COURT OF COMMISSIONERS OF

EXCISE.

IMPORTANT TO AUCTIONEERS.

The Court sat this day to hear what are technically
termed " complaints," or applications from auctioneers
claiming the return of auction duty paid by them to the
revenue on account of sales in which the purchases had
not been completed.
Mr. G•orge Rob ns, the auctioneer, claimed back the
sum of 237/. Ss. hi., the amount of Excise duty paid by
him according to the revenue laws, which compel the duty
to be paid in a certain time after the sale.
From the statement of Mr. Robins, the auctioneer, and
of the solicitor of the vender of the property, it app ared
that in June la.t a freehold estate in Mount-street, West-
minster-road, was sold at the Mart for 5,8251., and the
auction duty of id. in the pound was duly paid thereon.
Subsequently the title to the property was proved to be
defective, and the purchaser relused to complete his pur-
chase, and demanded back the deposit-money. Counsel's
opinion was then taken on the subject, aria it was decided
that there was not a good or legal title to the estate, and
consequently the sale was not completed.
After considerable discussion between Mr. Mayew, the
trdicitor for the Crown, Mr. Robins, and the solicit► r ter
the estate, who produced a number of documents in sni-
p ,rt of the claim, the Hon. Commissioners decided that the
ca e was proved in favour of the applicants. The amount
fought tor was consequently to be returned.
In four other similar cases, where a bad title was proved,
the Court decided in favour of Mr. Robin's ciaigi.
