the transfer or repayment of an order. All applications, whether on the prescribed form or in manuscript, must comply with the following conditions before they are accepted.

(a.) The application must be made either by the payee or remitter.

(b.) The application must contain the order and give the number, amount, offices of issue and payment, and the names of both the payee and remitter. If the order has been lost, destroyed, or not received by the payee, an application for a duplicate of the order must be made on form Acct. 90. (See Rules Nos. 47 to 49.)

(c.) The advice must be in the Postmaster's Office, and the name of the applicant, whether payee or remitter, must agree with that shown in the advice.

(d.) Should a person who expects to receive an inland money-order telegram, intercolonial money-order telegram, or a domestic money-order find it necessary to travel beyond the place at which it will be made payable, an application for transfer of payment may be accepted and acted upon, provided the identity of the applicant is established and the essential particulars of the expected order, such as issuing office, remitter, payee, and amount, are supplied. A general instruction to readdress telegrams must not under any circumstances be held to apply to the onward transmission of telegram money-order telegrams or intercolonial money-order telegrams.

(e.) The preceding conditions being fulfilled, the Postmaster must deal with the order received as if it had been paid by him—that is, he must date-stamp and initial it, enter it to his credit in the Money-order Paid Statement (Acct. 28), place the order and the advice with the other paid orders, and transmit both to his Chief Postmaster in the ordinary course. The application should be pinned to the order, and the number of the new order must be shown on the order in the space set apart for the receipt, thus: “By new order, No. 4578.”

(f.) The Postmaster will then issue an order of current number and date in lieu of the original order. If the applicant embodies in his application a request to that effect, a money-order telegram should be issued (or the amount may be remitted by any other means directed). The charge for commission and, in the case of a money-order telegram or intercolonial money-order telegram, the telegraph fee must be deducted from the amount of the original order, and the new order issued for the balance. The commission must be brought to charge in the Money-order Issued Statement (Acct. 27), and the telegraph fee affixed in stamps to the money-order telegram (Acct. 38).

(g.) The new order should be drawn in accordance with the particulars as requested by the applicant, to whom it must be forwarded on the day of issue. If the new order be issued for transmission by post, it should be enclosed in one of the printed official forms (form Acct. No. 80A).

(h.) The name of the original remitter is to be entered as the remitter of the new order, except when the applicant is the payee and requests payment to some other person at some other office, in which case the applicant’s name (the original payee) must be entered as the remitter of the new order. The Postmaster must transcribe the full particulars of the new order upon a requisition form, enter them in his Money-order Issued Statement, and file the form with the requisitions of the day as a record of the transaction. The name of the issuing office, number and
