TO TEE EDITOR OF THE iSUN.

Slll,-1 have observed it stated lately in two of your
newspapers that checks payable to bearer can only be
drawn upon bankers within 10 miles of the place where
issued. It was so by the Stamp Act of 11th July, 1315
(55 Geo. 111., cap. 184) ; but if you refer to the
amended act of 15th July, 1828 (9 Geo. IV., cap. 49,
sec. 15), you will find that the distance is there extended
to 15 am, Sir, yours, &c.,

former opened at I,ooo's to 60, and closed'at 12 to 1,

13 to 1. 15,000 to 1,000 was taken about Angelo in one

for 1751. at 13 to 1, but her position was evidently some-
