Many
orders
are
never
claimed
at
all.
In
Ireland
twice
as
many
orders
are
allowed
to
"lapse"
as
in
England
or
Scotland,
though
there
are
many
more
orders
granted
in
the
two
latter
countries
than
in
Ireland.
Perhaps
the
fact
may
be
accounted
for
by
the
wretched
addresses
of
most
Irish
letters,
which
make
it
impossible
to
deliver
many
of
them
and
equally
impossible
to
return
them
to
the
writers.
Of
ordinary
money-orders,
one
in
837
are
unclaimed
within
two
months;
whilst
as
a
curious
fact,
instancing
the
pertinacity
of
a
careless
habit,
it
may
be
stated
that
when
these
very
orders
have
been
renewed
on
payment
of
a
second
commission,
one
in
every
thirty-nine
are
again
overlooked,
and
allowed
to
lapse,
many
of
them,
in
fact,
becoming
entirely
cancelled,
and
the
money
forfeited.
