Payment By Cheque
Sir,—The Registrar of Births, Deaths, and Marriages in Christchurch refuses to accept cheques in payment of fees. Would it be possible to ask the public relations officer of the Bankers' Association to call on him to explain the use of cheques in modern business transactions, or could one perhaps surmise that the registrar could be happier if payment were made In gold? —Yours, etc., P. J. BRYANT.
April 9, 1968. [The Registrar-General of the Department of Justice (Mr J. L. Wright) replies: “I understand that in the past cheques have been refused in that office and that at one time there was a notice to that effect pasted on the wall. Cheques are acceptable as payment for fees provided that the cheques are made out in the accepted banking practice.”]
