By
Act
of
Parliament,
the
Post-Office
is
not
responsible
for
the
absolute
security
of
registered
letters,
though
every
care
and
attention
are
given
to
them.
Each
registered
letter
may
be
traced
from
hand
to
hand,
from
posting
to
delivery,
with
unfailing
accuracy,
and
there
can
be
no
question
as
to
the
great
security
which
is
thus
afforded.
Any
officer
who
may
neglect
his
duty
with
registered
letters
is
called
to
strict
account,
and,
if
the
Postmaster-General
should
see
fit,
will
be
required
to
make
good
any
loss
that
may
be
sustained.
In
cases
where
registered
letters
have
been
lost
(in
the
proportion,
it
is
said,
of
about
one
in
ninety
thousand),
or
some
abstraction
of
their
contents,
the
Department
makes
good
the
loss,
if
the
fault
is
shown
to
rest
with
the
Post-Office,
and
if
the
sum
lost
be
of
moderate
amount
and
the
sufferer
a
person
not
in
affluent
circumstances.
