9. Articles Requiring Special Treatment. —Letters and
other articles intended to be registered or insured : or for which
certificates of posting are required ; or which otherwise call for any
special treatment at the post office must be presented at the counter
early enough to ensure prompt despatch. Articles posted on or just
before the cessation of business frequently cause congestion, with a
result that they cannot be distributed in time to catch the particular
despatch they are intended to go by.
10. Late Fee Letters. —At certain post offices letters for
• despatch may, on payment of a special late-fee, be posted after the
ordinary hours for collection. In the case of official articles the late
fee should be paid by service stamps.
