§ Mr. Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies by whose authority complete sheets of the new overprinted commemoration stamps of the Bahamas were cancelled to order before being sold; and has he considered its effect upon the long standing instructions to all colonial postmasters not to bring the postal administration into disrepute by cancelling stamps to order?
§ Colonel StanleyI have no information to show whether these stamps were cancelled before or after they were sold; but I am causing inquiries to be made.
