named as the Paying Office. (See Rule No. 116.) Rule No. 99 expressly forbids the payment of an Order unless the corresponding Advice has been received, and this Rule must never be departed from without authority except in the case of Orders the amounts of which have been paid to credit of the Public Account. (See Rule No. 101.)
- Money Orders drawn upon a place where there is no bank will, if presented at the Chief Office of the Postal District in which the Paying Office is situated, be paid subject to the following conditions and the bank’s acceptance thereof :—
(a.) Bank authorities must be informed at the time of payment that the amount so paid must be refunded should it subsequently be ascertained that payment has been made at the Paying Office by means of a duplicate Money Order.
(b.) A commission at the Inland rate must be paid on presentation of an Order so treated, and stamps to the value of the commission must be affixed thereto, and cancelled with an impression of the Chief Office date-stamp.
-
Should an Order be presented for payment which has been improperly drawn for an amount including the fractional part of a penny—say, for £1 14s. 6½d. or £2 13s. 7¼d.—the Postmaster must pay and claim the amount, less the fraction, and note the Order, immediately under the amount entered in figures at the Issuing Office, thus : “ Amount paid, £1 14s. 6d.” or “ Amount paid, £2 13s. 7d.”
-
When an Order is presented and is found to differ from the Advice, the Postmaster must refuse payment unless the payee be well known to him, and the difference is slight and evidently accidental and not affecting the amount. Should the discrepancy be in the amount he must refuse payment, and send Form Acct. No. 91 to the Issuing Postmaster. Upon the return of the form with a statement of the amount actually payable, the Postmaster must pay that amount, and note the Order immediately under the amount entered in figures at the Issuing Office, thus : “ Amount paid as per authority attached [Here insert the amount paid].” He must attach Form Acct. No. 91 to the Order, and send both to the Chief Postmaster with the Money Order Paid Statement in which credit is claimed.
-
When an Order issued in New Zealand is presented for which the Postmaster has received no Advice, he must forward by the first post to the Issuing Office one of the printed letters of inquiry for missing Advices (Form Acct. No. 73), placing at the same time a note of the inquiry, on Form Acct. No. 146,
