: Repayment of orders at issuing office.]

Parties obtaining money orders on Canadian offices can procure repayment
thereof on presentation of the orders at the office at which issued,
signing the receipt at the foot. No order, however, can be repaid
without the authority of the superintendent, unless presented for
repayment on the day on which it is issued. Neither can orders on the
United Kingdom be repaid without his special authority.

[Sidenote: Orders on United Kingdom can be paid through a bank.]

When a remitter desires an order on the United Kingdom to be paid
through a bank, it is left to his option to give or withhold the name of
the payee, or to substitute for the name of the payee any other
designation or modification, such as "the Cashier of the Bank of
England," "the Chief Clerk of the Foreign Office." Such orders must,
however, be crossed by the issuing postmaster with the name of bank
through which the order is to be paid.

[Sidenote: No credit allowed.]

The issue of money orders on credit, or for cheques not marked "good" by
the bank drawn upon, is strictly prohibited.

If a payee is unable to write, he must sign the receipt at the foot of
the order, in the presence of the paying postmaster, by making his mark,
to be witnessed in writing; as, for example:--
His
<i>Witness,--John Kenny,</i> <i>Joseph</i> X <i>Allen</i>.
<i>Queen Street, Toronto</i>. Mark.

[Sidenote: Order of payee in favor of second person.]

In cases of money orders issued in Canada, postmasters are at liberty to
accept the written order of the payee on the order itself in favour of a
second person, if through illness or insuperable difficulty the payee is
prevented from presenting the order in person.

[Sidenote: Lost orders.]

When a Canadian money order has been lost, either by the remitter or
payee, the circumstance must be made known to the superintendent, who,
under certain precautions, will issue a duplicate.

[Sidenote: Duplicates of British orders.]

Duplicates of sterling orders can only be granted by the paying country.
Thus the British post office issues duplicates of orders drawn in Canada
on the United Kingdom, and the Canadian Head Money Order Office grants
duplicates of orders drawn in the United Kingdom on Canada.

[Sidenote: Lapsed orders.]

Money orders which are not presented until one full year after their
