Art. 15

What renders dispatch — habitual dispatch — so particularly material
in the present instance is — not the loss on the score of interest
by tardiness of payment but the danger of loss by non payment:
for the more frequently the hands of a receiver are
emptied of money in the course of a given period, the less
will be the quantity of money remaining in his hands on
an average on each day of that period and consequently
the less the amount of the loss capable of being made to fall
upon Government by the insolvency criminal or accidental
on the part of these its agents — .

Should the class system of Local Post Offices be prove
eventually inadequate in point of numbers . to the
quantity of the business, the elap local Stamp-offices,
with or without the local Excise Offices,
might be called in in and of the class employed
in the first instance: and possibly in the great of
money transactions — the metropolis, it might
be found worth while to institute a certain number
of Offices who that should have no other business. But
at all events it is a matter of no small moment
that the class offices pitches upon in the first instances
should be taken from the of class of Post-Offices: because the
degree of dispatch given in the class first employ'd
would naturally be the standard of the degree required
from any such supplemental set of hands.
In the local Post-Offices this — in of the London Penny
Post offers more particularly the degree of dispatch
falls little if any thing short of absolute perfection:
in the local Stamp Offices, the want of punctuality
has been the matter subject of official complaint. + + Su Yet
