Report on Ordinance No. 44 of 1909,
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled
An Ordinance to amend the Stamp Ordinance 1901
and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to
the Governor's Instructions.
This Ordinance is a further amendment of the Stamp Ordinance
Sections 1 to 3 are designed, by the imposition of penalties in respect of delayed applications, to induce interested parties to make early application for the grant of probate of the estate of deceased persons and to prevent evasion of duties.
Section 4 relates to the stamping on a conveyance or assigment on sale and incorporates Section 55 of the Imperial Act 1891. Section 5 gives the definitions of the words "marketable security"
referred to in Section 4.
