Taunton Barred Numeral Cancels - "1844" part 1

I've decided to cover the Taunton barred numeral cancels next, which will take a while, starting with the three bar horizontal oval single cancels (3HOS).  The first Taunton cancel was issued in 1844 and had three bars at the top and four at the bottom, though the fourth bar at the bottom no longer registered by December 1844.
Here's my earliest example, from September 1844, with the fourth bar at the bottom still showing.
