No claim after payment.
109. After once paying a Money Order, by whomsoever presented, the Department is not liable to any further claim. The Postmaster-General, however, reserves to himself the power to require an Officer to make good any amount which, through want of care or neglect of the instructions, may have been paid to a wrong person.
Orders not paid, no liability in respect of.
110. No application can be entertained for compensation for alleged injury through the non-payment of a Money Order at the expected time. When a Money Order is applied for it must be granted on the clear understanding that no such claim will be allowed.
No fee to be demanded for cashing Order.
111. The Postmaster must not, under any pretence whatever, demand a fee for cashing a Money Order, except by special authority of the Controller.
Payment through a bank.
112. When a Money Order, except a Public Works or Department of Roads Order, is paid through a bank, it is sufficient, as regards the receipt, that it be stamped with an impression of the official stamp of the bank, and be presented by some person known to be in the employment of that bank. As regards date, number, and amount, the Order must be seen to be in agreement with the relative Advice before payment is made.
“Crossed” Money Orders.
113. The holder of a Money Order, except a Public Works or Department of Roads Order, payable at a place where there is a bank is always at liberty to direct, by crossing it, that the Order be paid through a bank, even though its payment was not originally so restricted, and when such an Order is so crossed the question put on the presentation of an Ordinary Money Order is dispensed with, and the foregoing observances alone enforced; but an Order crossed as payable through a bank must not be paid unless presented through a bank, although the Advice may not be so crossed, except when there is no bank in the place on which the Order is drawn.
(a.) When a Money Order issued, or afterwards crossed, for payment through a bank is drawn upon a place where there is no bank, it may be paid direct to the payee named in the Advice, on the conditions prescribed in Rules Nos. 99, 100, and 102. The Order should be enfaced “No bank.”
Public Works Department and Department of Roads: Orders not to be paid through a bank.
114. Money Orders issued by the Public Works Department and Department of Roads must not under any circumstances be paid if presented through a bank. A direction to that effect is printed on the back of the Order forms.
Payment to a bank of Money Orders drawn on offices where there is no bank.
115. Payment of Money Orders presented through a bank may only be made at the Post Office upon which the Orders have been drawn and advised, unless there is no bank at the place
