 1859: 1 s. blue, perf. 12 and 1860/63 1 d. bright green on thin glazed (Bordeaux) paper,
perf. 12, a used horizontal pair on registered 1860 entire letter locally mailed within Geelong, cancelled by three bold strikes of "2" obliterators in black with "REGISTERED / GEELONG" cds (May 25) at left in red - the earliest recorded day of use
of the 1 d. bright green. The entire with some file folds not affecting the delightful appearance. Cert. Perry (2006).rnrnNote: The reason for the unusual local registration can be found in the contents - the sender James Cowie, a future member of
the Parliament of Victoria and a prominent local businessman, was being sued by the addressee, Alexander Sayers, and the letter was sent registered to provide proof of delivery. (Image 1) (Image 2) (Image 3)

 1863/74: Octagonal 1 s. deep blue on blued on Saunders paper, a sheet marginal example used
on 1871 cover endorsed "via Trieste" to Basel, Switzerland, the endorsement corrected to "via Brindisi", tied by barred numeral "10" of Warrnambool in black. Framed "INSUFFICIENTLY PAID / VIA BRINDISI" in black due to a second stamp, probably a 3 d.
adhesive, being lost in transit, possibly before reaching Melbourne where the marking was applied. 'London / Paid' transit (April 21) in red and backstamped at Warrnambool (Feb 25), Melbourne (Feb 28) and in Basel. Illustrated and discussed in the
Ben Palmer census on page 181. A fine and most unusual cover.rnrnProvenance: RL, London, 13 Sept 1977, ex lot 177.rn Phila Covers (Allan Levy) sale 16, Melbourne, 19 July 1985, lot 38.rn Collection Rod Perry,

have been correctly franked via Brindisi at this date. The previous owner of the cover believed that a second stamp, probably a 3 d. adhesive was lost in transit, possibly before reaching Melbourne where the due marking was applied. However there is
no evidence as to where the 3 d. adhesive was placed unless applied over the selvedge at right. This describer believes the cover was correctly franked for the Trieste rate for a ¼ ounce letter and whilst the endorsement was altered, no further
stamps were applied for the Brindisi increment. (Image 1) (Image 2) (Image 3)
