THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH SEPTEMBER, 1868.
12.-But when it is desired that any error in the name of the Remitter or Payee should be corrected, or that the amount of a Money Order should be repaid to the Remitter, or that a Lapsed Order should be renewed for payment in the Country in which the Order was originally drawn, application must be made to the Chief Money Order Office of such Country. This application must be accompanied by an additional Commission, unless it have reference to a Lapsed Order in which case the Commission will be deducted from the amount of the New Order. 13.-Repayment whether of an original, or renewed, or a duplicate Order, will not be made to the remitter until it has been ascertained, that the advice has been cancelled at the Office on which the Order was originally drawn.
14.-Payment of an Order must be obtained before the end of the Sixth Calendar Month after that in which it was drawn; for instance, if drawn in January, payment must be obtained before the end of July, otherwise the Order will become lapsed, and a new Order (for which a second Commission, to be deducted from the amount of the Order, will be charged) will become
necessary.
15.-If an Order be not paid before the end of the Twelfth Calendar Month after that in which it was drawn,—for instance, if drawn in January and not paid before the end of the following January--all claim to the Money will be forfeited, unless, under peculiar circumstances, the Post Office of the Country in which the Order was drawn think proper to allow it.
16. After once paying a Money Order by whomsoever presented, the paying Office will not be liable to any further claim. If a wrong payment, however, be made owing to negligence on the part of any Officer of the Post Office, the Postmaster General of the Country or Colony in which the negligence occurs will, if he see fit, require the Officer in fault to make good the loss. 17.-No Money Order will be paid unless the advice has been previously received.
18.—Additional Rules for greater security against fraud, and for the better working of the system
generally will be made as occasion may require.
19.-Should it appear that Money Orders are used by mercantile men, or others, either in the United Kingdom or at Hongkong, Shanghae or Yokohama, for the transmission of large sums of money, the British or Colonial Post Office, as the case may be, will consider the propriety of increasing the Commission, and will exercise the power of wholly suspending for a time the issue of Money Orders.

F. W. MITCHELL, Postmaster General.
