Default London fancy cancel

What is the rest of the card. Perhaps something to do with newspapers?
If not, then it's probably 'canceled against regulations'.

Thank you very much.
This one is on a letter card sent to Canada, so I did not think to a newspaper pre-cancel.
Best regards,


This unusual (?) one seems to be a London fancy cancel, but I do not find informations about it.

This is a newspaper agent pre-cancel, starting inthe 1870's. Issued to
certain large newspapers and agents to pre-cancel them before mailing.
Alcock and Holland are the GB cancel specialists, this is their type
