No. 65

amount of the original order, preceded by the words "Transfer
(or repayment) of" must be entered on the requisition in the
space provided for the address of the remitter.

(i.) If there should be a slight and unimportant discrepancy between the names of payee or remitter as shown in the application and advice, the Postmaster may, if he is satisfied of the bona fides of the applicant, transfer the order. He must, however, perpetuate the discrepancy by entering the name in the advice of the new order exactly as shown in the advice of the original order transferred. He must also endorse the original order as follows: "Transferred as advised. Identity satisfactory," and add his initials.

(j.) If the application for transfer or repayment relates to a "crossed" order, the new order issued in lieu thereof must also be "crossed."

57. When any of the conditions stated in Rule 56 have not been complied with, the Postmaster must apprise the applicant accordingly by means of one of the printed forms (Acct. 80B).

58. Applications for transfer or repayment received by telegraph may be acted upon, provided the essential particulars, including number, amount, and full name of the remitter and payee, of the order referred to are supplied and the word "Verified" appears in the instructions of the telegram.

59. The Postmaster may also accept an application on form Acct. 80 for the repayment in New Zealand of an order (including an intercolonial money-order telegram) issued at his office for payment beyond the Dominion. Such application must be addressed to the Controller, Money-order Office, G.P.O., Wellington. Repayment will be made in due course after it has been ascertained from the Head Office of the country of payment that the order has not been paid by means of a duplicate order, and that payment has been stopped. The following conditions must be complied with:

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

(b.) The application must contain the order, if it is available, give the number, amount, names of issuing and paying offices, and the names of the payee and the remitter, and must indicate the name of the office at which repayment is desired and the name of the person in whose favour the new order is to be drawn.

60. The Postmaster may accept for transmission to the Controller an application on form Acct. 80 for the renewal of a money-order issued at his office the period of currency of which has expired without payment having been effected, subject to the conditions set out in the foregoing rule.

61. Repayment of a money-order drawn in favour of a Receiver of Land Revenue or a Commissioner of Crown Lands, inadvertently made payable at an office other than that at which it was issued (see Rule No. 30), may be arranged for if the money-order is superscribed by the payee with a request to that effect. The new order issued in such a case will be forwarded by the Receiver of Land Revenue or the Commissioner of Crown Lands, as the case may be, to the Postmaster in charge of the office at which it is made payable, for delivery to the payee named in the advice, upon presentation by him of the memorandum received from the Receiver of Land Revenue or Commissioner of Crown Lands announcing the result of the appli-
