WHITCHURCH - 1d MULREADY LETTER-SHEET WITH MX (APPARENTLY STRUCK IN NEWCASTLE!) CLEAR OF BRITANNIA & APPARENTLY STRUCK IN NEWCASTLE!; Extraordinary 30th Dec. 1841 commercial usage of the Mulready 1d Black letter-sheet (stereo A65; central vertical fold clear of marks; cancelling an order for some "Roll Ridges") from "Lime Kiln Wharf" near "WHITCHURCH-SALOP" (v. fine cds on front) to "Tunstall" with v. fine "NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LINE" cds just across the join. There is a most unusual partially 'hollow' black Maltese Cross well clear of Britannia (and so contrary to regulations), but strangely it appears to have been struck in Newcastle under Line (it matches the cds on the reverse). Presumably it was accidentally left uncancelled in Whitchurch and cancelled (incorrectly) on arrival at Tunstall head office in Newcastle. Unique 'Comedy of Errors'?!
