A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 5¢ CONNELL.

A printing of 500,000 stamps bearing the head of Charles Connell, the Postmaster General of New Brunswick from 1858 was made with the set of definitives for issue on May 1st 1860. The order had been placed in December 1859 together with that for the other values. After printing, the design was not approved by the Council and a 5¢ stamp bearing the Queen's portrait was ordered. Owing to the episode, Charles Connell resigned his office of Postmaster General in May 1860. He paid the bill of £56 6s. From evidence known so far, these stamps were never issued for postage, no used examples have been found. The bulk of the printing was destroyed. (Image1)		 Scott $16,000

Canada and New Brunswick refused to contribute to the cost of an improved stage coach service between Halifax and Pictou. They held the position that as the packet postage remitted to England they should receive mail without further charge. Also, Canada wished to receive her mail via Boston. This change came into force in Spring 1845 so that the service from Pictou was no longer needed and the Steamer "Unicorn" was transferred to the Halifax-St. Johns (Newfoundland) route.
