The applicant, upon depositing a sum, at one post-office, receives a certificate for that amount, which he mails to the payee, who can then obtain the money at the office designated in the order, upon presenting the latter and mentioning the name of his correspondent R. S. §§ 4027- 4048; Suppl. to R. S. p. 165. Under the law of March 3, 1883, it was provided that money-orders should not be issued for a larger sum than a hundred dollars; 1 Supp. R. S. 406; 2 id. 166.
