POST TOWNS ATSTD SUB-OFFICES IN SCOTLAND.
She sum to be transmitted exceeds five pounds, as many orders may be taken out as
will make up the sum to be sent.
In cases where the personal attendance of the party to whom an order is payable
is inconvenient, if the order is receipted (his or her name written in full) and the
person presenting the order be able to give full information as to the Christian name,
surname, address, and occupation of the person who transmitted the money, payment
will be made, but not unless these conditions are complied with. Orders will not be
granted in favour of any person, unless the Christian name of such person can be
given by the party obtaining the order. Orders cannot now be granted in favour of
the " Secretary" of any Society, the " Publisher" of a paper, &c. In cases of Firms
the initials only are required.
A Money Order must be presented for payment before the end of the Second
Calendar Month after that in which it was issued (for instance, if issued in January,
it must be presented before the end of March), otherwise a new order will be neces-
sary, for which a Second Commission must be paid ; and if it be not presented for
payment before the end of the Twelfth Calendar Month after which it was issued,
the money will not be paid at all.
After an order has been once paid, by whomsoever presented, the office will not be
liable to any further claim.
The Towns upon which Money Orders can be drawn are marked in the lists.
