BILL, NOTE, AND RECEIPT STAMPS.
CHANGE OF DIES.
STAMPS AND TAXES, OCT. 11, 1833.
THE COMMISSIONERS of STAMPS
do hereby give Notice, in pursuance of an Act of
the last Session of Parliament (3 and 4 William IV. cap.
97), that they have determined to discontinue the use of
all and every the Dies at any time heretofore provided and
used for denoting or marking the Stamp Duties, now by
law payable for or in respect of the several matters and
things following, (that is to say) Bills of Exchange, Pro-
missory notes, (except Bankers' re-issuable notes for sums
not exceeding 101.) and Receipts given for or upon the
payment of Money, and that they have provided New
Dies to be used for denoting or marking the Duties afore-
said, in lieu of the said Dies, whereof the use is intended
to be discontinued. And the said Commissioners have
axed and appointed the Thirtieth day of November next
ensuing as the Last Day for engrossing, writing, or print.
ing any Bills, Promissory Notes, (except Bankers' re-
issuable Notes, such as before mentioned,) or Receipts,
upon the payment of money, upon Stamped Paper, with
any of the said Dies, of ss hich the use is so intended to be
discontinued; and they have also directed and declared,
that from and after the said 30th day of November, the
said New Dies, so provided as aforesaid, shall be the only
true and lawful Dies for denoting the Duty upon or in
respect of Bills of Exchange, Promissory Notes, (except
such as before mentioned,) or Receipts for Money, and
any such Documents which may, after the said 30,h
November next, be written upon Paper not Stamped
with the s4id New Dies will, in point of law, be con,i-
dered as written on unstamped paper.
The new Dies are respectively appropriated to Bills of
Exchange, Promissory-notes, and Receipts, by having the
words " Bill or Note," or the word " Receipt," on the
face thereof, and the impressions of all such new Dies may
be distinguished from the impressions of any Dies heretofore
provided and used, by having also on the face thereof cer-
tain Figures intended to denote the date of such impres-
sions respectively.
All persons who have in their possession any Stamps
for Bills of Exchange, Promissory notes, or Receipts,
which will he rendered useless by reason of the providing
of the said new Dies, will be entitled to have impressions
of the said new Dies in lieu of, and to an equal amount
of such use'ess Stamps, on the latter being presented at
the Head Office for Stamps, in Westminster or Edinburgh,
at any time within three calendar months next after the
said 30th day of November.
The public are particularly cautioned against using any
of the old stamps for Bills of Exchange or Promissory-
notes after the 30th of November next, as such instru-
ments would be wholly void and useless, the Commis•
sioners being prohibited from stamping a Bill or Note after
the making thereof, under any circumstances whatever.
By Order of the Board,
CHARLES PRESSLY, Secretary.
