GENERAL REMARKS.
Revenue Stamps may be used indiscriminately
upon any of the matters or things enumerated in
schedule B, except proprietary and playing card
stamps, for which special use has been provided
Postage stamps cannot be used in payment OF
tue duty chargeablc on instruments.
1t is the duty of the maker OF an instrument TO
affix and cancel the stamp thereon. Ifhe neglects
to do so, the party for whom it is made, may
stamp it before it is used; and if used after the
30th of July, 1864, and used without stamp, it
cannot afterwards be efectually stamped: Any
failure upon the part of the maker of an instru-
mcnt to appropriately stamp it, renders him liza
bic to penalty of two hundred dollars.
Suits are commenced in many States by other
lication, petition, &c, in which these, as the
original process, severally require stamps
The jurat of an affidavit. taken before Justice
of the Peace, Notary Public, or other office duly
authorized to take affidavts, is held to be a GER
tifcate, and is subject to a stamp duty OF five
cents, except when taken in suits OF legal proceed
ings.
Certificates of loan in which there shall appear
any printed or written evidence of an amount of
money to be paid on demand or at any time de-
slgnatrd, are subject to stamp duty as fromlSory
Notes.
The assignment of a mortgage is subject to the
same duty us that imposed upon the original in
strument; that is to say for every sum of five
hundred dollars any fractional part thereof, OF
the amount secured by the mortgage, at time of
its assignment there must be affixed a stamp or
stamps, denoting a duty of five cents.
When two or more persons join in the execution
of an instrument, the stamps to which this nstru-
ment is liable under the law, may be affixed and
cancelled by one of the parties.
In conveyances of real estate, the law provides
that the stamp affixed must answer to the value
of the estate on interest conveyed
No stamp is required on any warrant OF attor-
ney accompanying bond or note, when such
bond or note has affixed thereto the stamp or
stamps denoting the duty required, and whenever
any bond or note is secured by mortgage, but one
stamp duty is required such papers, such
stamp duty being the highest rates required Tor
such instruments, either of them. In such q
case note or memorandum of the value or de-
nomination
upon the margin or in the acknowledgement of
the instrument which is not stamped.
