A.N KERS' DRAFTS.

Inland Revenue, Scmerset-house, 22d May. 1858.
FROM the extreme pressure existing at this
Department in consequence of the vast number ofdraft books
sent in to be impressed with stamos, and from other circumstances,
it would seem that an impression pre ails that inconvenience to the
public will arise if stamped draft hooks cannot be procured by
Bankers and supplied to t .eir customers by the time at which the
duty becomes p tyabla This, however, is an erroneous Impression,
as any person may affix to a draft The adhesive stamp provided fora
" draft on demand or vezeipt." which is equally applicable to a
Ranker's,draft as the impresse stamp. No inconvenience can there-
f re be exp -rienced by any person drawing checks, as the adhesi:e
stamps cmi be procured from any et the numerous licen•el vendors
of stamps, or from the distributo• s and sub-distributors of stamps
throughout the country. THOMAS KEOGH, Secretary.
