Foreign Telegraph Money Orders.
Money may be transmitted by Telegraph Money Order to the follow-
ing countries : — ■
Certain offices only in Algeria, Egypt, Faroe Islands, France, Iceland,
Italy, Luxemburg, Roumania, and Sweden.
Any place in Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Germany, Hol-
land, *Hungary, *Norway, and Switzerland.
The charges are — a money order commission at the rate for orders
payable abroad ; the cost of a telegram of advice at the rate per word
for telegrams for the country in which the order is to be paid; and a
supplementary fee of 6d. per order.
Money Orders do not require a receipt stamp.
Although at the end of twelve months from that in which it was
issued, a Money Order, if still unpaid, becomes legally void, neverthe-
less, when a good reason can be given for the delay in presenting it, an
application for payment, subject to a certain deduction, is entertained.
No application can be entertained for compensation for alleged
injury from the non-payment of a Money Order at the expected time.
After once paying a Money Order, by whomsoever presented, the
Post Office is not liable to any further claim.
