In the matter of a parcel of land, being part of Allotment 20,
Section 15, City of Auckland—bounded on the north by
Allotment 21, 108ft.; on the east by Elliott Street, 28ft.;
on the south by other part of said Allotment 20, 108ft.;

WHEREAS the Public Trustee has been made aware of
the above-described land having no known owner,
and he, having made reasonable inquiry, can discover neither
the owner nor any agent for the said land, nor any objection
to the said land being declared subject to the above-named
Act:

Now this is to give notice to all whom it may concern
that, unless on or before the 30th day of April, 1894, the
owner of the above-described land establishes his title
thereto to the satisfaction of the Supreme Court or any
Judge of such Court, the Public Trustee will take the steps
prescribed by "The Land Transfer Act, 1885," to be regis-
tered as the owner of such land.

Dated this 2nd day of August, 1893.
J. K. WARBURTON,
Public Trustee.

Acknowledgments of Sums of £2 and upwards must be
stamped.

Head Office, Stamp Department,
Wellington, 4th July, 1893.

CAUTION.—There being reason to believe that mer-
chants, storekeepers, and others frequently render
themselves liable to penalties under section 123 of "The
Stamp Act, 1882," owing probably to a misconception of
the provisions of section 121, which defines the term
"receipt," the public is hereby informed that whenever any
acknowledgment (signed or not signed) of any sum of £2 and
upwards is made, whether such acknowledgment is for cash
received or by contra account, whether for a bill of exchange
or promissory note, or on final settlement of a debt amount-
ing to £2 and upwards paid by instalments of sums under
£2, and whether such acknowledgment take the form of an
ordinary receipt, or merely that of an entry in a 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 1d. should be affixed and duly cancelled.

Every person who writes or signs, or causes to be written
or signed, any such receipt or acknowledgment unless the
same be duly stamped is liable to a penalty of £10; 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.
C. A. HICKSON,
Secretary for Stamps.
