28.
When
any
one
has
reason
to
believe
that
he
has
paid
extra
postage
on
a
letter
or
packet
improperly,
or
has
been
charged
more
than
the
case
would
warrant,
he
should
apply
to
his
postmaster,
who
will
bring
the
case
before
the
notice
of
the
Secretary,
when,
if
any
mistake
has
been
made,
the
money
will
be
refunded
by
order.
Postmasters
cannot
return
postage
paid
improperly
until
instructed
to
do
so
from
the
chief
offices.
29.
When
an
unpaid
letter
is
presented
to
a
person
who
has
not
the
means
at
disposal
of
paying
the
demand
upon
it
(some
foreign
or
colonial
letter
may
be
taxed
heavily),
it
will
be
kept
at
the
post-office
a
month,
if
a
request
be
made
to
that
effect,
in
order
that
efforts
may
be
made
to
obtain
the
necessary
money
to
release
it.

Postmasters
and
their
clerks
are
forbidden
to
be
parties
to
the
deceptions
which
used
to
be
practised,
and
which
are
now
sometimes
attempted,
as
to
the
place
of
posting
of
a
letter.
If
any
communication
should
be
forwarded,
under
cover,
to
the
postmaster
of
a
provincial
town,
with
a
request
that
it
may
be
posted
at
his
office,
it
will
be
sent
to
the
Returned-Letter
Branch
in
London,
and
from
thence
to
the
writer.
31.
Advertisements
are
occasionally
seen,
and
applications
frequently
made,
for
defaced
postage-stamps.
It
is
stated,
in
some
cases,
that
a
given
number
will
gain
certain
individuals
admission
to
different
charitable
institutions.
Whatever
may
be
the
purpose
for
which
the
old
stamps
are
required,
the
Post-Office
authorities
have
found,
by
inquiry,
that
the
ostensible
reason
here
given
has
uniformly
been
false.
It
is
sometimes
feared
that
attempts
are
made
to
clean
and
re-issue
them,
though
this
can
be
attended
with
but
partial
success.
It
is
much
more
probable
that
they
are
sought
to
indulge
some
whim,
such
as
papering
boxes
or
even
rooms.
