The London Evening-Post Boycott by Post Office Clerks
The Clerks of the Roads in the Post Office have orders not to send The London Evening-Post to country customers. The paper claims broad support for opposing the late Excise Scheme and vows to continue pursuing the true interests of the country. Gentlemen will have the paper delivered by friends or another means, avoiding a court paper.
