PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS - UNPAID 1d-RATE (TO 4oz) WRAPPER COMPLETE WITH PRINTED "Aliens BILL"; 23 July 1844 plain open-ended unpaid wrapper (closed tears at right barely detract) sent from London (cds on back) to "Birmingham" with the original contents, a printed 19 July 1844 Parliamentary "BILL" regarding "Aliens" (not from UFOs, but non-British subjects!) and so charged only "1[d]", because prepayment was optional for Parliamentary Proceedings such as this and the 1d rate covered weights up to 4 ounces. It is most unusual to find the wrapper with its original contents. [Illustrated in BPPP, p.54.]Cross Reference: PARLIAMENTARY MAIL, POSTAGE DUE MARKS
