MONEY OEDERS,
1. When applying for Money Orders, whether
Inland, Foreign, or Colonial, the public should use
the prepared printed '• Application Forms," which are
supplied gratuitously at ail Money Order Offices.
2. Commission. — The commission on Inland Money
Orders is : —
For sums not exceeding £1, - - - 2d.
" above £1 and not exceeding £2, 3d.
" " 2 " " 4, 4d.
" ''• 4 " " 7, 5d.
" " 7 " " ](), 6d.
3. No order is allowed to contain a fractional
part of a penny.
4. Particulars Required. — The applicant must fur-
nish in full the surname and at least the initial of one
Christian name, both of the reaiitter and tlie payee,
;ind the remitter's address. In the case of Foreign
Orders the full address of the payee must be given;
and if the order be payable to a native in British
India the tribe or caste, and the father's name, must
also be furnished.
Exceptions. — 1st. The remitter of an Inland Order
may direct, at the time of issue, that the order be crossed
like a cheque, tlius & Co., and thus be made payable
only through a Bank. In that case he may give or
withhold tlie name of the payee. The designation
of the Bank need not be furnished. jYote. — This
provision is not applicable to orders drawn on foreign
countries.
2nd. If the remitter or payee be a peer or a bishop,
his ordinary title is sufficient.
3rd. The usual designation of a firm is sufficient,
except in the cass of a company trading under a
title which does not consist of the name of the per-
sons composing it, as the " Carron Company;" but
even a designation of this nature may t)e accepicd,
provided the order be crossed for presentation for pay-
ment through a bank.
6. The holder of an Inland Money Order may
direct, by crossing it, that the order be paid through
a bank, even though its payment was not originally
so restricted.
6. When application is made for a Money Order
payable in London, or at any other town wheie
there is more than one Money Order Office, the
remitter should say at which of such offices he
wishes it to be paid, otherwise the order can be
cashed only at the Head Office.
7. An order once issued cannot be cancelled ; and
should repayment or transfer to a different office be
required, the remitter or payee must apph' to the
paying Postmaster according to the directions in
paragniph 15 of thef^e regulations.
8. Money Orders do not require a receipt stamp.
9. When an Order is paid through a bank it is
sufficient that it be receipted, without regard to any
discrepancy between the signature and the name in
the advice, and that it be crossed with the name of
the bank, and presented by some person known to
be in the employment of that bank.
10. Although at the end of twelve months from
that in which it was issued, a Money Order, if still
unpaid, becomes legally void, nevertheless, when a
good reason can be given for the delay in presentinij
it, an application for payment, subject to a certain
deduction, is entertained.
11. No application can be entertained for compen-
sation for alleged injury from the non-payment of a
Money Order at the expected time.
