14 APPENDIX.
Any Depositor in the Post Office Savings Bank who may desire
to transfer his deposits to any other Savings Bank legally estab-
lished, shall, on his written application, accompanied by his book,
to the chief office of the Postmaster- General, in a form to be ob-
tained at any Post Office Savings Bank, be furnished with a Certi-
ficate, in the statutory form, of the whole amount due to him, and
his account with the Post Office Savings Bank shall thereupon be
closed.
Upon delivery of such certificate to the Trustees or Managers of
the Savings Bank to which it is proposed by the Depositor to
transfer the deposit, they shall, if they think fit, open an account
for the amount stated in such certificate, upon the Depositor mak-
ing the usual declaration.
Any Depositor in any legally established Savings Bank who
may desire to transfer his account to the Post Office Savings Bank,
may require from the Trustees or Managers of such Bank, a certi-
ficate in the statutory form, signed by two Trustees of such Savings
Bank, stating the amount due to him, and thereupon his account
with such Bank shall be closed.
The said Certificate may be delivered to any officer of the Post-
master-General authorised to receive deposits under the Post
Office Savings Bank Act, and shall be received by him as if it
were a deposit of the amount therein set forth ; and on the said
Certificate being forwarded to London, and verified by the Nation-
al Debt Commissioners, an account for the amount thereof shall be
opened with the said Depositor, and an acknowledgment for the
said amount sent to him.
Any Depositor wishing to withdraw the whole or part of the
ssum deposited by him, must make application for the same to the
Postmaster- General, in the statutory form, a printed copy of which
may be obtained at any Post Office Savings Bank.
In this form the Depositor must specify the number of his book,
the name of the office at which his first deposit was made, the sum
he wishes to withdraw, his occupation and residence, and the Post
Office at which he wishes to receive his money. On receipt of
this application, a warrant for the amount required, payable at
the office named, shall be sent to him by post.
By the same post, the Postmaster at whose office the warrant is
made payable shall be advised of the issue of the warrant. This
warrant must be presented by the Depositor at the Post Office
named thereon, together with the Depositor's book, in which the
Postmaster shall enter the amount repaid, and attest the entry with
his signature, and the dated stamp of his office. The postmaster
shall take a receipt from the Depositor on the warrant for the
amount repaid to him, which receipt is not chargeable with stamp
duty.
