When remitter is also the payee.

  1. When the remitter of a money-order drawn for payment in New Zealand is also the payee, his signature should be obtained on the margin of the advice by the issuing officer for the guidance of the paying officer, thus: “Signature of payee, who is also the remitter : ————.”

Errors in drawing orders.

  1. If an error of any kind be made in filling up a money-order and is discovered at the time of issue, the order must be treated as “spoiled,” and a new order must be issued, as no alterations or erasures can be permitted under any circumstances.

(a.) If an error be made in entering particulars in the advice, the advice must be destroyed and one of the “second advice” forms used in lieu thereof.

Spoiled money-order forms.

  1. When a form of money-order, domestic money-order, or money-order telegram is spoiled in the course of being issued the Postmaster must write across the face thereof (and also across the face of the advice in the case of ordinary money-orders) the word “Spoiled,” and send them to the Chief Postmaster, attached to the Money-order Issued Statement, in which he must enter the number in the column headed “Office,” writing opposite the entry the words “Not granted. Spoiled.” A similar entry must be made on a requisition form, which must be filed with the other forms of the day’s issue. Spoiled orders must not be included in the total number of orders issued in the Money-order Issued Statement, nor in the Post Office Account.

Orders may not be cancelled.

  1. A money-order once issued cannot be cancelled—that is to say, the Postmaster may not take back an order once handed to the remitter and return the money or give a new order in place of it. Repayment may, however, be made if the advice has not left the office of issue. (See Rule 62.)

Money-orders issued by Public Works Department.

  1. Money-orders are issued by the Public Works Department for remitting part of the earnings of men employed by the Government on road-making and other works. [Such orders must not be drawn on places outside the Dominion.

(a.) These money-orders, which are printed on paper of pale-green colour, are issued by officers specially authorized by the Public Works Department, and are subject to payment of the ordinary inland rates of commission. They will be entered in a Money-order Issued Statement (form Acct. 27) and forwarded, together with the advices, to the nearest money-order office, covered by a cheque or cash for the total amount of the orders, plus commission. On receipt, the Postmaster will compare the advices with the statement, and, if in order, he will countersign, date-stamp, and forward the advices to the respective paying offices. The Postmaster will then copy the particulars from the statement furnished to him by the Public Works officer
