Excerpt from Report of the Select Committee on the Post Office: Ordered by the House of Assembly to Be Printed, July, 1863
Parliamentary, without any stamp upon them? - I have occasionally, but I do not think that, during the whole of my parliamentary career, I have received half a dozen letters so marked unstamped. In the commencement of the session I received a letter marked Parliamentary from Calvinia, containing a petition which was forwarded to me by the interested party on the ground that the member for Clanwilliam was absent. On my receiving it, as he had just arrived from England, I handed it over to him. It was marked Parliamentary and unstamped, and not opened. This and the other letter I have referred to were the only two letters I received this session of that nature.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book captures the proceedings of a select committee meeting formed by the legislative assembly in 1863 to consider a complaint regarding letters sent to parliamentary members. Its main focus is to present the evidence taken before the committee, revealing the rules governing which letters addressed to members of parliament could be delivered free of charge. In particular, it investigates whether the previous practice of accepting unstamped letters addressed to members and marked "Parliamentary" should continue during the 1863 session. The author, through the committee, explores the potential implications of allowing such letters to pass through the post without prepayment and provides an insight into the evolution and implementation of postal regulations and protocols within the Cape Colony's parliament. This book offers valuable information for those interested in the development of parliamentary procedure, the history of postal services, and the establishment of legal frameworks governing communication channels within legislative bodies.
