Regulations Relating to Commonwealth Government Inscribed Stock.
Short Title.
1. These Regulations may be cited as the Commonwealth Inscribed Stock Regulations.
Commencement of Regulations.
1a. These Regulations shall come into operation on the first day of January, One thousand nine hundred and twenty.
Repeal.
1b. The regulations (Statutory Rules 1917, No. 36, Statutory Rules 1917, No. 122, and Statutory Rules 1919, No. 97) are hereby repealed as from the date of coming into operation of these Regulations.
Interpretation.
In these Regulations, unless the contrary intention appears—
“Registry” means a Registry for the inscription of stock.
“Registrar” means a Registrar of Stock or a Deputy Registrar of Stock.
“Stock” means Commonwealth Government Inscribed Stock.
“Bond” means a Treasury Bond issuable under the Commonwealth Inscribed Stock Act 1911-1918.
“Owner” means an owner of stock, or owners of stock in a joint account.
Registries.
A Registry for the inscription of stock is hereby established at each of the following places, namely, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, and Hobart.
4. Each Registry shall be open for the transaction of business daily from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. except on Saturdays, when the hours of business shall be from 10 a.m. until noon.
Forms.
Where in these Regulations any reference is made to a form, the reference shall be to the appropriate form in the Appendices. Forms to the like effect may be used on the approval of the Secretary to the Treasury.
Forms of application and similar forms may be obtained at any Registry by personal, or will be sent on written, application to the Registrar.
A stock of all forms shall be kept by each Registrar, who shall apply for them, in accordance with Form 1, to the Registrar at Melbourne.
Applications for Stock.
Where stock is to be sold the following provisions shall apply—
(a) An application to purchase stock, excepting where made on a form accompanying a prospectus calling for subscriptions by public tender, shall be in accordance with Form 2. Form 2 (a) is to be used by returned soldiers in making application to purchase stock out of deferred pay due to them.
(b) The application shall be accompanied by the purchase-money, together with any premium and accrued interest to the date of purchase. In the case of a joint account the application shall set forth the names in the order in which they are to appear in the Stock Ledger.
(c) Upon receipt of the application and purchase money a receipt in accordance with Form 3 shall be issued by the Registrar.
(d) A return, in accordance with Form 4, of stock sold shall be forwarded daily to the Secretary to the Treasury.
Inscription of Stock.
9. (1) At each Registry there shall be kept a Stock Ledger in accordance with Form 5, in which shall be inscribed the name of each owner, and the amount of stock owned by him. Such ledger may be kept in loose-leaf system.
(2) The Registrar or other duly authorized official shall initial all entries in the Stock Ledger as evidence of their correctness.
Except with the approval of the Treasurer stock shall be inscribed or remain inscribed only in sums of One hundred pounds or in sums which are multiples of Ten pounds where the amount inscribed is in excess of One hundred pounds.
In cases where a Scrip Certificate to Bearer has been issued in connexion with any loan raised by the Commonwealth by public tender, the holder of such Scrip Certificate may, upon application to a Registrar, have the principal sum inscribed in the Stock Ledger in such name or names as he directs, provided all instalments payable under such Scrip Certificate have been duly paid.
Stock may be inscribed in the name of one or more persons not exceeding four, and the full name, address, and description of each must be given.
13 (a) Stock may be inscribed in the name of a minor solely, and a minor may transfer such stock, provided that if the minor has not attained or appears to the Registrar to have not attained the age of fourteen years, such stock shall not be transferred nor Treasury bonds issued in exchange without the consent of the minor’s guardian. Bonds issued in exchange may be delivered by the Registrar to such guardian, whose receipt shall be a valid discharge.
Trusts shall not be recognised. Executors, administrators and trustees shall not be registered as such, but in their individual names without reference to any trusteeship.
(1) Stock may be inscribed in the name of a registered company or other corporation, but the Registrar must first be furnished with a copy of the Certificate of Incorporation or special Act of Parliament under which such corporation is established, together with a certified specimen of the seal of the corporation, and a duly authenticated copy of any Regulations governing the mode of affixing the seal.
(2) Transactions in respect of stock in the name of a corporation may be effected if the prescribed form or a general power of attorney authorizing some person to act for the corporation has been sealed in the proper manner.
(1) On the marriage of a female who is the owner of stock her name and description shall be altered in the Stock Ledger with respect to stock standing either in her name solely, or jointly with any other name, on lodgment with the Registrar of a request, in accordance with Form 7, signed by her, stating the name in full of her husband, and setting forth particulars of the stock concerning which it is desired to have the alteration made.
(2) A copy of the certificate of registration of her marriage under the hand of the proper State officer shall accompany the request, together with such particulars as the Registrar deems necessary.
(3) Notification of the alteration shall be made in accordance with Form 8.
17. In the event of stock being inscribed incorrectly owing to a mistake in a request for inscription or transfer, the account may be amended by a letter or declaration as the case requires, stating how the error arose, and, in the event of an alteration of any name or names, a request from the transferor in the original transfer shall be required by the Registrar.
(1) The Registrar shall take such steps as are necessary to immediately secure, either by post or personally, specimen signatures of all stock owners.
(2) As far as practicable the signing of documents by owners of stock shall take place in the Registry, otherwise the Registrar must be satisfied as to the genuineness of signatures before allowing registration to be made. The genuineness of signatures may be tested by comparison with signatures on application or other forms. Specimen signatures obtained by post must be witnessed by a credible person, and their genuineness tested as provided in this regulation.
19. An owner or part owner of stock shall be at liberty at all reasonable times to inspect his account of stock in the Stock Ledger, upon application in accordance with Form 10.
In order to record the total amount of stock inscribed in the Stock Ledger in the Registry, the Registrar shall keep a Sales and Transfer Book in accordance with Form 11, in which shall be entered the amount of all sales to original purchasers (whether by public tender or otherwise), the amount of all transfers and transmissions to other persons, the amount of all exchanges of stock for bonds, or vice versâ, and the amount of all transfers from or to another Registry.
All entries made in the Sales and Transfer Book shall be numbered consecutively, beginning on 1st July in each year, corresponding numbers being placed on the forms from which the entry is made. The forms from which entries are made shall be carefully preserved.
Stock Certificates.
The Registrar shall upon request in accordance with Form 12, or to the like effect, issue a certificate in accordance with Form 13 of the proprietorship of the stock. Such request may be signed by, and the certificate issued to, a person on behalf of the owner if approved by the Registrar.
Transfers and Transmissions.
(1) Transfer of stock may be made from one person to another.
(2) The transfer and acceptance shall be in accordance with Form 15, and shall be fully signed, and, in the case of a corporation, properly sealed, by both the transferor and the transferee, each of whom shall be notified, in accordance with Forms 16a and 16b, of the completion of the transaction.
(3) In the case of a joint account, it shall be sufficient if the first inscribed owner is so notified.
Applications for transfer of stock from one Registry to another shall be made in accordance with Form 17.
(1) When any stock is transferred from one Registry to another Registry, the Registrar of the Registry from which the stock is transferred shall forward to the Registrar of the Registry to which the stock is transferred advice, in accordance with Form 18, of the transfer of the stock, together with specimen signatures of the owner or owners and shall forward to the owner a notification, in accordance with Form 19, that steps have been taken to make the transfer.
(2) The Registrar forwarding the advice shall see that its receipt is promptly acknowledged, and shall make a note of its receipt in the “remarks” column of the Stock Ledger.
(1) If any stock has become transmitted in consequence of the death, bankruptcy, or insolvency of any owner, or for any other reason, the application for transmission shall be authenticated by a declaration in writing, in such manner as the Registrar requires, and shall be verified by probate of will, letters of administration, or an office copy of the adjudication or order of sequestration or vesting order, as the case may be.
(2) Applications for the transmission of stock shall be made in accordance with Form 20.
(3) Upon the transmission having been duly made, the Registrar shall forward to the person making the request for transmission a notice to that effect in accordance with Form 21.
On the decease of an owner in a sole account, his death shall be registered on production to the Registrar of probate of will or letters of administration, and, if required by the Registrar, a declaration by some disinterested person, approved by the Registrar, as to the identity of the deceased as the owner.
On the decease of one of the owners in a joint account, the death may be proved by production of probate of will, letters of administration, or certificate of death, and, if required by the Registrar, by a declaration by some disinterested person approved by the Registrar as to the identity of the deceased as the owner.
On completion of the proof of death in a joint account the stock and dividends thereon will be registered in the name of the survivor or survivors.
On the decease of the last survivor in a joint account the death must be proved, as in the case of an owner on sole account, and steps taken to inscribe the stock in the individual name of the executor or administrator of the last survivor. If, however, the stock can be transferred immediately to a beneficiary, or some other person entitled thereto, upon the decease of the last survivor, such transfer may be made direct upon the authority of the executor or administrator, the transaction being carried out in accordance with Forms 14, 15, 16a, and 16b.
All probates, letters of administration and copies of adjudications or orders of sequestration or vesting orders must be exhibited at the Registry for scrutiny at least two clear days before the stock affected by them can be dealt with, and they shall be forwarded to the Commonwealth Audit Officer in the State concerned for notation before they are returned to the persons by whom they were produced.
The Registrar shall require the signatures of persons who claim transmission of stock by virtue of their appointment as executors, administrators, or trustees, to be verified to his satisfaction. This should be done by a disinterested person, approved by the Registrar.
Registration will not be made of any applications for transfer received within fourteen days prior to the date on which interest is due, nor during one calendar month immediately preceding the date of maturity of stock.
Except with the approval of the Treasurer transfers of stock shall only be made for an amount of £100, or a multiple of £10, where the amount to be transferred exceeds £100.
Payment of Interest.
The balance for the payment of interest on stock shall be struck fourteen days before interest becomes due.
(1) Interest shall be paid by interest warrant in accordance with Form 23.
(2) Unless otherwise requested, warrants shall be transmitted by post to the owner, or the owner whose name in a joint account is first inscribed in the Stock Ledger.
(3) Upon a request in accordance with Form 24 to the Registrar, the interest may be paid into any banking account including a Savings Bank account.
If a request in accordance with Form 26 is made by the owner, or, in the case of a joint account, by all the owners or by the owner whose name is first inscribed, interest warrants may be transmitted by post by the Registrar to any person, a specimen of whose signature shall be supplied to the Registrar.
All interest warrants will be drawn to order, and must be signed by the payee before payment.
In the absence of any notification to the contrary, it will be taken for granted that interest warrants sent by post have duly reached their destinations. When they are not received on the correct day, notice should be sent to the Registrar without delay.
Unless withdrawn by written request, instructions to transmit warrants by post, or to pay to credit of account in a bank, will remain in force, although the stock may have been added to, or a part sold.
(1) Any change of address of the person to whom the warrants are sent should be notified at once to the Registrar.
(2) When any such notification (which should contain the name and amount of the stock) reaches the Registrar less than fourteen clear days before the next interest is due, the Registrar cannot undertake to record it until after the payment of the next interest.
Interest on stock inscribed in the name of an infant, or in the name of a person of unsound mind, jointly with others not under legal disability, may be paid as directed by the owners, other than those under a disability, in such account, and without the concurrence of the infant or person of unsound mind, upon sufficient proof of legal disability being lodged with the Registrar.
44a. Interest on stock inscribed in the name of a minor solely shall be paid as directed by him, provided that if the minor has not attained or appears to the Registrar to have not attained the age of 14 years, interest may be paid at the discretion of the Registrar to the minor's guardian, whose receipt shall be a valid discharge.
If interest is payable to a bank account, or to a person other than the owner, or other than the first-named owner in a joint account, a note is to be made in the “Remarks” column of the Stock Ledger.
All authorities for the payment of interest are to be filed by the Registrar.
Issue of Bonds in Exchange for Stock.
(1) Upon application in accordance with Form 27 for the issue of bonds in exchange for stock, the Registrar shall debit the account concerned in the Stock Ledger, and issue bonds of the same currency and rate of interest, and for the amount of stock debited.
(2) A receipt for the bonds, if handed over at the Registry, shall be given at foot of the application.
Before handing over the bonds the Registrar shall cause the overdue interest coupons to be cut off and cancelled.
The coupons, accompanied by a return in duplicate in Form 27a, shall be forwarded by registered letter to the Secretary to the Treasury at the close of each month. After being checked the duplicate return shall be forwarded to the Auditor-General.

Bonds shall not be issued in exchange for stock in cases where the stock is inscribed in the name of an infant or in the name of a person of unsound mind, jointly with others not under legal disability.
Inscription of Stock in Exchange for Bonds.

59a. Treasury bonds may be purchased by a minor solely and his receipt for the bonds shall be a valid discharge. If the minor has not attained or does not appear to the Registrar to have attained the age of 14 years, the Registrar may deliver the bonds to the guardian of such minor and the receipt of such guardian shall be a valid discharge.
Powers of Attorney.
(1) Forms of Power of Attorney, which shall be in accordance with Forms 39 and 40, shall only be supplied to an owner of inscribed stock or some other person on behalf of such owner approved by the Registrar, and upon application in accordance with Form 38, and in the case of a joint account must be signed by all the owners, and the execution duly attested in accordance with the instructions printed on the Power of Attorney forms.
(2) In the case of a corporation, forms of Power of Attorney may be issued upon application being made in writing by the chairman, secretary, or manager of the corporation.
Where a Power of Attorney is not in accordance with Form 39 or 40, and contains full power to deal with the sale or purchase of stock, and where, in the opinion of the Registrar, it is inconvenient to obtain a Power of Attorney in accordance with Form 39 or 40 the Registrar may act on the Power of Attorney which is not in accordance with Form 39 or 40, but, in such a case, if the Power of Attorney has been lodged with a State officer, the Registrar may act only after a copy of the Power of Attorney, or extract thereof attested by the proper State officer, has been lodged with the Registrar; or, if the Power of Attorney has not been lodged with a State officer, the Registrar may act only if a copy of the Power of Attorney or an extract thereof, verified by a person approved by the Registrar, has been lodged with the Registrar; provided that in every case where the Power of Attorney is not in accordance with Form 39 or 40, the Registrar shall require a declaration from the attorney that he has not received notice of revocation of such power by death of the owner, or otherwise.
All Powers of Attorney must be left at the Registry for scrutiny at least two clear days before they are to be acted upon, and shall be entered in a Register, which shall be kept in accordance with Form 41.
(1) If satisfied that a Power of Attorney has been properly sealed and executed, and that the signatures thereto are genuine, the Registrar may act upon the authority conveyed therein.
(2) In case of doubt, a notice of dealing, in accordance with Form 42, shall be forwarded by the Registrar to the owner at his registered address, and the Registrar shall not act in such case until he is satisfied that the matter is in order.
All original Powers of Attorney or attested copies or verified copies and extracts as the case may be shall be retained and filed by the Registrar.
General.
The Registrar shall be responsible for the proper carrying out of all the duties devolving upon him under the Commonwealth Inscribed Stock Act 1911-1918, and, under these Regulations, so far as they relate to the Registry under his charge.
It shall be the duty of the Registrar to take steps to secure the safe custody of all books, forms, and other records and Treasury bonds in his charge.
Except as provided in the Commonwealth Inscribed Stock Act 1911-1918, and in these Regulations, no person other than the officers immediately engaged in the work of the Registry shall have access to any of the books, forms, and other records, and all officers are expressly forbidden to divulge any information coming to their knowledge in the course of their duties, except as authorized by the Act mentioned, or by these Regulations, or by the Secretary to the Treasury, or as required by law.
All possible precautions should be taken by the Registrar for the security of the stock to its owner, and to guard against fraud or improper transactions. Erasures must not be made in the Stock Ledger. Errors should be ruled through, and the correct entries made. In all cases of proposed dealings in stock the attendance of the owner at the Registrar's office should, when practicable, be arranged for. The signatures to all forms shall be compared with the recorded specimen.
All forms required under these Regulations to bear the seal of a corporation shall be sealed and witnessed in accordance with the regulations of the company, provided that the Registrar may require proof that any document has been so sealed.
If necessary, arrangements may be made by the Registrar for the delivery through a bank or postmaster of bonds which cannot be handed personally to the owner at the Registry. A receipt shall be obtained and attached to the relative application.
If in cases where the owner is not personally known to the Registrar, or where the Registrar is doubtful as to the genuineness of a signature, or if for any other reason he is not satisfied as to the genuineness of an application or signature a notice of dealing in accordance with Form 42 should be forwarded to the owner by the Registrar, who shall not register the transaction until he is satisfied that the matter is in order.
All books, records, and documents of a Registrar’s office shall be available for inspection, during office hours, by an officer authorized by the Secretary to the Treasury. In all matters relating to the duties of the Registrar, the directions of the Secretary to the Treasury shall be followed.
