Great Britain Stamps Used in Jamaica. The introduction of adhesive stamps into the island was the outcome of a letter written by the local postmaster, Mr. O'Connor Morris, to Rowland Hill in London. The Postmaster-General had previously refrained from supplying any of the West Indies colonies with stamps in view of the probability of their taking over their own Post Offices, but as this matter had been indefinitely postponed, owing to the refusal of Jamaica to act on his proposition, he no longer saw any grounds for defering the issuing of Imperial stamps. The sanction of the Treasury was therefore gained and a circular was drawn up for guidance of the West Indian Postmasters and despatched with the stamps by the mail packet of 17April 1858. The initial consignment of stamps for Jamaica had a face value of £2,000 and comprised £150 in 1d. stamps, £550 in 4d. stamps and £1,300 in 6d. stamps. These were placed on sale at the Kingston Post Office on 8 May 1858. In a Notice to the Public on that date the Postmaster-General stipulated that for the present the use of stamps was restricted to Overseas Packet correspondence and could not be used for internal correspondence though this caused confusion in the scales of commission paid to the deputies which was currently set at 1%, reduced from an original fee of 15% on letters paid in money. Mr. O'Connor Morris therefore requested permission to use the stamps on all types of correspondence. After receiving O'Connors correspondence Rowland Hill instructed the West Indian Postal Surveyor to investigate the possibility. The Treasury gave their consent to the extension though stipulated that a fine of 4d. would be imposed on every unpaid letter posted in the island for delivery within the colony. Overseas Packet Letter, May 1858-January 1859. 1858 (26 Oct.) envelope to a company of solicitors in Holborn, London, bearing 6d. lilac wing-margin block of ten and four pairs paying an 18 times rate for a package of legal papers, each stamp cancelled "A01" and showing arrival Paid datestamp (20.11) at upper right, despatch datestamp on reverse; a few perf. imperfections as to be expected with an item of this nature. An attractive and remarkable cover, being the largest franking on a Packet Letter to England. A unique exhibition showpiece. Postal History Society Certificate (1943). Photoprovenance:. L.C.C. Nicholson, February 1940. E.E. Yates, July 1940. E.S. Pinchess, October 1943(Image1)
