This document contains in addition
to PROMISE TO pay u Tower OF attorney
and waiver OF exemption rights on
execution. The whole paper is usually
called Judgment note. and sometimes
a single bill or bill obligatory.
1t lie said ny Daniel OH Negotiable
Instruments Vol. /, p, 2s that I'll a
seal be affixed To u paper in the ordi-
nary form of a note that its character
as such is destroyed; it is thereby con-
yerted into tho deed OF bond OF the
maker who is then termed the obli-
aor;' and Bouyier's Law Dictionary
defines q bill obligatory as "a bond
absolute for the payment of money" !"
This was undoubtedly so at common
law but 1T is believed that the strict
ness of this doctrine has yielded 20
commercial usage, . and is no longer
common to regard promissory note
under seal as a bond. Untler the act
of Juily ist, 1862, this Office ruled that
a bill single or bill obligatory ie..
An instrument in tho form of a prumis-
sory note under al-was taxable at
the same rate as other promssory
notes, and after review OF 4 tho
facts, | have arrived at the conclusion
that it, was not tho intention OF tne
lawmakers to Tux promissory notes
under seal other than as ordinary
rromissory notes not under seal, and it
Is so rulod.
The above instrument is. therefore,
taxable at the rate Of two cents for
each 500 or fractional part thereof,
and in addition thereto requires %
cent stamp for the power OF attorney
embodied therein.

Something In the Water.

From Law Notes: About quarter
Of a century ago, writes a correspond
ent from Forth Worth, Texas. l wit
messed trial in which man living
on a certain creek sought divorce from
his helpmeet on what the newspapers
usually refer to as the statutory
ground" The testimony developed
that this was the second unfortunate
marital experience which had come to
the plaintiff while living on that creek,
he having dismissed by law a former
life partner for the same offense. The
judge in granting the decree remarked
to the plaintiff: 4 think you had
better move away from that creek;
there seems to be something in the
water"
