(c.) The Postmaster will then prepare a telegram to the paying office on the special form provided for the purpose, the particulars being transcribed in the order in which they are shown on that form, and affix the telegraph charges thereto in stamps. (See example given in Rule 44.)

(d.) The Postmaster must invariably direct the remitter to send a private telegram to the payee, advising him of the issue of the order, the cost of which telegram must be borne by the remitter. This private telegram from the remitter to the payee is indispensable, as the order will not be paid unless it is produced by the payee.

43. The ordinary money-order and advice accompanied by the original requisition must be attached to the Money-order Issued Statement in which the entry appears, and be sent by the Postmaster to his Chief Postmaster, and by the Chief Postmaster to the Controller, without delay.

(a.) In the Money-order Issued Statement the name of the State where the order is payable must be followed by the word “Telegram.”

44. The following formula indicates the matter which should be inserted and charged for in the telegraphic advice of an intercolonial money-order telegram:—

Name of paying office, say .. .. Sydney .. 1
Code-word (see table of code-words,
Acct. 313, also page ) .. .. Axis .. 1
Number of order .. .. .. 742 .. 1
Payee’s name (Christian name as well as
surname essential) .. .. .. Henry Johns .. 2
Amount of order .. .. .. Five pounds .. 2
Remitter’s name (surname only need be
sent) .. .. .. Jones .. 1
Total number of chargeable words
in the above specimen .. .. .. 8

45. When two or more intercolonial money-order telegrams are sent from the same remitter to the same payee at the same time, only the first and last numbers of the series need be given, but the aggregate amount of the orders must be written in words and the code-word covering that amount must be used.

46. An intercolonial money-order telegram may not be “crossed” for payment through a bank.

DUPLICATE MONEY-ORDERS.

47. Should an inland money-order telegram, intercolonial money-order telegram, domestic money-order, or ordinary money-order payable in New Zealand, wheresoever issued, be lost, destroyed, or not received by the payee, a duplicate will be issued on application being made to the Controller on form Acct. 90, provided payment has not already been made. Such applications must invariably be made by either the remitter or the payee o the missing order.

48. Transfer of payment by duplicate will also be arranged by the Controller, upon receipt of form Acct. 90 properly completed. (Form Acct. 80 is not required in such cases).

49. If the Postmaster is satisfied that the missing money-order was lost in transit through the post, the fact should be stated in the application, and the duplicate order will be issued free of charge. In such a case the Postmaster must affix to the application a certificate that the letter containing the order is the subject of a missing-letter inquiry, and add,

Telegram to be forwarded to paying office.

Private telegram to be sent by remitter to payee.

Ordinary order and advices to be attached to M.O. Issued Statement.
