HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL
Lo 10 cents for every $500 of the whole sum secured. It may happen that the mortgage is paid off in instalmente, without any re-assignment taking place on the payment of any given instalment. This case is not met very clearly by the form of the present heading.
8.-The repeal of heading No. 43, which the regulations published on the 24th February, 1929, purported to effect, was of doubtful validity, as it subjected the assignment of trade marks to the ad valorem conveyance duty. Clause 8 is intended to make the stamp duty on an assignment of a trade mark (or trade marks) with the goodwill $10. This was probably the intention of the original beading No. 43, because a trade mark cannot be validly amigoed without the goodwill.
-Clause 9 imposes a stamp duty of $20 on vesting orders other than vesting orders which fall within the definition of a conveyance on sale. An example of a vesting order which would come under heading 43A would be a vesting order on the appoinment of a new, trustee.
10.-Clause 10 proposes to effect an amendment which the regulations pub lished on the 24th February, 1922, pur- ported, with doubtful validity, to effect: It is arguable that the amendment is not absolutely necessary, because section 23 of Ordinance No. 8 of 1921 provides that & voluntary disposition inter vivor is to be charged as if it were a conveyance on sale, and Ordinance No. 21 of 1921 made on the duty on conveyances for sale $1 for every $100. It is, however, desirable to correct the present misleading heading No. 44, especially as it is also arguable that the duty on voluntary dispositions inter vives is really governed by that beading and not by section 23 of Ordi- Bence No. 8 of 1921.
