AND ITS PAST CONDITION.
By JAMES WIIITESIDE, A.M., M.R.S.A.,
One of her Majesty's Counsel.
"This valrable and entertaining book is a timely contribution to
our knowledge of Italy."—Examiner.
'• Notwithstanding the number of works on Italy, Mr. Whiteside
has here produced a book of solid information about it—instructive
to the home inquirer and useful to the tourist. It is a book of travels,
with its narrative of movements, descriptions of town and country,
incidents by the way, pithy conversations, and sketches of society.
Mingled with this are graver matters.".— Spectator.

(Publisher in Ordinary to her Majesty).

BILLS for SEAMEN'S WAGES.
It has come to the knowledge of the Commissioners of Stamps
and Taxes that it is the practice of Shipmasters and others connected
with the hiring of Sailors, to issue, upon Unstamped Paper, what are
termed " Advance Notes," that is to say, an order to pay the Sailor
hired a sum of Money (provided he sails by the ship named) in a cer-
tain number of days after the sailing of the vessel. This Bill .is en-
dorsed by the Sailor.

By the Stamp Act, all such orders for sums amounting to 21. or
upwards, are liable to the Stamp Duty on Bills of Exchange, and a
Penalty of 50/. Is imposed on any person who shall make, sign, or
issue, or cause to be made, signed, or issued, or shall accept or pay,
or shall cause to be accepted or paid any such Bill of Exchange or
Order not duly Stamped.
Notice is hereby given, that it is the intention of the Commimion-
ors to prosecute for the penalty in question all persons who shall be
found to Issue Bills of this description not duly Stamped, and that
persons giving information of such evasions will be rewarded from
any penalties which may be recovered.
By order of the Board,
THOMAS KEOGH, Assistant Secretary.
