combined roads on which the offence may have been com mitted ; and the
Contractor shall also forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding Five pounds for each
letter, packet of letters, or articles subject to postage so received,

20. The Contractor shall forfeit
and pay the sum of Five shillings for every delay of ten minutes (after the

boxes, dry covering, and requisites, as may be deemed necessary aud requisite
by the Postmaster-General for carrying out this contract, or to convey the said
mails on the days, at the times, and in the manner hereinbefore set forth, it
shall and may be lawful for the Postmaster-General, at the expense of the said
Contractor, to procure the said mails to be carried, and to deduct the costs
and charges occasioned thereby from any payment to be made to the said
Contractor under his contract. And the Contractor shall also forfeit and pay
the sum of Ten pounds when and as often as any such deficiency as aforesaid shall

the routes of the ser vices to be performed thereunder, or of reducing the
frequency thereof; and if such re-arrangement and change of route shall
increase or lessen, or if such reduction in frequency shall lessen the distance
to be travelled by mail vehicles or horses, or if the
frequency be increased, a
proportionate increase or reduction, as the case may require, may be made in
the amounts to be paid under this contract, computed upon the basis of the
mileage rate of the contract. The Postmaster-General may, however, contract or
agree with any person other than the Contractor for any increase in the
frequency of such services; and the Contractor shall have no right to demand

handed to every postmaster on the line of road, or where required, for the time
of arrival and departure to be filled in, and must be delivered to the
postmaster at the terminal office. The Contractor will be fined Ten shillings

will not be taken as an excuse.
32. When it is not practicable
for mails to be conveyed by vehicle, Contractors must make provision for their
conveyance by packhorse or other means.
