973. Payments to Coroners’ juries may be made by Postmasters in charge of money-order offices on a voucher properly certified by the Coroner, accompanied by his authority to pay. The voucher will, as a general rule, contain the names of all the jurors engaged on any particular inquest, and the paying Postmaster must take credit for the payments made to any one or more of them on the day of payment, the names of the jurors not paid and the amounts set opposite their names must be struck out, and the voucher as amended sent to the chief office as a remittance of the amount actually paid. Should the jurors whose names are so struck out subsequently call for payment, they should be referred to the Coroner for the issue of a fresh voucher and authority. In order to guard against a double payment to any one or more jurymen, the Postmaster should make a note of the names of those paid on the original voucher.
974. Interest on New Zealand Consols for which a certificate has been issued will be paid to the bearer thereof on presentation at any money-order office, in accordance with the amount shown on the back of the certificates, and upon the dates given thereon. Upon payment being made of the interest due, the Postmaster must, as provided by the form, indorse the certificate with his signature and the date of payment opposite the amount paid. Every Postmaster must furnish a certificate, in the prescribed form, of the amounts paid by him in respect of interest on Consols certificates, to be sent to his chief office as a remittance. Interest on Consols for which no certificate has been issued will be effected by warrants issued by the Registrar from his office at Wellington, which will be payable at any money-order office. These warrants are transferable, by indorsement, in the manner provided on the form, and when paid must be taken credit for as a remittance to chief office. New Zealand Consols warrants may be accepted as Savings-bank deposits.
975. Interest-coupons on New Zealand Government debentures may be paid by Postmasters in charge of money-order offices upon presentation, the coupon being initialled by the paying officer and date-stamped by him with his office date-stamp. The provisions of the form do not of necessity require the signature of the payee. Debentures not carrying interest-coupons must be treated in the same manner as New Zealand Consols interest.
976. The value of Government cable messages is to be taken credit for on Form Acct. 395, and the following instructions observed: On a Government cable message being received, stamps must be affixed thereto sufficient to cover the charges then in force according to the Table of Rates in the Guide, a halfpenny in the total being considered as a whole penny for purposes of account.
