 PARLIAMENTARY. PARLIAMENTARY NOTICE COVERS SENT AT CORRECT 7d OR WRONG-DATE 1d RATES (ONE WITH FULL CONTENTS); Attractive 12
Dec. 1857 env. (corner crease well clear of stamps and marks) with "PARLIAMENTARY NOTICE" heading with 1d Red tied by London "50" diamond numeral (used for special purposes) and (in the opposite corner) a 6d Lilac cancelled by the London "44" diamond
numeral. This is the correct 7d-rate franking so one must assume that one stamp was initially left uncancelled and then found (and cancelled) by an Inspector elsewhere in the London PO building [ex SG 17 Apr. 2008, lot 118, realised £240+BP;
illustrated in BPPP, p.59]. Plus unusual similar "PARLIAMENTARY NOTICE" imprint cover to Carlisle but with only the 1d Red (tied by London "22" numeral) because it was posted on 24 Jan. 1857, which was too late for the special December (1856) posting
date; this latter cover most unusually still has its complete contents inc. a reply sheet with the unused 1d Red still in place [ex Magpie Sept. 2021; lot 411, paid £176]. Good pair. (2 covers) Cross Reference: 1854-65 1d REDS, PARLIAMENTARY
