Her Majesty's Mails
·
William Lewins
39
At
the
Restoration
this
settlement
of
the
Post-Office
was
confirmed
in
almost
all
its
particulars.
The
statute
12
Car.
II.
c.
35
re-enacts
the
ordinance
of
the
Commonwealth,
and
on
account
of
its
being
the
earliest
recognised
statutory
enactment,
is
commonly
known
as
the
"Post-Office
Charter."
It
remained
in
full
force
until
1710.
The
following
is
the
important
preamble
to
the
statute
in
question:
"Whereas
for
the
maintainance
of
mutual
correspondencies,
and
prevention
of
many
inconveniences
happening
by
private
posts,
several
public
post-offices
have
been
heretofore
erected
for
carrying
and
recarrying
of
letters
by
post
to
and
from
all
parts
and
places
within
England,
Scotland,
and
Ireland,
and
several
posts
beyond
the
seas,
the
well-ordering
whereof
is
a
matter
of
general
concernment,
and
of
great
advantage,
as
well
for
the
preservation
of
trade
and
commerce
as
otherwise."
