When a resident of Burton-oh-Trent, England, returned home after a visit to New Zealand, his conscience was burdened by the knowledge of a debt of 2d to the Christchurch Tramway Board. In a crowded car on a short trip the conductor had not reached him in time. But thousands of miles of space did not mitigate his appreciation of his obligations, and the result was that ' the Christchurch Tramway Board recently received two penny stamps. In an accompanying note the writer said: "Enclosed two penny stamps, payment for journey made on the tram from cricket ground to city on day of test match in April. Owing to the congested nature of the crowd on the tram the conductor could not get to me for payment before it was time to get off."
