Taunton Barred Numeral Cancels - "1844" part 2

Here are my remaining examples of the original Taunton "1844" cancel.  This first example is from December 1844 and shows that the bottom bar has disappeared.

Mourning paper used to order "a packet of materials to be made up".

The second 1d stamp is likely to be to pay a Late Fee.

And finally a solicitor's letter advising another solicitor to bring his client before a magistrate.

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.
