Her Majesty's Mails
·
William Lewins

In
1635
they
issued
a
proclamation,
in
which
they
state
that
there
had
not
been
hitherto
any
constant
communication
between
the
kingdoms
of
England
and
Scotland,
and
therefore
command
"Thomas
Witherings,
Esquire,
His
Majesty's
Postmaster
for
forraigne
parts,
to
settle
a
running
post
or
two,
to
run
night
and
day
between
Edinburgh
in
Scotland
and
the
City
of
London,
to
go
thither
and
back
again
in
6
days."
Directions
were
also
given
for
the
management
of
the
correspondence
between
the
principal
towns
on
the
line
of
road.
Bye
posts
shall
be
connected
with
the
main
line
of
posts,
by
means
of
which
letters
from
such
places
as
Lincoln,
Hull,
Chester,
Bristol,
or
Exeter,
shall
fall
into
it,
and
letters
addressed
to
these
and
other
places
shall
be
sent.
Other
bye
posts
are
promised
to
different
parts
of
the
country.
All
postmasters
on
the
main
line
of
posts,
as
well
as
those
of
the
bye
posts,
were
commanded
to
have
"always
ready
in
their
stables
one
or
two
horses."
The
charges
settled
by
James
I.
were
ordered
to
be
the
charges
under
the
new
system,
"2½d.
for
a
single
horse,
and
5d.
for
two
horses
per
mile."
In
a
subsequent
proclamation
two
years
afterwards,
a
monopoly
of
letter-carrying
was
established,
which
has
been
preserved
ever
since,
in
all
the
regulations
of
the
Post-Office.
No
other
messengers
or
foot
posts
shall
carry
any
letters,
but
those
who
shall
be
employed
by
the
King's
"Chief
Postmaster."
