In granting a Money Order Telegram payable within the Colony, the proper form of Order (Acct. No. 38) must be filled up by the Issuing Officer with the name and address of the payee, the name of the Office at which payment is to be made, the appropriate code word (see table of code words, Acct. No. 313, also page 48), the name of the remitter, the amount in figures and words, and, if an urgent Money Order Telegram is required, the word “Urgent” should be entered in the space set apart for the instructions. The Order must then be signed by the Postmaster, dated with the Office-stamp, and immediately handed in at the Telegraph Office by an Officer of the Department for transmission by telegraph. The Order must not, under any circumstances, be handed to the remitter.
-
When a Money Order Telegram is issued for payment to a person not residing in the place where the Order is payable, the words “Post” or “Carriage paid,” as the case may be, must be inserted in the instructions. It should be made clear to remitters that a Money Order Telegram can be telegraphed only to the Money Order Office at which the Order is payable.
-
Should a Money Order Telegram be lost, either in the course of transmission or after being duly delivered to the payee, a duplicate of it may be obtained on application under Rules 70–73 to the Controller. (See Rule No. 46 (e).)
-
The certificate of issue which forms part of Form Acct. No. 65 must, after being filled in by the Issuing Officer, be detached and handed to the remitter.
-
The applicant for a Money Order Telegram may describe the payee by his official title only; when the payee is so described the Order may be paid in accordance with Rule No. 102.
-
When a remitter desires to correct a Money Order Telegram, application should be made on Form Acct. No. 84, to which must be affixed in stamps a telegraph fee of 6d., plus commission at the Inland rate for ordinary Orders. The particulars of the required correction must be telegraphed briefly by Service Telegram by the Issuing Postmaster to the Paying Postmaster, and, if the correction extends to change of payee’s name or address, the Telegraph Office must be requested to deliver the Order to the new address. When the necessary action has been taken, the correction must be recorded on the back of the requisition, and the application (Acct. No. 84), after being noted, must be forwarded to the Chief Postmaster, and by the Chief Postmaster to the Controller.
