Amendment of the Post and Telegraph Regulations.

(Statutory Rules 1913, No. 348, as amended to this date.)

Regulation 282 is amended—

(a) by omitting from sub-regulation (1) thereof all the words after the words “ordinary commission” and inserting the following words in their stead:—“In the case of a telegraph money order issued in the Commonwealth and payable in Norfolk Island, an additional fee of Sixpence shall be charged for delivery”; and

(b) by inserting therein after sub-regulation (1) the following sub-regulation:—

(1a) The remitter must also send by telegraph a notification to the payee advising the latter of the correct amount remitted, and, where necessary, of the name of the office at which the amount is payable, and such telegram must be handed to the officer issuing the money order, who will arrange for it to be transmitted at the same time as the official telegram of advice. The payee will be required to hand such notification, after receipt, to the paying officer to be retained by him. Nothing of a nature which might make the payee desire to retain the message should therefore be inserted therein: Provided that in the case of a telegraph money order issued in the Commonwealth and payable in Norfolk Island, the official telegram of advice only shall be required.
