CAUTION.— The attention of the public is called to section sixteen (16) of the Stamp Duties Act, 1866, which specifies the instruments on which the duties payable may be denoted by adhesive stamps affixed by the makers or holders. On all other instruments the stamp must be affixed at the Stamp Office; any stamp not so affixed is of no avail, and the instrument to which' it is affixed is unstamped within the meaning of the Act. All instruments required to be stamped after execution, except those specified in section sixteen (16), must be presented at the Stamp Office within one month after the date of execution. Instruments not presented within one month become liable to a fine of twenty pounds (£2O) per centum upon the duty payable, which fine is increased to one hundred pounds (£100) per centum after three months from the date oi execution: no fine in the latter case being less than five pounds (£5).
