1821 Pre-stamp. An interesting entire sent from Bristol to Ludlow
bearing a Bristol dispatch datestamp on reverse for ??.26.1821. The
undated contents of this magnificent entire are from a Bristol
medical student appealing to his father for financial help
resulting from a foiled graveyard body snatching sortie intended
for medical research and dissection bearing some interesting
contents "We got into Bristol and it was with the greatest
difficulty that we escaped the watchman, who would have most
certainly have handed us into Bridewell as they have already served
two young gentleman, had they caught us in the state we were with
shovels on our shoulders... about an hour after our departure from
the churchyard it was discovered by a milkman that the grave had
been disturbed in consequence the village was in uproar and finding
the gig they immediately guessed for what purpose it had been
brought and it was by the churchwardens immediately ordered it to
be seized... as we merely attempted to carry off the body, our
offence was cognisable and that it was a most unjust thing to
detail the gig as we are obliged to pay the owner so much a day...
I know not how much we shall have to pay ultimately for breaking
the shafts and other injuries but i thought it right to say that my
pockets are not in a state to stand much of a run."

National Insurance: c.1975 (?) group of 14 large format issues for
multiple contributions (as booth P385 fig. V), values from £2.88 to
£28.60, each overprinted large format 'CANCELLED.' A fascinating
group about which very little is known, the group unlisted by
Booth, though he mentions the earlier decimal issues of this design
are 'thought to be essays'. In our view it is far more likely these
saw internal usage for accounting purposes and were not on sale to
the public. In any case a fascinating and scarce group, ripe for
further research
