Col. W.L. Maberly was Secretary to the General Post Office from 1836 to 1854, succeeding Sir Francis Freeling. While Sir Francis Freeling had kept extensive records of changes and decisions relating to the post office, Maberly did not. Here is a printed form in his name sent in 1847, informing the postmaster of Canterbury that his account has been credited with £79 (approx £7,100 today).
