Still the demand was for more money to help replenish an exhausted treasury. An additional penny was added for the conveyance of a single letter more than twenty miles beyond the place where the letter was posted within Great Britain and between Great Britain and Ireland. For the conveyance of a single letter between Great Britain and any of the colonies or to any foreign country an additional 2_d._ was required. These additional rates did not apply to letters to and from Jersey or Guernsey, or to and from any non-commissioned officer, soldier, or sailor.[601] Samples weighing no more than one ounce were to pay 2_d._ if enclosed in a letter, if not enclosed, 1_d._ As this is the highest point to which postage rates in England have ever attained, it may be interesting to give the rates resulting from this act in tabular form as far as the postage for inland single letters was concerned.[602] _d._ Not exceeding 15 miles 4 Above 15 but not exceeding 20 miles 5 20 30 6 30 50 7 50 80 8 80 120 9 120 170 10 170 230 11 230 300 12 300 400 13 400 500 14 500 600 15 600 700 16 700 miles 17 [601] Single letters written by or to non-commissioned officers, privates, and seamen must be on their own business, and if sent by them must bear their own signatures and the signature of their superior officer with the name of their regiment or ship (46 Geo. III, c. 92). [602] 52 Geo. III, c. 88. In 1806, the rate for a single letter between Falmouth and Gibraltar was fixed at 21_d._, between Falmouth and Malta 25_d._, between Gibraltar and Malta 6_d._ (46 Geo. III, c. 73). In 1808, the rate for a single letter between Falmouth and Madeira was fixed at 18_d._, between Falmouth and Brazil 29_d._ (48 Geo. III, c. 116). In 1810, an additional penny (Irish) was added to the rates then in force in Ireland, with the exception of the penny rate on the Dublin Penny Post Letters.[603] Three years later the rates and distances for Ireland were changed again. As compared with the old rates they were as follows, both tables being in Irish miles and Irish currency and for single letters only:-- [603] 50 Geo. III, c. 74.
