The Life Of a Note.

Editor OF The Times Dispatch;
Slr,r-tlt a gives Z &. note on demand.
| when theifstlmp act was In effect, and
did not put a. stamp on the note and
In course Of year = try TO collect this
note from a and put a stamp OH 1t him.
self, can collect the note after two
Years from the time lie tries to collect
It: or how long will 1t take note
Of that character to run out of date?
This query seems to involve two points.
namely;
First, The validity OF the note, iflnot
stamped by A, tho note having been ut
tered during the time that the STAMP
act was In effect with reference to such
Instruments.
Second. The limitation Of an action for
recovery upon such an instrument.
As to the first point. the war revenue
law OF 1893 provides, in section 10:
'"rhat IL any person or persons shall
make, sign or ISSUE or cause to be made.
signed, or issued, or shall accept or pay,
or cause to be accepted or paid, with de-
sign to eyade the payment of any stamp
tax, any bill Of exchange. draft or or
der or promissory note for the payment
oianoney, liable to any OF tho taxes i'm
posed by this act. without the same be.
ing duly stamped, or having tEeyeupon
an adhesive stamp for denotpg tile tax
hereby charged thereon, he, She. or they
shall be deemed guilty OF n misdeneanor.
and, upon conviction thereof, shall be
punished by a fine not exceeding two
hundred, mt the discretion of the court. ~
Whether the failure of a. to STAMP the
nofe, p having stamped 1t, is viola
tion of the law, as laid down In this
section. is legal question, upon which
we are not prepared TO pass Judgment,
but very often such Instruments were
given by one party to another with tho
understanding that the acceptor of the
INSTRUMENT would duly stamp 1t. and lie
there was no design to eyade tile paw
ment Of any stamp tax 1t may be that
tile instrument would he valid.
AS to the limitation of the action by.
y to collect the note from A, it appears :
that u endeaYored to collect this note n
yenr after It was given, and ourfcor-
respondent enquiries IL 1t could DO col
leeted after two years from the time
when that effort was made, which would
be three years from the time that the
note was given. AS an action will lie.
to collect a promissory note at any time
within five years after 1t Is uttered, II
would appear that B was not debarred
from recovery at the end Of three years.
