57 Здесь следует добавить, что эти доставки отличаются от того, что именуется «общей доставкой». Поскольку все основные почтовые отправления прибывают в Лондон утром, курьеры генеральной почты осуществляют лишь три доставки в день. Эти курьеры отличаются от тех, что принадлежат к двухпенсовой почте или городской доставке, тем, что носят ливрею ведомства, а именно: алый мундир с синим воротником и пуговицами с оттиском королевского герба.
58 Лицам, желающим подробнее ознакомиться с этим вопросом, который, впрочем, теперь разрешен, вне сомнения окончательно, путем компромисса с заинтересованными сторонами, рекомендуется обратиться к мнению суда по делу «Соединенные Штаты против Кохерспергера» в отчете генерального почтмейстера за 1860 год.
