SCHEDULE.

REGULATIONS.

1. In these regulations, if not inconsistent with the con-
   text,—

"Steamship owner" includes a steamship company,
association, or owner of any steamship.

2. Subject as hereinafter mentioned, the stamp-duty pay-
   able in respect of every passenger-ticket given or issued in
   the colony by any steamship-owner shall be denoted by an
   adhesive stamp affixed to such ticket; and every such stamp
   shall be cancelled in the same manner as the stamp upon a
   receipt is for the time being required to be cancelled by law.

3. In any case where the amount of stamp-duty annually
   payable by any steamship-owner in respect of passenger-tickets
   issued in the colony shall exceed by estimation the sum of
   £25, such company may apply to the Commissioner of
   Stamps for permission to pay such stamp-duty annually or
   half-yearly and by way of composition.

4. Every such application shall be accompanied by a state-
   ment in detail showing the number of passenger-tickets (for
   amounts over £2) issued by such steamship-owner during
   the twelve months ending on the preceding 31st December.

Such statement shall be verified by the secretary, manager,
or other chief executive officer of the company, association,
or owner on behalf of whom such statement is lodged:

Provided that in any case the Commissioner of Stamps
may require the owner of a steamship to verify such state-
ment personally.

5. Upon receipt of such application, and upon receiving
   such security as he may require for the due payment of all
   stamp-duty, the Commissioner of Stamps may in his discre-
   tion grant to any steamship-owner a license or permission in
   writing to pay in one sum the amount of stamp-duty exigible
   in respect of all passenger-tickets to be issued during a
   period of twelve calendar months to be specified in such
   license.

6. The form of license granted and of security required
   shall be such as the Commissioner of Stamps may from time
   to time prescribe.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor,
this first day of October, one thousand eight hun-
dred and ninety-one.
