INTER PROVINCIAL TELEGRAMS.
To-day, at the Police Court, a curious case under ths Stamp Act was heard and decided. William V. Utting, a clerk employed by M'Arthur and Co., warehousemen, was charged with signing a receipt for £78 0s Id without the said receipt being duly stamped. The particulars appeared to be as follows:— A customer of the firm named Heldt sejjt a portion of the account which he owed the firm, and Utting, in reply by letter, stated that the sum named had been received. He signed the letter not thinking that it would be looked upon in the light of a formal receipt. The facts stated were admitted, and the lowest penalty 40s and costs (£2 8s 6d) was imposed.
