Duty would become a 20 cent duty (fl. 0'20) ; a 6d. Agreement stamp would become a 25 cent stamp. The penny postage would now become 4 cents, and the weight be 120 grams (instead of 4 oz. ), and for every additional 60 grams the postage would be 2 cents. By the slight depreciation in the value of the cent (over the old farthing), the public would, with regard to postage, gain an equivalent advantage.
