21.An owner or part owner of stock shall be at liberty at all reasonable times to inspect his account of stock in the Stock Ledger, upon application in accordance with Form 8.

Transactions in bonds as provided for in regulation 61 shall also be recorded in the Sales and Transfer Book.

23.All entries made in the Sales and Transfer Book shall be numbered consecutively, beginning on 1st July in each year, corresponding numbers being placed on the forms from which the entry is made. The forms from which entries are made shall be carefully preserved.

Stock Certificates.

24.The Registrar shall upon request in accordance with Form 10, or to the like effect, issue a certificate in accordance with Form 11 of the proprietorship of the stock. Such request may be signed by, and the certificate issued to, a person on behalf of the owner if approved by the Registrar.

(3) The Registrar forwarding the advice shall see that its receipt is promptly acknowledged, and shall make a note of its receipt in the “Remarks” column of the Sales and Transfer Book (Form 9).

27. (1)If any stock has become transmitted in consequence of the death, bankruptcy, or insolvency of any owner, or for any other reason, the application for transmission shall be authenticated by a declaration in writing, in such manner as the Registrar requires, and shall be verified by probate of will, letters of administration, or an office copy of the adjudication or order of sequestration or vesting order, as the case may be.

(2) Applications for the transmission of stock shall be made in accordance with Form 18.

(3) Upon the transmission having been duly made, the Registrar shall forward to the person making the request for transmission a notice to that effect in accordance with Form 19.

28.On the decease of an owner in a sole account, his death shall be registered on production to the Registrar of probate of will or letters of administration, and, if required by the Registrar, a declaration by some disinterested person, approved by the Registrar, as to the identity of the deceased as the owner.

29.On the decease of one of the owners in a joint account, the death may be proved by production of probate of will, letters of administration, or certificate of death, and, if required by the Registrar, by a declaration by some disinterested person approved by the Registrar as to the identity of the deceased as the owner.

30.On completion of the proof of death in a joint account the stock and dividends thereon will be registered in the name of the survivor or survivors.

31.On the decease of the last survivor in a joint account the death must be proved, as in the case of an owner on sole account, and steps taken to inscribe the stock in the individual name of the executor or administrator of the last survivor. If, however, the stock can be transferred immediately to a beneficiary, or some other person entitled thereto, upon the decease of the last survivor, such transfer may be made direct upon the authority of the executor or administrator, the transaction being carried out in accordance with Forms 12, 13, and 14.

32.All probates, letters of administration and copies of adjudications or orders of sequestration or vesting orders must be exhibited at the Registry for scrutiny at least two clear days before the stock affected by them can be dealt with, and after being entered in the Register kept in accordance with Form 50 shall be forwarded to the Commonwealth Audit Officer in the State, or to such person as the Auditor-General may appoint, concerned for notation before they are returned to the persons by whom they were produced.

33.The Registrar shall require the signatures of persons who claim transmission of stock by virtue of their appointment as executors, administrators, or trustees, to be verified to his satisfaction. This should be done by a disinterested person, approved by the Registrar.

33 a.Where the Treasurer is satisfied that stock is inscribed in the name of a person whose property is required by law to be placed in the hands of a Public Curator or other officer charged with the duty of administering the estates of deceased or missing person or persons under disability the Treasurer may, upon receiving such indemnity from the Public Curator or officer as he thinks necessary, transfer the stock to the name of the Public Curator or officer.

34.Registration will not be made of any applications for transfer received within fourteen days prior to the date on which interest is due, or during one calendar month immediately preceding the date of maturity of stock.

35.Except with the approval of the Treasurer transfers of stock shall only be made for an amount of £100, or a multiple of £10 where the amount to be transferred exceeds £100.

Payment of Interest.

36.The balance for the payment of interest on stock shall be struck fourteen days before interest becomes due.

When any such request reaches the Registrar less than fourteen clear days before the next interest is due the Registrar cannot undertake to act thereon until after payment of that interest.

38.If a request in accordance with Form 22 is made by the owner, or, in the case of a joint account, by all the owners or by the owner whose name is first inscribed, interest warrants may be drawn payable to and transmitted by post by the Registrar to any person, a specimen of whose signature shall be supplied to the Registrar.

39.All interest warrants will be drawn to order, and must be signed by the payee before payment.

41.Unless withdrawn by written request, instructions to transmit warrants by post, or to pay to credit of account in a bank, will remain in force, although the stock may have been added to, or a part sold.

42. (1)Any change of address of the person to whom the warrants are sent should be notified at once to the Registrar.

(2) When any such notification reaches the Registrar less than fourteen clear days before the next interest is due, the Registrar cannot undertake to record it until after the payment of the next interest.

44.Interest on stock inscribed in the name of a minor solely shall be paid as directed by him, provided that if the minor has not attained or

appears to the Registrar to have not attained the age of fourteen years, interest may be paid at the discretion of the Registrar to the minor’s guardian, whose receipt shall be a valid discharge.

44 a.In cases where stock is inscribed in the name of a minor jointly with one or more adult persons the interest on such stock may, if the minor has attained the age of fourteen years, be paid to such minor jointly with the adult person or persons in whose names the stock is inscribed. In cases where the minor has not attained the age of fourteen years, or appears to the Registrar to have not attained the age of fourteen years, the interest may be paid to the minor’s guardian jointly with the adult person or persons in whose names such stock is inscribed.

[Back of Form.]

Instructions for Executing Powers of Attorney, which must be Strictly Observed.

1. The date must be inserted at time of execution in words, and not in figures.

2. Each execution must be attested by two credible witnesses, who must state their full addresses and occupations. (In the case of a wife she must give her husband’s name, address, and occupation.)

3. A wife is not a valid witness to any signature, if her husband’s name appears either as stock-owner, attorney, or transferee; nor, in like circumstances, if the name of a wife appears, can a husband be admitted as a valid witness.

4. If clerks or servants are witnesses, they should give the name and address of their employers.

5. Where powers of attorney are executed by more than one person, the subscribed witness must insert in the attestation the name of the parties or party whose execution they attest, and if the parties do not all execute at the same time, and in the presence of the same witnesses, the words “Signed by the said , in the presence of us,” must be repeated in each attestation.

6. When a power of attorney is executed out of the Commonwealth, in addition to two witnesses, the signature must be attested by a British Minister, Consul, Vice-Consul, or other British authority, or by a Notary Public.

7. If it should be necessary for a stock-owner to execute a power of attorney by a mark, instead of by signing his name, each witness must be a person of known position, such as a Minister of Religion, Magistrate, Justice of the Peace, Solicitor, Bank Manager, Member of recognized Stock Exchange, or Medical Practitioner; and the witness must declare in writing that the document has been read over and fully explained to and understood by the stock-owner.

8. Any alteration, interlineation, or erasure made in a power of attorney must be particularly mentioned in the attestation subscribed by the witnesses, and it must be stated to have been done previous to execution.
