the money of such deceased Depositor to any one or
more of the persons who in his opinion would have
been entitled to the same according to the Statute of
Distributions, if the said Depositor or such person or
persons, or all or both of them, had been legitimate.
57. If any Depositor shall become insane, or other-
wise incapacitated to act, and the same shall be proved
to the satisfaction of the Postmaster-General, and if
the Postmaster-General shall be satisfied of the urgency
of the case, he may authorize payment from time to
time, out of the funds of such Depositor, to any person
whom he shall judge proper, and the receipt of such
person, shall be a good discharge for the same.
MISCELLANEOUS.
- If any dispute shall arise between the Postmaster-
General and any individual Depositor, or any executor,
administrator, next of kin, or creditor or assignee of a
Depositor who may become bankrupt or insolvent, or
any person claiming to be such executor, administrator,
next of kin, creditor or assignee, or to be entitled to
any money deposited in the Post Office Savings Bank,
then and in every such case the matter in dispute shall
be referred to arbitration, as provided in "The Savings
Bank Act, 1858,"—one arbitrator to be chosen and
appointed by the Postmaster-General, and the other by
the party with whom the dispute arose. - When a Depositor applies for payment of the
balance of money deposited, and of interest, and desires
the account to be closed, the Deposit Book must be
given up. Should a new account be afterwards opened,
it will be necessary that a new Deposit Book be issued,
and that the other regulations should be strictly con-
formed to.
But if a Depositor opens an account and closes it
again within the period of one month from the date on
which he opened it, he will be charged One Shilling
for the books, forms, and ledger-space thus occupied. - The Officers of the Postmaster-General engaged
in the receipt or payment of deposits shall not disclose
the name of any Depositor, nor the amount deposited
or withdrawn by him, except to the Postmaster-General
or to such of his Officers as may be appointed to assist
in carrying out the provisions of the Post Office
Savings Bank Act. - In the construction of these Regulations, unless
there is something in the subject or context repugnant
thereto, every word importing the singular number
only shall mean and include several persons or things,
as well as one person or thing, and the converse; and
every word importing the masculine gender only shall
mean and include a female as well as a male; the
word "month" shall mean a calendar month. The
word "Province" shall include the County of West-
land, and every district or part of the Colony which
shall not for the time being be within any Province.
