months which has so elapsed
