"SECOND" ADVICES.
- A "second" advice may only be issued in the following circumstances:—
(a.) When an original advice has been spoiled in issuing an order.
(b.) When a Postmaster in New Zealand reports that the advice of a money-order payable at his office has failed to reach him.
(c.) When the advice of a money-order payable beyond the Dominion fails to reach its destination in New Zealand. (See Rule 35.)
Should an application be received from a Postmaster in Australia or any place beyond New Zealand for the issue of a second advice it must on no account be acceded to. Such applications must be forwarded to the Controller.
(d.) When it is necessary to readvise an order payable in New Zealand for any reported discrepancy in number and amount.
The particulars of the issue of a second advice must invariably be noted on the back of the requisition for the order in the space provided for the purpose.
ALTERATION IN THE NAME OF THE PAYEE.
CORRECTED ADVICES.
- If the remitter of an order shall personally apply for an alteration of the name of the payee, the Postmaster must require him to fill up one of the forms (Acct. 84) and affix thereto in stamps a fee equal to the inland rate of commission on the Order, whether payable within or beyond the Dominion. Applications by letter may also be attended to, provided the necessary commission in postage-stamps is enclosed, the application is signed by the remitter, and the correct particulars of the order are given. The Postmaster must then note the correction on the requisition and act as follows:—
(a.) If payable in New Zealand, one of the advice forms headed "Corrected Advice of Inland Order" must be filled up and despatched to the paying office, and the application form Acct. 84, after being noted "Corrected advice issued," must be forwarded to the Controller.
(b.) When a remitter desires to have the name or address of the payee of a money-order telegram corrected by telegraph, an application must be made on form Acct. 84, to which must be affixed in stamps a telegraph fee of 6d., plus commission at the inland rate for ordinary orders. The Postmaster must send particulars of the required correction to the paying Postmaster in a brief service telegram. Form Acct. 84 is to be treated as directed in clause (a).
(c.) If payable outside New Zealand, the application should be forwarded direct to the Controller, who will arrange payment as desired by the applicant.
INLAND MONEY-ORDER TELEGRAMS.
- Money-orders for transmission by telegraph may only be issued for payment at money-order offices in New Zealand which are also telegraph-offices. The remitter of an inland money-order telegram may, on paying for the additional words required, have a private message for the payee added to the official telegram of advice. He may also, if he so desires, prepay the cost of a telegraphic reply. The
