Transfer of payment by duplicate will also be arranged by the Controller.

If the Postmaster is satisfied that the missing Money Order was lost in transit through the post, the fact should be stated in the application, and the duplicate Order will be issued free of charge.
-
If, however, the original Order was lost in any other way, the applicant must affix a fee of 6d. in postage-stamps to the application. Under no circumstances can a duplicate Order be granted until the expiration of a week after the receipt of the application.
-
Should the remitter of a Money Order issued in New Zealand for payment beyond the Colony report the loss of such an Order, the Postmaster should furnish the remitter with the particulars of the Order, and direct him to forward them to the payee, with the request that a duplicate Order may be applied for in the country of payment.

When it has been notified to the Postmaster that a duplicate has been granted of an Order issued by him, he must make a note of the issue and the date of the duplicate on the back of the application (Acct. No. 70) relating to the original Order. If the Paying Office subsequently applies to him for an Advice of the duplicate Order, he must forward the
