CONVICTION FOR GIVING A RECEIPT WITHOUT
ot-
STAMP.—A few days ago, at the town police-court, N
tingham, William Bates, a tailor, living in Spaniel-row,
was charged with having, on the 17th July last, offended
against the Inland Revenue laws, by giving a receipt for
a sum of money exceeding 21., without affixing a stamp
thereto. A young man named Frederick Carter proved
having paid to the defendant an account amounting to
21. 13s. 6d. The defendant settled the bill without put-
ting a stamp on it. It was in payment of a coat he had
of Bates. There had been some unpleasantness about
the coat. Mr. Bowley, in defence,
stated that the de-
fendant had put a stamp on at the time the account was
settled, but insinuated that it had been since taken off.
He produced another bill which had had the stamp off,
and which did notleave the slightest trace of having had
one. The magistrates said they considered the charge
proved, and convicted the defendant in the penalty of
51. and 16x. cooto.
