error by a deduction from the total of a later list without first receiving instructions from the Controller. Officers must distinctly understand that once an amount is listed, the amount so advised, whether it be correct or not, passes from the control of the New Zealand Post Office to the Administration to which the list is sent. Any deduction necessary can only be made on the authority of the Head Office of the country concerned, and such authority will be transmitted through the Controller to the Chief Postmaster.
(a.) If, after a list has been despatched, it is found that a Money Order has been advised for a smaller amount than it should have been, or the total of a list has been understated, the Chief Postmaster may adjust the error by making an addition to the total of a subsequent list, adding a full explanatory note against the entry, without waiting for the authority of the Controller.
(b.) All errors discovered in lists should be reported to the Controller on Form P.O. No. 106 by first mail, and, in the case of understatements, it should be clearly stated whether an adjustment has been made.

Upon receipt of a list of Money Orders drawn in Germany, Samoa, or India for payment in New Zealand, the Chief Postmaster at the Exchange Office concerned will proceed to issue the Orders and Advices advised in the list on the special forms headed “Germany,” “Samoa,” or “India,” as the case may require.
