"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 1, November 27, 1841"

16th.
PROMOTIONS.--POST OFFICE.
1st Body of
General Postmen--Timothy Sneak, to Broad-street bell and bag,
vice Jabez Broadfoot, who retires into the
chandlery line.
" Horatio Squint to Lincoln's-Inn bell and bag,
vice Timothy Sneak.
" Felix Armstrong to Bedford-square bell and bag,
vice Horatio Squint.
" Josiah Claypole (from the body of letter-sorters)
to Tottenham-Court-road bell and bag, vice
Felix Armstrong. N.B. This deserving young man
is indebted to his promotion for detecting a
brother letter-sorter appropriating the contents
of a penny letter to his own uses, at the
precise time that the said Josiah Claypole had
his eye on it, for reasons best known to himself.
The twopenny-postmen are highly incensed at
this unheard-of and unprecedented passing them
over; and great fears are entertained of their
resignation.
