'STAMP-OFFICE INTERFERENCE.

TO THE STOCKAIVD SHARE BROKERS OF

GENTLEMEN, •
IHAD the honour of waiting on several of your pro-
fession a few days sinne, with the view of consulting
you as to the expediency of my keeping for sale: Stamps
for the Transfer of Shares; and finding I was likely to
meet with every encouragement, as ycu would have greater
facilities for procuring Stamps, (both the Public Offices
being closed at Four o'clock daily, whereas my place of
business will be open till Seven p.m.,) I immediately en-
graved a transfer form, and on Wednesday last, the 21st,
commenced selling Stamps, varying in amount from 10s.
to £l2.

It is probably well known that, in the afternoon of that
day, intimation was given:that the Stamp-office in the Old
Church-yard would be open in future till &yen o'clock,
in place of Four.
Had there been the least indication of such a change in
the regulation of a Public Office, to frustrate the success
of an Individual, I would have paused before engaging in
the business. it being so different from ordinary compe-
tition, that, for instance, of parties engaged in similar
business pursuits, pos3essing the same opportunities of
buying and selling' in such cases an honourable rivalry is
alike beneficial rod legitimate but the present is the
strong Arm of a Government office, made to bear against
the humble exertions of pi irate enterprise; fir, he it re-
membered, there was an existing and acknowledged want
of accommodation, and although it is now removed, I can-
not, without considerable loss, abandon the experiment;
and wive I, there is a possibility of the Stamp-office again
doing me the honour of making a change, and closing, as
heretofore, at Four P.M.

I as i determined, therefore, to give the experiment a
fair trial of twelve months, and should I be fortunate
enough to obtain your countenance, I will continue it.
afterwards.

I earnestly beg you to bear in mind, that had I not en.
tered into this business, the Stamp-office would still be
closed at Four P.M., for it is beyond doubt the three
hours' additional accommodation was given owing to the
movement on my part.

I therefore confidently trust that you will consider tee
in some degree entitled to your support, (for it:is only in
the event of having a large and regular sale that the com-
mission will be sufficient to reimburse me,) and confer
upon the a share of your patronage for Stamps, thereby
allowing me to reap some reward for my trouble.
With this expectation, and to give you every confidence
in my exertions. I have arranged, that shduld my London
supply of Stamps at any time he found inadequate to the
dematid, (a contingency I shall strive to guard against,)
others will be immediately procured from the Office in
Liverpool, and supplied to you at the same price, i.e., no
charge whatever being made beyond the Stamp.
There being an impression that Stamps purchased from
me canuot be so readily exchanged if spoiled, I beg to
assure you I have never heard of such a complaint being
made with regard to Bill Stamps, &c., of which I sell se-
veral hundreds weekly ; and as all Stamps (those for
Newspapers only excepted) are purchased originally from
the Head Office in London, it would be contrary to the
law that any preference sh, uld be shown to Stamps pro-
cured at the Stamp-office here over those of a Licensed
Dealer.

Should a difficulty of this kind occur, I would consider
it very obliging to be made acquainted with the facts.
