(19.) It is assumed John Thomson Smith and William Jones have
signed before one witness, so the attestation would run :—
“Signed by the above-named John Thomson Smith and
William Jones in the presence of—
“FRANK FISHER,
“Grocer,
“Manners Street, Wellington.”
If William Jones were blind, or unable to read, then
the attestation would be—
“Signed by the above-named William Jones, by setting
his mark hereto, after the above bond was read
over and explained to him, he being blind [or un-
able to read, as the case may be], in the presence
of ”—
[Witness to sign as before.]
(20.) There may be several witnesses to a signature, in which
case each witness signs as shown in the example; but, of
course, one form of attestation is sufficient.
(21.) Except in the case of a company, one witness may attest
all the signatures ; but, if different persons sign in the
presence of different witnesses, there must be a separate
attestation for each person so signing.
(22.) The attestator must in every case be a person not inter-
ested in the contract. This, however, does not include
a Chief Postmaster or other Postal officer, who may, where
necessary, witness signatures to a bond.
(23.) When a limited-liability company executes, the attestation
may be :—
“The common seal of the above-named [Name of com-
pany in full] was hereto affixed in the presence of
us—
“A.B., \\Directors.
“C.D., \
“E.F., Secretary.”
(24.) There may in some cases be variations in the form or
requirements of the execution by a company ; but these
can usually be ascertained from its secretary, who is
necessarily conversant with the practice in this respect.
(II.) Tender:
(25.) To be corrected before Execution of Bond.—As the tender
forms part of the contract, special care should be taken
to insure all the needful particulars being filled in correctly.
If the tender as originally sent in by the contractor be
found to be in any way defective, a new form should be
filled up and signed by him before execution of the bond.
In such cases care is to be taken to see that the date shown
in the bond is not prior to that shown on the tender form.
Similarly, the date of the letter of acceptance must be
subsequent to the date on the tender form and prior to
the date of execution of the bond.
(26.) When the advertisement calling for tenders appears in
a supplement to the New Zealand Gazette, the date and
number of such supplement to be shown in the tender
are the actual date and number of the supplement, not
the date and number of the main Gazette of which it is a
supplement.
(27.) Newspaper in which published.—When the tenders have
not been called for in the New Zealand Gazette, the part
“New Zealand Gazette” should be struck out, and the
