33. The Postmaster will endeavour to prevent fraud,
    and to identify every Depositor transacting business
    with the Post Office Savings Bank; but if any person
    shall wrongfully obtain any sum of money belonging to
    any Depositor, the Postmaster will not be responsible
    for the loss thereof.
34. When a Warrant is lost in its transit through
    the Post Office, and is not delivered to the Depositor, a
    duplicate of the same will be issued by the Postmaster,
    free of cost; but if it is lost by the Depositor, after due
    delivery by post or otherwise, a charge of One Shilling
    will be made for the duplicate.
35. In all cases of application for duplicate Warrants,
    reasonable proof of the loss of the original must be
    given; and when a duplicate has been granted,
    notice thereof must be sent by first post to the paying
    officer, who will adopt the requisite precautions for
    guarding against future payment of the lost Warrant.
36. If after payment of a duplicate the original
    Warrant shall be presented for payment, the Post-
    master will keep possession of it, and write across it,
    in red ink, "Cancelled by payment of Duplicate on
    the day of 18 ."
37. If a Depositor has applied for a Warrant, and
    before its return from the Chief Post Office has left
    the place at which it is made payable, the Postmaster
    may, if required, and on receipt of one shilling,
    transfer payment of such Warrant to any Post Office
    Savings Bank within the Province most convenient to
    the Depositor.
38. A Warrant cannot be cancelled, except in the
    case of payment of a duplicate, but the Postmaster
    may take it as a reinvestment by passing the amount
    through the Depositor's Book, first as a withdrawal,
    and afterwards as a deposit.
39. A Depositor who is about to remove from one
    Province to another should give a written authority to
    the Chief Postmaster of the Province which he is leaving
    to transfer the balance of deposits standing to his
    credit to the office of the Chief Postmaster of the
    Province to which he is about to remove. The Post-
    master will thereupon transmit a Certificate to the Post
    Office Savings Bank to which the balance of deposits
    is to be transferred, and will at once close the Depo-
    sitor's account. But unless the account shall be so
    transferred, the Depositor shall not be entitled to with-
    draw any deposit except from a Post Office within the
    Province in which the same shall have been deposited.
40. Except in the cases herein specially provided
    for, repayments shall be made only to the Depositor
    in person, or to the bearer of an order under his hand,
    signed in the presence of, and attested by, a person
    known to the Postmaster, a Justice of the Peace, or, in
    case of sickness, of the Medical Attendant, or a
    Minister of Religion. If the Depositor be resident
    abroad, his signature must be verified by some
    Governor, Judge, Mayor, Notary, or British Consul,
    or other constituted authority of the place in which
    he resides. Printed forms of orders can be obtained at
    any Post Office Savings Bank.
41. Applications to withdraw money deposited by
    any Friendly, Charitable, or Provident Society, or
    Savings Bank, must be signed by the sole Trustee, or
    two of the Trustees of any such Society or Savings
    Bank, or when there is no Trustee, then by the
    Treasurer, or some officer performing the duty of
    Treasurer; and the names of the Trustee or Treasurer,
    or other Officer of the Society authorized to receive the
    amount to be withdrawn, shall be stated in the notice
    of withdrawal. The Warrant for payment of the
    amount shall be made out in the name of such Trustee,
