Present:
His EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by "The Stamp Act, 1875," and "The
Stamp Fee Act, 1875," the Governor is em-
powered by Order in Council to make regulations
not inconsistent with the provisions of the said Acts
for the conduct of all persons concerned in the
carrying the same into effect:
And whereas it is expedient to make special pro-
vision for allowance for spoiled stamps used in pay-
ment of fees under the Land Transfer Act:
Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor, by
and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council of the Colony, in pursuance and exercise of
the above-recited power and authority, doth hereby
make the regulations hereinafter contained, that is
to say,-

If it shall be made to appear to the Commissioner
or a Deputy Commissioner of Stamps, by the certi-
ficate of any District Land Registrar, that stamps in
respect of which allowance is claimed have been used
in payment of fees under the Land Transfer Act, and
that the claimant is entitled to a refund of such fees,
or of any portion thereof, it shall be lawful for the
Commissioner or a Deputy Commissioner to make
such allowance without further evidence.

Such allowance, subject to the usual deduction at
the rate of two and a half per cent., shall be made
by order on the Treasury at any time upon produc-
tion of the certificate aforesaid.

The Commissioner or Deputy Commissioner shall
dispense with the surrender of any document to
which such stamps are affixed, if the District Land
Registrar shall certify that such document is in his
custody, and that it is necessary that the same should
be retained as a record of his office: Provided that
such stamped document shall be produced for the
satisfaction of the Commissioner or Deputy Com-
missioner, and the stamp or stamps thereon shall be
by him cancelled and obliterated.
