which case each witness signs as shown in the example; but, of course, one form of attestation is sufficient.
(22.) Except in the case of a company, one witness may attest all the signatures; but, if different persons sign in the presence of different witnesses, there must be a separate attestation for each person so signing.
(23.) The attestator must in every case be a person not interested in the contract. This, however, does not include a Chief Postmaster or other postal officer, who may, where necessary, witness signatures to a bond.
(24.) When a company executes, the attestation may be:—
“The common seal of the above-named [Name of company in full] was hereto affixed in the presence of us.
“ A. B.,} Directors.
C. D.,}
E. F., Secretary.”
(25.) There may in some cases be variations in the form or requirements of the execution by a company; but these can usually be ascertained from its secretary, who is necessarily conversant with the practice in this respect.
II. Tender.
(26.) To be corrected before Execution of Bond.—As the tender forms part of the contract, special care should be taken to insure all the needful particulars being filled in correctly. If the tender as originally sent in by the contractor be found to be in any way defective, a new form should be filled up by him before execution of the bond.
(27.) Newspaper in which published.—When the tenders have not been called for in the New Zealand Gazette, the part “New Zealand Gazette” should be struck out, and the name of the paper in which they were advertised substituted. The correction is to be initialled by both contractor and sureties.
(28.) Payment of Subsidy.—Special attention is drawn to the necessity of filling in the time of payment under section 19, Terms and Conditions, at the back of tender.
