THEY DEAL WITH THE PLACING
OF STAMPS. ON LEGAL DOCU-
MENTS.
Recorder OF Deeds Courtland c. Mont
gOmery has received from Collector
Parlett, Of the Maryland internal reve-
nue. district, the following communlca-
tion: Nr7
"In reply to yours OF the I'd instant,
would advise you that all papers filed
on and after the first Of July, notwith-
standing their date Of execution, will
require a stamp"
Internal Revenue Commissioner Scott
has sent him the following: :
"The certificates Of acknowledge
ments to deeds, mortgages, or other
legal instruments require to be stamp
ed with a ten-cent stamp as a certif-
cate in addition to the stamp provided
by law for the instrument itself. They
are no part OF the execution OF the deed
or mortgage and are not covered by the
stamp required upon such deed or
mortgage. The jurat to an affidavit
does not require to be stamped. The
memorandum on the back Of a deed or
mortgage made by register OF re-
corder that the instrument has been
placed upon record is not subject OF
taxation"
A local attorney expresses the opin-
ion that the ruling in relation to the
certificates OF notaries public also ap-
plies to the certificates OF justices of
the peace which accompany every
transcript Of record in the Superior
Court.

Mr.. Vandegrift wanted to ask the
witness concerning some other conver-
sations which he had with different
people in reference to the matter, but
the defence objected on the ground that
it was not in cross-examination, and
the objection was ustained.
Ezekiel Cooper, Of the Farmers
Bank Of Dover, was called. He was
asked regarding the testimony OF his
bank with a good customer as to pro-
tecting a check for an amount of money
when he has not the funds to pay it?"
IF the customer is a man who has
never given us any trouble, and his
check came in before 3 o'clock, we
would send someone to tell him that
his check had come in. If it was a
good customer it would be paid"
Mr.. ndegrift-''Would you carry
such a check and not let it show?"
IF the check came in the mail and
was opened at o'clock we would take
