A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 5¢ CONNELL.
A printing of 500,000 stamps bearing the head of Charles Connell, the Postmaster General of New Brunswick from 1858 was made with the set of definitives for issue on May 1st 1860. The order had been placed in December 1859 together with that for the other values. After printing, the design was not approved by the Council and a 5¢ stamp bearing the Queen's portrait was ordered. Owing to the episode, Charles Connell resigned his office of Postmaster General in May 1860. He paid the bill of £56 6s. From evidence known so far, these stamps were never issued for postage, no used examples have been found. The bulk of the printing was destroyed.
