INLAND REVENUE OFFICE, LONDON.
CAUTION.
FRAUD on the STAMP REVENUE in the TRANSFERS of
SHARES in RAILWAYS and other PUBLIC COMPANIES.

It being 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 deeta it right to
give the following Public Netice, 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 trans-
ferred ; 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 penalty 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 ether 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 eo recovered, to such an extent not ex-
ceeding one-half thereof as the Commissioners shall think proper.
, That the Purdhaser 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,
J. C. FREELING, Secretary.

is now three and a half years since sorely sorelafflicted
with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced no to try
all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could
devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During
ells of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT
and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe
eases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in-
stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment
1,0011 began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since
Which I have bad no return of the complaint.
" I trust you willgive publicity to my case, that suffering humanity
tas7 know him to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease.
" I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant,
" MICHAEL NASMYTIL"

The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's
abet and Rheumatic Pills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted
bead and face, and all analogous complaints.
The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC
FILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have
secured to then a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past
Cr present times. They not only give relief in a few hours. but re-
Store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They
ire equally speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains In the head
or face, and Indeed in every rheumatic or gouty affection : in fact,
such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this
aledicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there is
Scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom but contains many
grateful evidences of its benign Influence.
