GENERAL REMARKS.
Postage stamps cannot be used in payment
of the duty chargeable on instruments revenue
stamps alone can be used.
1t is the duty of the maker of an instrument
to affix and cancel the stamp required thereon,
(by writing with ink on the face of the stamp
the initial letters of his name, date of month and
year.) If he neglects to do so, the party for
whose use it is made may stamp it before it is
used; but in no case can it be legally used with
out stamp; and if fissued after the 30th of June,
1864, and used without stamp, it cannot be
afterwards effectually stamped.
ANY failure upon the part of the maker of an
instrument to appropriately stamp it renders
him liable to penalty of $500:
Where two or more persons join in the exc
cution of an instrument, the stamp to which the
