Lo don, 9th May, 1854.
SUCCESSION DIITY.—The Commissionehrs of
, Inland Revenue have been informed that a misapprehension
'Na in ibme quarters as to ,he effect of the ,accession Duty Act
stos3, some persots conceiving that it only relates to the succes-
w_n to real property, and that money or other personal property
3:,ich is the subject of m ,rriage settlements or other trust deeds, is
within the operation of that Act.
With a view to remove this erroneous impression, the Commis-
. _0
In ners take this mode of acquainting the public that all property
to which such needs relate is subject to the Succession Duties, and
il is
s:,, f every person deriving benefit under any provisions made in
' sash
h deeds upon the death of any other person, and every trustee,
Vardian, committee, tutor, &c &c ,in whom any property or the
vested,'.ist ribution of any property, subject to succession duty, shall be
bound under pe,,alties to give notice to the Commissioners
of Wand and Revenue, or their officers, that such succession has taken
pace.
I?nashall have any pror
r_
_The Board also desire to state that where any two or more per-
sona vested in them jointly, any beneficial
interest, accruing to the survivor or survivors is deemed to be a sue-
cession, and as such liable to duty.
By order of the Board.

JOCELYN, 1,800 tons, another of the flue fleet belonging to the
General Screw Steam Shipping Company, will be despatched with
her Majesty's Mails for Adelaide, Port Philip, and Sydney, on the

-1 U for rapid sailing and runctuality. and as a sister ship to the
Argo, which has made the quickest voyage to and from Australia of
any ship up to this time. The lady Jocelyn has been employ ed
carrying the Mall' to and front England and Calcutta, and after a
I.oYage of about 27,000 miles, calling at s-ven ports outward and
eight homeward, has reached Plymouth two days before her time,
