Observations V. Miscellaneous § 32 Exemption for Postage 111 continued The Receipt for directions may expense in Clerks

As to the engraved Stamps, they instead of handwriting,
the use of it is to save time. Having letters Letters <add>and Packets being to be to
send sent by the Board from the Board by every post to all parts of the United Kingdom
on the same day, the time of a single person would frequently not
suffice, were if all of them were to be thus franked by the same hand.
For That part of the superscription of each letter or packet which is particular peculiar to
What is particular to each letter or packet, viz: the direction, the whole number of letters for the whole number of letters & packets
may employ different hands at the same time.
and packets for each day might be p distributed among any number of hands
writing at the same time:
while that part which is the cause for all viz: the authorticulative
part and the date, may be performed by a stamp, as fast as common also are instantaneously
printing is performed. by a stamp.

The business of directing the Police Gazette, of which so many thousand copies will would be to be sent in each day of its Publication, is a business that will may of itself be sufficient to occupy a considerable number of hands. In the franking Act 4. G. Post Office abuse Act 4. G. 3. c 24. the supposition is that the operation of franking for the public service may employ in the Admiralty Office, 8 hands in time of peace and 12 in time of war: and in the War Office 6 in time of peace, and 10 in time of war. Under the proposed Board of Police, the number of hands that would require to be thus employd would probably be considerably greater than either under the Admiralty or the War Office unless the powers of were to be thus employ'd, in as far as they were applicable to the reduction of it.

The words On his Majesty's
service, though usual might (it may be thought be
spared. But they would contribute to engage secure care and attention
for the missive letter in the Country offices, they operate as a sort of memento not
to misapply the exemption to the purposes of private
correspondence and nor, where delineated by a stamp,
nor would they add any thing to the consumption of the time.
