11. Except with the approval of the Treasurer stock shall be inscribed or remain inscribed only in sums of One hundred pounds or in sums which are multiples of Ten pounds where the amount inscribed is in excess of One hundred pounds.

In cases where a Scrip Certificate to Bearer has been issued in connexion with any loan raised by the Commonwealth by public tender, the original subscriber, by endorsing such Scrip Certificate, and without signing any form of transfer under these regulations, may, upon application to a Registrar, have the principal sum inscribed in the Stock Ledger in such name or names as are set forth in the endorsement, provided all instalments payable under such Scrip Certificate have been duly paid.

14. Trusts shall not be recognised. Executors, administrators and trustees shall not be registered as such, but in their individual names without reference to any trusteeship.

15.

(2) Transactions in respect of stock in the name of a corporation may be effected if the prescribed form has been sealed in the proper manner, or if a general Power of Attorney authorizing some person to act for the corporation has been duly executed and lodged with the proper State officer, and if an attested copy of such power be deposited with the Registrar.

16.

(3) Notification of the alteration shall be made in accordance with Form 8.

17. In the event of stock being inscribed incorrectly owing to a mistake in a request for inscription or transfer, the account may be amended by a letter or declaration as the case requires, stating how the error arose, and, in the event of an alteration of any name or names, a request from the transferor in the original transfer shall be required by the Registrar.

The genuineness of signatures may be tested by comparison with signatures on application or other forms. Specimen signatures obtained by post must be witnessed by a eredible person, and their genuineness tested as provided in this regulation.

19. 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 10, and upon payment of the prescribed fee.

20. In order to record the total amount of stock inscribed in the Stock Ledger in the Registry, the Registrar shall keep a Sales and Transfer Book in accordance with Form 11, in which shall be entered the amount of all sales to original purchasers (whether by public tender or otherwise), the amount of all transfers and transmissions to other persons, the amount of all exchanges of stock for bonds, or vice versâ, and the amount of all transfers from or to another Registry.

21. 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.

22. The Registrar shall, upon request in accordance with Form 12 by the owner of any stock, issue to him a certificate, in accordance with Form 13, of the proprietorship of the stock.

 

Transfers and Transmissions.

23. (1) Applications for transfer of stock from one person to another shall be made in accordance with Form 14.

(2) The transfer and acceptance shall be in accordance with Form 15, and shall be fully signed, and, in the case of a corporation, properly sealed, by both the transferor and the transferee, each of whom shall be notified, in accordance with Forms 16a and 16b, of the completion of the transaction.

(3) In the case of a joint account, it shall be sufficient if the first inscribed owner is so notified.

24. Applications for transfer of stock from one Registry to another shall be made in accordance with Form 17, and shall be accompanied by the prescribed fee.

25. (1) When any stock is transferred from one Registry to another Registry, the Registrar of the Registry from which the stock is transferred shall forward to the Registrar of the Registry to which the stock is transferred advice, in accordance with Form 18, of the transfer of the stock, together with specimen signatures of the owner or owners, and shall forward to the owner a notification, in accordance with Form 19, that steps have been taken to make the transfer.

(2) 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 Stock Ledger.

26. The fee for transfer of stock from one Registry to another shall be payable at the Registry from which the stock is to be transferred.

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 20.

(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 21.

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, 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 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 solo account, and steps taken to inscribe the stock in the individual name of the executor or administrator of the lost 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 14, 15, 16a, and 16b.

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 they shall be forwarded to the Commonwealth Audit Officer in the State 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, such as the Solicitor dealing with the deceased or insolvent estate.

34. Registration will not be made of any applications for transfer received within fourteen days prior to the date on which interest is due, nor 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.

37. The amounts of interest payable each half-year shall be calculated and set out in accordance with Form 22.

38. (1) Interest shall be paid by interest warrant in accordance with Form 23.

(2) Unless otherwise requested, warrants shall be transmitted by post to the owner, or the owner whose name in a joint account is first inscribed in the Stock Ledger.

(3) Upon a request in accordance with Form 24 to the Registrar, the interest may be paid into any banking account except a Savings Bank account.

(4) A notification in accordance with Form 25 of all amounts paid into a banking account shall be forwarded to the stock owner.

39. If a request in accordance with Form 26 is made by the owner, or, in the case of a joint account, by the owner whose name is first inscribed, interest warrants may be transmitted by post by the Registrar to any other person, a specimen of whose signature shall be supplied to the Registrar.

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

41. In the absence of any notification to the contrary, it will be taken for granted that interest warrants sent by post have duly reached their destinations. When they are not received on the correct day, notice should be sent to the Registrar without delay.

42. 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.

43. (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 (which should contain the name and amount of the stock) reaches the Registrar less than three 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 an infant, or in the name of a person of unsound mind, jointly with others not under legal disability, may be paid as directed by the owners, other than those under

 

a disability, in such account, and without the concurrence of the infant or person of unsound mind, upon sufficient proof of legal disability being lodged with the Registrar.

45. If interest is payable to a bank account, or to a person other than the owner, or other than the first-named owner in a joint account, a note is to be made in the “Remarks” column of the Stock Ledger.

46. All authorities for the payment of interest are to be filed by the Registrar.

Issue of Bonds in Exchange for Stock.

47. (1) Upon application in accordance with Form 27 for the issue of bonds in exchange for stock, the Registrar shall debit the account concerned in the Stock Ledger, and issue bonds of the same currency and rate of interest, and for the amount of stock debited.

(2) A receipt for the bonds, if handed over at the Registry, shall be given at foot of the application.

48. Before handing over the bonds the Registrar shall cause the overdue interest coupons to be cut off the bonds, and burnt in the presence of himself and an Audit Officer. The two officers named shall sign a certificate setting forth particulars of the coupons burnt.

49. A notice in accordance with Form 28 shall be forwarded to the Registrar at Melbourne immediately after the close of each month, of all bonds issued in exchange for stock, together with the certificate, as required by the last preceding regulation.

50. After notation in the General Register of Treasury Bonds the notice, accompanied by the certificate, shall be forwarded to the Auditor-General.

51. Bonds shall not be issued in exchange for stock in cases where the stock is inscribed in the name of an infant or in the name of a person of unsound mind, jointly with others not under legal disability.

Treasury Bonds.

55. Treasury Bonds, with coupons attached, shall be prepared in accordance with Form 32.

56. A General Register in accordance with Form 33 of all Treasury Bonds issued shall be kept by the Registrar at Melbourne.

57. (1) Each Registrar, by means of requisition in accordance with Form 34 to the Secretary to the Treasury, shall keep a stock of bonds of various denominations for issue to the public when required.

(2) A record of such bonds allowing the number, denomination, and date of issue of each bond shall be kept in a Register of Treasury Bonds kept in accordance with Form 35.

(3) The record shall also show whether the bonds were sold to the public or issued in exchange for stock.

58. Where bonds are to be sold, the following provisions shall apply—

(a) Where authority has been given to a Registrar to sell bonds to the public upon direct application instead of after acceptance of a tender publicly called, the required bonds shall be issued upon payment of the purchase money, together with any premium and accrued interest, a receipt for the amount paid being given in accordance with Form 36.

(b) A receipt for the bonds shall be given by the purchaser on the butt of Form 36.

(c) Before issuing any bonds, any overdue coupons should be cut off and destroyed in the manner required by Regulation 48.

(d) A return in accordance with Form 37, setting forth the numbers of bonds, denomination, and total amount of bonds sold under clause (a) of this regulation shall be forwarded daily to the Registrar at Melbourne, who, after notation in the General Register of Treasury Bonds, shall transmit the return to the Secretary to the Treasury.

59. In cases where a Scrip Certificate to Bearer has been issued in connexion with any loan raised by the Commonwealth by public tender, the Registrar shall deliver to the person presenting the scrip certificate Treasury bonds to the amount of the scrip certificate provided that the scrip certificate has been endorsed by the original subscriber and provided further that all instalments payable under the scrip certificate have been duly paid.

Powers of Attorney.

60. (1) Forms of Power of Attorney, which shall be in accordance with Forms 39 and 40, shall only be supplied to owners and upon application in accordance with Form 38, and in the case of a joint account must be signed by all the owners, and the execution duly attested in accordance with the instructions printed on the Power of Attorney forms.

(2) In the case of a corporation, forms of Power of Attorney may be issued upon application being made in writing by the chairman, secretary, or manager of the corporation.

(3) Powers of Attorney for sale or transfer must be for specified amounts of stock, and, if not acted upon within five years of the date thereof, must be confirmed in writing by the owners.

61. Powers of Attorney under these regulations become void by the owners acting personally, and the registration of a subsequent Power of Attorney will cancel any previous Power or Powers of Attorney for sale or transfer that may have been granted although not fully acted upon.

62. Where an owner has appointed an Attorney in general terms, and has given the latter full power to deal with the owner’s affairs, the Registrar may act on the power given provided that the original Power of Attorney has been lodged with the proper State officer, and an attested copy of the Power has been lodged with the Registrar.

63. All Powers of Attorney must be left at the Registry for scrutiny at least two clear days before they are to be acted upon, and shall be entered in a Register, which shall be kept in accordance with Form 41.

64. (1) If satisfied that a Power of Attorney has been properly sealed and executed, and that the signatures thereto are genuine, the Registrar may act upon the authority conveyed therein.

(2) In case of doubt, a notice of dealing, in accordance with Form 42, shall be forwarded by the Registrar to the owner at his registered address, and the Registrar shall not act in such case until sufficient time has elapsed for a reply to be received.

70. It shall be the duty of the Registrar to take steps to secure the safe custody of all books, forms, and other records and Treasury bonds in his charge.

71. Except as provided in the Commonwealth Inscribed Stock Act 1911-1915, and in these Regulations, no person other than the officers immediately engaged in the work of the Registry shall have access to any of the books, forms, and other records, and all officers are expressly forbidden to divulge any information coming to their knowledge in the course of their duties, except as authorized by the Act mentioned or by these Regulations, or by the Secretary to the Treasury, or as required by law.

72. All possible precautions should be taken by the Registrar for the security of the stock to its owner, and to guard against fraud or improper transactions.

The signatures to all forms shall be compared with those in the Signature Book.

 

73. (1) All forms required under these regulations to bear the seal of a corporation shall be sealed at the office of the company in the presence of the Registrar, or an officer appointed by him for the purpose. In places other than State Capitals an officer of a bank, or of the Commonwealth or State Public Service, may be so appointed.

(2) The forms referred to need not be sealed in the presence of the Registrar or an officer as required by this Regulation if the corporation has, in the presence of the Registrar or the officer, signed and sealed a document setting forth the names of the persons who are authorized to sign in conjunction with the sealing of documents of the corporation, and certifying that specimen signatures (which shall be inscribed on such sealed document) are the signatures of the persons so authorized to sign. The document so sealed shall be pasted in the Signature Book (Form 9) by the Registrar.

76. In all matters relating to the duties of the Registrar, the directions from the Treasury shall be followed.

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, 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.
