application, together with the required Advice, to the Controller.
Receipt of duplicate Order at Paying Office.
76. On the receipt of a duplicate Order, payable at his Office, with the necessary authority for payment, the Postmaster must note the issue of the duplicate and the date of its receipt on the Advice, and carry out the instructions accompanying the duplicate; but should the Advice not be on hand, the duplicate Order must be immediately returned to the Controller, with a statement to that effect.
Payment of duplicate Orders.
77. On the payment of a duplicate Order, the memorandum (Form Acct. No. 77B), in which the Postmaster will insert the date of payment, must be filed in the place of the Advice among the Advices of Unpaid Orders, where it will remain until the time when the original Advice would have become void, to serve as a caution against the payment of the original Order.
How to proceed when original Order presented after payment of duplicate.
78. If the original Order be presented after the duplicate has been paid, the Postmaster must detain it, and write across it the words “Cancelled; paid by duplicate Order on [Adding the date of payment].” Before informing the person who presents the Order that it has been cancelled, having been paid by duplicate, the Postmaster should endeavour to elicit from him how it came into his possession, take his name and place of residence (if obtainable), and carefully note his personal appearance, in order to identify him, if necessary. The Postmaster must then forward the Order to the Controller, enclosed in a report containing all the information he may have been able to obtain.
Duplicate Orders to be retained until void.
79. The Postmaster should retain unpaid duplicate Orders until they become void. (See Rule No. 122.) They must then be returned to the Controller, with the letters in which they were sent to the Postmaster.
TRANSFER OR REPAYMENT AND RENEWAL OF MONEY ORDERS.
Transfer, repayment, and renewal of Orders.
80. The Postmaster may arrange the transfer or repayment of any Money Order (including a Money Order Telegram) issued in the Colony payable at his Office, and may also arrange for the transfer of Orders issued beyond the Colony, which are likewise payable at his Office, but repayment of these Orders can be arranged only by application to the Controller. It is desirable, but not imperative, that all applications for transfer or repayment should be made on Form Acct. No. 80, with which the Postmaster is provided, and which he should furnish to any applicant who may desire the transfer or repayment of an Order.
