payee, and may fill in the name of the money order office at which the amount is to be paid. Even where an order is crossed with a view to the payment through a banker the name of the payee must be filled in.
(c) Except when the order is paid through a banker, the payee must sign the receipt at the foot of the order, and must also fill in the name of the money order office if that has not been already done.
(d) No alteration can be made in the name of the payee, or of the money order office, when once filled in, except by the direction of the Postmaster-General.
10. A postal order presented by or through a banker for payment will not (in the absence of an express arrangement between such banker and the Postmaster-General to the contrary) be paid until after such order has been examined by such officer as the Postmaster-General may from time to time direct.
11.-(a) When a postal order is presented for payment otherwise than through a banker, the postmaster shall ascertain that the receipt for the amount of the order is signed, and may refuse payment until he is satisfied that it is signed by or under the authority of the person ap- pearing to be the payee.
(b) He may also, if the receipt is not signed in his presence, take reasonable means to satisfy himself that the person presenting the order is either the payee or his agent.
(c) He may also require the person presenting the order to sign his name on the order before its payment, although the receipt has been already signed.
(d) Nevertheless, the signature to the receipt shall in all cases be a sufficient authority to the postmaster for the payment of the amount of the order, if that signature purports to be the signature of the payee; and it shall not be necessary to prove that the receipt was signed by or under the authority of the payee.
12.-(a) A postal order may be crossed; it may be crossed generally by the addition on its face of the words "and company," or any abbreviation thereof, between two parallel transverse lines, or of two parallel transverse lines simply; it may be crossed specially by the ad- dition on its face of the name of a banker, in which case the order shall be deemed to be crossed to that banker.
(b) A postal order which is crossed generally may be crossed special- ly.
(c) A banker to whom a postal order is crossed may again cross it specially to another banker as his agent for collection.
