-
When the remitter of a Money Order is also the payee, his signature should be obtained on the margin of the Advice by the Issuing Officer for the guidance of the Paying Officer, thus: “Signature of payee, who is also the remitter.”
-
If an error of any kind be made in filling up a Money Order and is discovered at the time of issue, it must be treated as “spoiled,” and a new Order must be issued, as no alterations or erasures can under any circumstances be permitted. Neglect of this Rule will render the Postmaster liable to the payment of a second commission.
-
Should a Postmaster spoil an Order, he must write across the face of the Order and Advice forms the word “Spoiled” and send them to the Chief Postmaster, attached to the Money Order Issued Statement, in which he must enter the number in the column headed “Office,” writing opposite the entry the words “Not granted. Spoiled.” A similar entry must be made on a form of application (Acct. No. 70), to be filed with the forms of the day’s issue. Spoiled Money Orders must not be included in the total number of Orders issued in the Money Order Issued Statement, or in the Post Office Account.
-
A Money Order once issued cannot be cancelled—that is to say, the Postmaster may not take back an Order once handed to the remitter and return the money or give a new Order in place of it. Repayment may, however, be made if the Advice has not left the Office of issue. (See Rule No. 45.)
-
Money Orders are issued by the Public Works Department and the Department of Roads for remitting part of the earnings of men employed by the Government on road-making and other works. Such Orders must not be drawn on places outside the Colony.
-
Public Works Department Money Orders are printed on paper of pale-green colour, and those of the Department of Roads on paper of salmon colour. The Orders, which are issued by Officers specially authorised by the two Departments, and are subject to payment of the ordinary Inland rates of commission, will be entered in a Money Order Issued Statement (Form Acct. No. 27) and forwarded, together with the Advices, to the nearest Money Order Office, covered by a cheque or cash for the total amount of the Orders, plus commission. On receipt, the Postmaster will compare the Advices with the Statement, and, if in order, he will countersign, date-stamp, and forward the Advices to the respective Paying Offices. The Postmaster will then copy the particulars from the Statement furnished to him by the Public
