ocee IL should make q note Of the result OF a
trlal which took place in New York the other
cay, and which shows how periIous a thing n
neglect 70 put stamps upon paper which re-
gn're tnem may become. Many persons have
allen INTO the error Of supposing that ia pa
pei not stamped the omission m ay be reeti-
beo q; any time a. very little expense. This 10
nos correct There was provision maze ior
vAboafne unstamped papers, made AND issned
ss1Sre the act Of Is64. upon compiance whn
certain provisions. Similar provision Is maoe
% me amended act OF 1865, upon condlton
mat the party direlict shall pay $50 and In
ts1est AZ per cent. on the stamp, II the cost
Of the latter is more than $50. But IN addition
10 this there is an actual penalty, which may
- enforced against any one who issues IN
stamped paper. Under the act of 1864 IL was
500 in al cases. Under the amended act of
1856 j: remains 81 upon aeeeptors and PAYERS
of foreign bills of exchange without first
stamping the securities: In this case, in New
YORK, the party sued had neglected. before the
passage OF The areaded act of Ie65, 10 afix
stamps upon seven receipts for the payment
Of money. He was sued for the full penalty
IN each case, amounting 10 Sl,ieO IN ali, and
verdict was given against him for the whole
SUM- The stamps wsuld have coet him IA
cents, so that by his saving habits on the occa-
ION referred 70, he is FL, SO sc out of pocket
BESIDES lawyers fees ana costs OF suit. The
example is worry of remembrance. There are
DO duties which devolves upon a citizen which
can be as cheaply discharged as those under
The stamp laws, and few which, IL neglected
may cost a careless person more dearly.
