is chargeable must always appear on the voucher and be entered
on the statement of miscellaneous payments in the space thereon
provided. Sufficient particulars must be entered on the state-
ment to enable the vouchers to be readily traced therefrom. Autho-
rities to pay must in all cases be attached or quoted. Post and
Telegraph Department vouchers must not be used for claims of
other Departments.

1130. Authorities to pay must be signed by the officer issuing
them, and may be given by indorsement, by enfacement, by a
gummed slip attached, or by the special white form issued by the
Treasury.

1131. Bailiffs’ mileage fees may only be paid when authorized
by a Stipendiary Magistrate or by the Under-Secretary of the
Justice Department. Payments made under the authority of
Justices of the Peace, Clerks of the Court, or other persons will
be disallowed. The amount payable will be represented by stamps
affixed to the special form of voucher. Care must be taken to
see that the value of the stamps affixed is not less than the amount
shown on the face of the voucher, and that the stamps have been
duly cancelled by the Clerk of the Court. The authority to pay
must always be sent in attached to the voucher, and no payment
may be made without it.

1132. Payments to Coroners’ juries may be made by Post-
masters in charge of money-order offices on a voucher properly
certified by the Coroner, accompanied by his authority to pay. The
voucher will, as a general rule, contain the names of all the jurors
engaged on any particular inquest, and the paying Postmaster
must take credit for the payments made to any one or more of
them on the day of payment, the names of the jurors not paid
and the amounts set opposite their names must be struck out,
and the voucher as amended sent to the chief office as a remittance
of the amount actually paid. Should the jurors whose names are
so struck out subsequently call for payment, they should be referred
to the Coroner for the issue of a fresh voucher and authority. In
order to guard against a double payment to any one or more
jurymen, the Postmaster should make a note of the names of those
paid on the original voucher.

1133. Interest on New Zealand Consols for which a certificate
has been issued will be paid to the bearer thereof on presentation
at any money-order office, in accordance with the amount shown
on the back of the certificates, and upon the dates given thereon.
Upon payment being made of the interest due, the Postmaster must,
as provided by the form, indorse the certificate with his signature
and the date of payment opposite the amount paid. Every Post-
master must furnish a certificate, in the prescribed form (Treasury
thirteenth form), of the amounts paid by him in respect of
interest on Consols certificates, to be sent to his chief office as a
remittance. Payment of interest on Consols for which no certifi-
cate has been issued will be effected by warrants issued by the
Registrar of Consols from his office at Wellington, and will be
payable at any money-order office. These warrants are transfer-
able, by indorsement, in the manner provided on the form, and
when paid must be taken credit for as a remittance to chief office.
New Zealand Consols warrants may be accepted as savings-bank
deposits.

1134. Interest-coupons on New Zealand Government deben-
tures may be paid by Postmasters in charge of money-order offices
upon presentation, the coupon being initialled by the paying officer
and date-stamped by him with his office date-stamp. The pro-
visions of the form do not of necessity require the signature of
the payee. Payments of interest on debentures not carrying cou-
