UEsTAMPEp BANK CHECKS.

Inspection Of the Banks by Revenue Officers.
On January 10, 1874, Mr.. Alex. p. Tuition, super
visor Of Internal revenue, issued an order to the
various collectors under him to make a thoI Ough
examination Of all banks, banking institutions
and other places where money is paid out on
checks for the purpose of ascertaining whether or
not the checks paid by them were properly
stamped and cancelled. Mr.. Thomas L. TullOck,
collector for the District Of Columbia, directed
his three deputies, MessTs. Pearson, Clements
and CrOssman, to make a thorough examination
in obedience OF the above order. They made the
necessary visits, and found that all the checks,
with the exception of those at two banking
houses, were stamped and cancelled, the omissions
being so few as to fully justify Mr. TullOck in
reporting n conformity to the law, and no Wtllful
or Intentional neglect or failure.
Some time since instructions were issued IN
writing, calling attention to the requirements OF
the law in relation to the stamping and cancella-
ton Of checks and q copy Of the same was sent
to the several banking houses and bankers in the
District, which had the desired effect of causing
a general compliance with the law. When Il
leaked out that detectives were abroad looking
for violations Of the law, large orders were re-
ceived tor stamps by Collector TullOck, and when
the examination was made the bankers were pre-
pared 10 receive the detectives by producing
their checks stamped and cancelled.
In all, there were twenty banks and banking
houses examined in the District by the deputies
Of Mr.. TullOck, and in no instance was there
ground for enforcing the law because of violation.
The fine is $50 for each and every case.
