cation and advising the return of the deposits lodged.
No deduction from the amount of the original order is to
be made, but the letters "C.L." must be written in the
commission column in the Money-order Issued Statement
against the entry of the order issued in accordance with this
rule.
Repayment may
be made to
remitter at
issuing office,
provided advice
has not left
office.
62. Should an order be presented by the remitter for repayment at the office of issue before the relative advice has left
that office, the Postmaster may treat such order as payable at
his office, and refund any commission paid in excess of the
inland rate, taking the remitter's receipt therefor. The amount
so refunded must be deducted from the total commission at the
end of the Money-order Issued Statement, and be supported
by the remitter's receipt. The Postmaster must be careful in
every case to write against the entry of the order in his Money-
order Issued Statement, and on the relative requisition the
words "Repaid here." If the order for repayment is a money-
order telegram which has not been telegraphed, the telegraph
fee may be refunded and taken credit for in form Acct. 210
and in the Post Office Account under the heading "Telegraph
Credits." If the Money-order Issued Statement has been
forwarded to the Chief Postmaster, or by the Chief Post-
master to the Controller, the repayment must be reported and
a request made for the insertion of the necessary entry.
PAYMENT OF MONEY-ORDERS.
Payment of
ordinary
money-orders.
Exchange
offices in New
Zealand.
63. The Postmaster must not pay a money-order unless he
has received the corresponding advice. (See exceptions in
Rule No. 73.) In the case of money-orders issued outside New
Zealand (the Commonwealth of Australia, the Union of South
Africa, Southern Rhodesia, and the United Kingdom excepted)
no advice should be honoured unless it bears an impression
of the date-stamp of the New Zealand office of exchange.
The exchange offices in New Zealand at which such advices
are examined, date-stamped, and distributed to the paying
offices are--
Chief Post Offices, Auckland and Wellington--
For United States of America (including Hawaii) and
Canada.
Chief Post Office, Auckland--
For Austria, Tonga, Samoa, Fiji.
General Post Office, Wellington--
For all other countries.
Advices posted
direct to paying
offices in New
Zealand.
In the case of money-orders issued in the Commonwealth
of Australia, the Union of South Africa, Southern Rhodesia,
and the United Kingdom for payment in New Zealand, the
relative advices are despatched by the issuing offices direct to
the paying offices; therefore, only the date-stamp impression
of the issuing office will appear on such advices.
Advices to be
examined by
Postmasters
immediately on
receipt.
64. All money-order advices must be examined immediately on their receipt to see that they relate to orders pay-
able at the Postmaster's office, and are in all respects regular,
bear the stamp of the office of issue, and where required the
stamp of the New Zealand exchange office. The advices must
then be stamped by the Postmaster on the back with the date
of receipt, and kept until the corresponding orders are pre-
sented for payment or have become void. (See Rule 97.)
Missent advices.
65. When an advice reaches an office for which it is
not intended, it should be date-stamped on the back and
promptly transmitted to the proper office
