shillings and sixpences up to 20s, may be transmitted by two

parting with it, fill in the name of the person to whom the
amount is to be paid, and may fill in the name of the Money
Order Office at which the amount is to be paid. The person so
named must, before payment can be made, sign the receipt at the
foot of the Order, and must also fill in the name of the Money
