Savings Bank in Great Britain or Ireland,
nor to anj' sura or sums standing in the
name or names of any other person or per-
sons in the books of the said Post Office
Savings Bank ; and I do hereby also tes-
tify my consent that my deposits in the
said Post Office Savings Bank shall be
managed according to the Regulations
thereof.
Witness my hand this
day of , 186 .
Signed by the said
depositor in the
presence of me.
Save and except such benefit as I may be
entitled to from being a member of a
friendly society legally established ; or
from such sum or sums as may be stand-
ing in my name as trustee jointly with the
name or names and on behalf of any other
depositor or depositors.
