PENALTIES FOR DEFRAUDING IN TREIN MATTERS.
Fourth rule. The old practice was to wait 10 years before requiring the mortgaged property deed to be stamped, but those who sold property were required to stamp the dred as soon as the safe is made, and in case of violation a penalty was inflicted.
On account of this difference the people used deceit. Frequently after selling property the deeds were not brought to be stamped, and when the case was investigated a fraudulene deed was produced which affirmed that the property was only mortgaged.
Often the price of the sale of land was falsöly stated, or the deed was not produced.until ibe parties were involved in liilgation, and then they were stamped to enable them to escape punishment.
For these reasons the income from stamping deeds has steadily diminished
A triple form of deed is now supplied for use in case of property that has been' mort gazed, and the mortgages must have the deed
