In each week on the appointed day the proper officer shall, without demand, pay to each entitled person all money to which that person has become entitled since the appointed day in the previous week.

(3)

Money paid out of court under paragraph (2) shall be paid by crossed payable order to the person entitled to it or to his solicitor and the proper officer shall, at the same time, furnish him with a statement of the money so paid.
