INLAND REVENUE OFFICE, LONDON.
CAUTION.
P!t.AUD on the STAMP REVENUE in the TRINFERS of
SHARES in RAILWAYS and other PUBLIC COMPANIE3.
It being understood that, on the Sale of Shares in Railway, and
other Joint Stock Companies, a practice exists of omitting to state
In the Instrument of Transfer the true sum paid or agreed to be paid
for such Shares, whereby the Stamp Duty payable on such Transfer
is evaded; the Commissioners of Inland Revenue deem it right to
give the following Public Notice, viz.:—
That on the Sale of Property of any kind, it is required by Law
that the full Purchase or Consideration Money which shall be
directly or indirectly paid, or secured or agreed to be paid for the
sane, shall be truly expressed and set forth in words, at length,
in the Deed or Instrument whereby the Property shall be trait.-
terred ; and that in default thereof, both the Purchaser and Seller
incur a penalty of Fifty Pounds and five times the amount of the
Duty evaded by the omission; and that the person employed in
Preparing the Transfer incurs a penalti, of Five Hundred Pounds ;
and if he be an Attorney, Solicitor, or Writer to the Signet, he is, on
Conviction, thenceforth disabled from practising.
That if either of the Parties to the Transfer gives information to the
Commissioners, whereby the Penalty incurred by the other, or the
Quintuple Duty, or any part thereof may be recovered, he is not
only to be indemnified and discharged from his liability, but may be
rewarded, out of the money bo recovered, to such an extent not ex-
ceeding one-half thereof as the Commissioners shall think proper.
That the Purchaser may recover back from the Seller, in an action
at law, so much of the Purchase Money as shall not be set forth in
the Transfer, or the whole thereof, if no part be set forth.
The Commissioners also give notice, that they will liberally reward
Persons who may give them information by means of which any of
Such Penalties shall be recovered.

By Order of the Board,
