The publication must first have been accepted as a newspaper by the Post-

Post Office, from which it is liable to be removed, either through the
non-renewal of the registration fee, 5s., year by year, or in conse-
quence of any change which may deprive it of the characteristics of
a newspaper.
A newspaper, or a packet of newspapers, posted unpaid is chargeable with
double postage,, if insufficiently prepaid, with double the deficiency.
Every newspaper must be posted either without a cover, or in a cover en-
tirely open at both ends, so as to admit of easy removal for examination.
If this rule be infringed, the newspaper is treated as a letter.
