agreement is proved by divers letters, a stamp of 35s. on one of them shall be sufficient, is retained. The ad valorem duty charged on various instruments in respect of the value of shares in a company, &c. is regulated, (in other cases than that of a conveyance on a sale), not by the value expressed on the instrument, but by the average price of such shares on the day of the date of the instrument, or on either [any] of the ten days preceding; or if there have not been any known sale on any of such days, then on the latest day preceding on which there shall have been a known sale. Who is the knowing individual whose knowledge is here referred to, and how his knowledge is to be proved on any occasion when the sufficiency of the stamp is disputed, does not appear. In the case of a conveyance, we have not even this mysterious man of information to resort to, but we must ascertain the actual last sale. The duty on a bond or mortgage for securing 507. is 18. 3d.; the duty on a deed of covenant for the like purpose is 358. But if the sum secured exceeds 13007., a deed of covenant is charged with the same duty as a bond or mortgage. A settlement of 7007. only is charged with a duty of 17. 158.; a settlement of 6057. and of trinkets worth 50%. is charged with a duty of 31. 10s.; a lease at a rent of 1., or an assignment of such a lease, is charged with a duty of 18.; a lease of the same value, at a peppercorn rent, or an assignment of such a lease, is charged with a duty of 17. 158. The following letter will shew that there are also inconsistencies in the doctrine of what a former correspondent called "The New Court of Stamp Law at Somerset House:"-] TO THE EDITOR OF "THE JURIST." 9, Lawrence-lane, Cheapside, Jan. 8, 1851. Sir,-As it may be desirable that the practice of the officers at the Stamp-office, with respect to stamps upon assignments of leases, should be generally known, in order that the members of the Profession should be deterred from letting deeds be executed before they are stamped, I proceed to state what has recently happened to me. On the 28th of last month I tendered at the office of the solicitor for stamps, to be marked for stamping, an assignment of leaseholds: the consideration thereby expressed to be paid was 10s. This was at once pronounced to be manifestly a nominal consideration. It was in vain that I stated (as the fact was) that the consideration, although apparently nominal, was not so, but that the assignors, being executors, were actually to account for such consideration, which must, therefore, pass. My offer to pay on that footing was refused. I was told that nothing short of a 35s. stamp would be impressed, the solicitor having determined that a common deed stamp must, in all such cases, be affixed. I refused to consent, intimating my intention to appeal, and brought my deed away unstamped. On reflection, however, I arrived at the conclusion, that submission was the better policy. In case of appealing, a loss must have been suffered of at least 27. 14s. 6d., viz. 10s. for opinion fee, and the 35s. stamp. Accordingly I submitted, and on the next day again sent up the deed, which was marked by the solicitor for a 35s. duty, for which I paid, and it was affixed. On the first of this month I sent up another assignment of leasehold to be stamped. The consideration thereby expressed to be paid was 5s., and was in reality but nominal: it did not, therefore, as in the case of the first-mentioned assignment, pass at all. On this occasion, however, the solicitor marked the deed for a 5s. stamp, which was accordingly paid for and impressed. Now, I must confess that I cannot reconcile these two cases-they pass my comprehension altogether. Generally speaking, there is something like a pretence for the course pursued at the Stamp-office; but in one of the two instances I have mentioned, I cannot perceive, and I think it will puzzle any one else to detect, even the shadow of a pretence. How, in the one case, a consideration of 10s. actually passing should necessitate a common deed stamp of 358., while, in the other case, a consideration of 5s., not paid, required but a 5s. stamp, demands more penetration than has fallen to my share to determine; and I doubt whether others, except they happen to be in Somerset House, will be in any more fortunate condition. I ought not to omit to add, that the rents recited in the assignments as reserved by the leases were respectively as follows-in the first case, 451. per annum, and in the other, 471. 58. Now, the provision in the Stamp Act, under the head "LEASE," is very clear : "LEASE. Any assignment or surrender of a lease or tack upon any other occasion than a sale or mortgage--a duty equal to the ad valorem duty with which a similar lease or tack would be chargeable under this act." Surely, there cannot be a pretence for a 35s. stamp; within four days of the 35s. being required? Whilst but if there be, how came the 5s. stamp to be put on every allowance ought to be made for Government officers, who may err while displaying laudable zeal to protect the public revenue, the public have a right to demand something approaching to consistency, for, otherwise, such decisions as I have instanced savour much of injustice. The Profession must not imagine that protection is ing them, it is pretty evident that the remedy is worse given by the appeal clauses in the late act. On testthan the disease. It is surely much better to leave the authorities at the Stamp-office no option but to take care that deeds are stamped before they are executed. The return of the 40s. deposit, leaving the appellant to pay the 10s. opinion fee, and all other expenses incurred by him, (the Queen paying no costs, however much her officers are to blame), is but small compenI am, Sir, your obedient servant, C.

(being the least that could be given), to say nothing of the trouble. There was also this additional reason-that the deed was one of a set of six entered into under one arrangement, and it required to be registered; it formed the foundation for another of the six, which latter also required to be registered, but of course could not be until that deed on which it was based were registered, and that could not be managed until it were stamped.
