Caution.
THERE being reason to believe that Merchants,
Storekeepers, and others frequently render
themselves liable to penalties under Section 95 of
"The Stamp Act, 1875," owing probably to a mis-
apprehension of the provisions of Section 94 which
defines the term "receipt," the public is hereby in-
formed that whenever any acknowledgment (signed
or not signed) of any sum of two pounds and
upwards is made, whether such acknowledgment be
for cash received or by contra account, whether for
a Bill of Exchange or Promissory Note, or on final
settlement of a debt amounting to two pounds and
upwards paid by instalments of sums under two
pounds, and whether such acknowledgment take the
form of an ordinary receipt, or merely that of an
entry in cash-book, ledger, or other book, or of any
other form whatsoever which signifies or imports any
such acknowledgment, a stamp of the value of one
penny should be affixed and duly cancelled.
Every person who writes or signs, or causes to be
written or signed, any such receipt or acknowledg-
ment, unless the same be duly stamped, is liable to a
penalty of ten pounds; and a like penalty is imposed
upon every person who refuses to give a duly stamped
receipt, or who gives a receipt for an amount less
than that paid, or who separates or divides the
amount paid, with intent to evade the duty.
R. C. HAMMERTON,
Secretary for Stamps.
