NEV STAMP DUTIES.
STAMP-OFFICE, SEPTEM-BER 2C, 1811 R.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, That by an
Act passed at the close, of the late Session of Parliament,
the S..uup Duties on Deeds, Law Frorerdings, and other written
Instruments, and the Duties on Legacies and Successions to Per-
t insl. Fsmte orbit intestacies, now payable in(;rent Britain, are
repealed, icons end after the loth day of October next, and other
Duties are Le -sited in lieu thereof, to commence immediately after
that day.
The New Duties arc of thelike nature,and in eeneral of the time
amount, with the present Duties ; but a snore precise and accurate
desiription is given of the Instruments on which they attach. 1 here
are sonic Duties altogether r e.e, and some new in amount; of which
tho principal ones are, ad -:.::urns Duties on Conveyances uptm the
sale of any Property, according to the amount of the Purchase-
!stoney; increasni Du ies on Promissory Notes allowed to be re-
' issued ; and a Duty on I.ic mces to be tn's en out yeaey by Bankers
and others issuing such Promissory Notes. There is also a Duty
on Policies of lestiranee on Lives, and on three or four law Pro-
ceedings, not now thug: 4. The Duties on Mortgges for small
Sums, and on Conveyances on the sal:: of Property of small value,
aro less than a: present. Tne Dates are contained in a Schedule,
in which tha Instruments ch::rged arc classed, and alphabetically
arratved, with numerous references, so as to afford a complete
Table of Duties, in the raost convenient and practiearforrn; and
to supersede the necessity of those Compilations to which the
Profession of the Law, and the Public, have hitherto found it
expedient to retort. The Schedule is also framed so as not to
a Imit of an Abridgement that can .he safely relied upon. The
Commissioners therefore recommend it to the Profession, and
others whom it may concern, to look only to the Schedule itself.
The Act contains special Provisions for securing the Duties on
Conveyances on the Sale of Property, on Bills of Exchange, and
Drafts on Bankers post dated, or issued beyond ten miles from
Ithe Banker's residence, and on Instruments relating to Copyhuld
P.statc s, Nellie% the Commissioners recommend to the notice and
at .e: tun of Purchasers and Sellers, At turnies, Solicitors, Bankers,
Stewards of Minors, and others, that they may not incur Penal-
ties, which it will be the duty of the Commissioners to enforce.
The Provisions respecting Drafts on Bankers take effect after One
Month from the passing of the Act.
