Aug. 22.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 2679

published list of money-order offices, orders may be drawn
on any post-office, and payment will be arranged by the
country of payment.

17. In addition to the particulars referred to in Rule 13, the requisition for a money-order for payment beyond New Zealand (the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth of Australia, and the Union of South Africa excepted) must show the full postal address of the payee, and in the case of the United States and Canada also the names of the State and province respectively in which the paying office is situated. These particulars, together with the address of the remitter, must be carefully transcribed into the advice of the order.

18. One portion of an adhesive label (form Acct. 238) intimating that the order is only of value as a receipt for the amount paid in must be affixed to the front of money-orders drawn on foreign countries advised through London (with the exception of British postal agencies at Beyrout, Constantinople, Panama, Salonica, Smyrna, and Morocco), France, Norway, Austria, Germany, India, and agencies of the Indian Post Office on the Persian Gulf, British New Guinea (Papua), Corea, Egypt, Federated Malay States, Formosa, German possessions through Sydney, Samoa, Japan, and Pescadores Islands. The other portion of the form must be affixed to the back of the advice.

19. No money-order may be issued for payment in any of the countries mentioned in the foregoing list to a person whose address is not given as in the country on which the order is to be drawn.

20. In the case of orders drawn for payment through the medium of the London Office, applicants must be informed that the amounts for which such orders are drawn will be subject to a deduction of commission for remittance of the money from London to its destination, according to the following scale: 3d. for each £5 or fraction of £5.

21. In the case of a money-order drawn for payment in a country where the official language is not English, and where both the remitter and payee of the order are of the same nationality, one of the special forms (Acct. 438) with the name and full postal address of the payee written by the remitter (or a compatriot) must be attached to the advice. In the case of orders for payment to natives in India, China, and other Eastern countries, such particulars should be written in vernacular, and for the purposes of identification the fullest details must be given.

22. Having ascertained that the amount of cash received for the order and for the commission is correct, the Postmaster must impress the current date upon the order and the corresponding advice in the proper places with the office date-stamp, and copy into them from the requisition form the amount (which must be written in figures at the head and in words in the body of the order) and the name of the office at which the order is intended to be paid, together with the names (and addresses where necessary—see Rule 17) of the payee and remitter, in the spaces set apart for the purpose. The Postmaster must then copy the particulars from the requisition into the relative columns of the Money-order Issued Statement. All entries must be made with pen and ink.
