[Sidenote: Orders on United Kingdom.]

Money orders on the United Kingdom are drawn in sterling money, and may
be for any sum from one shilling to ten pounds. They must not, however,
exceed the latter amount; but postmasters are at liberty to issue two or
more separate orders for ten pounds each or for any smaller sum.

[Sidenote: Commission on do.]

The rate of commission charged on orders on the United Kingdom, over and
above the currency value of the sterling, is as follows:--

For orders not exceeding L2 sterling 25 cents.
Exceeding L2 and not exceeding L5 sterling 50 "
" 5 " " 7 " 75 "
" 7 " " 10 " $1.

Tables shewing the amount of Provincial currency required for money
orders issued in Canada upon the United Kingdom, in addition to the
commission, and paid for money orders issued in the United Kingdom on
Canada, will be found at pages 41, 42, and 43.

[Sidenote: Printed applications.]

Applicants for money orders should always use the printed application
forms, in which they should fill up the particulars of the order
required. These forms are supplied gratuitously at all money order
offices.

[Sidenote: Full names and residences required.]

The christian and surnames in full, and residences, both of the remitter
and the payee, should be furnished to the issuing postmaster. When a
married woman is either the remitter or payee, her own christian name
should be given, and not that of her husband, thus--"Mrs. Mary Smith,"
not "Mrs. John Smith."

If the remitter or payee be a Peer or a Bishop, his ordinary title is
sufficient. If a firm, the usual designation of such firm will suffice,
such as "Baring Bros.," "Smith & Son," "Jones & Co."

[Sidenote: Orders should be examined.]

Parties procuring money orders should examine them carefully to see that
they are properly filled up and stamped. This caution will appear the
more necessary when it is understood that any important defect in these
respects will throw difficulties in the way of payment.

[Sidenote: Erroneous orders.]

Money orders which, in consequence of misapprehension of the name of the
remitter or place of payment have been erroneously made out, can be
returned to the postmaster, and a correct order given in exchange; a new
commission, however, will be charged on the corrected order.
