Hi, Adrien. This appears to be a response to my last comment but I think it was intended for Chris Green, as you and I appear to be in agreement in wanting to mirror what actually happened. UK banks supply “Bank Giro Credit” books, sometimes free-standing, sometimes forming a section at the back of a cheque book. There is a tear-off slip for the details of the deposit and a counterfoil - both identically serial-numbered - and the bank tears of the clip then stamps and returns the counterfoil as a receipt. For paying-in slip read Bank Giro Credit slip - or deposit slip as you describe it.
