Article 20.--When the conditions of distribution of the objects captured and con- fiscated have been drawn up and published in accordance with article 241 of the Mercan- tile Marine Code for the settlement of claims, the interested parties should send to the president of the Commission a statement of the grounds on which they base their claims.
The Commission is then again convoked by the president, and, after hearing what the Government commissioners may have to say, shall then take a final decision.
Article 21.---The office of the secretary is open to the public on week days from 10 to 12 and from 4 to 6 and on holidays from 10 to 12.
Article 22. The judgment as to the legality of capture given in name of the Govern- ment and the drawing up of the conditions of distribution are considered as done in the exclusive interest of the public service (and therefore not liable to stamp duties).
But the acts submitted or demanded during the case by private persons, and their documents, instances and pleas, as well as copies of the sentences, and the ordi- nances asked for by the parties, must be drawn up and delivered in accordance with the laws of the realm regulating stamp and registration duties.
The parties themselves must deposit beforehand with the secretary of the Com- mission the sheets of stamped paper necessary for drawing up the acts asked for or rendered necessary by them, and the estimated amount of registration duty, to which the decisions relative to the eventual acceptance of their instances are subject, to be calculated when the secretary has completed the formalities of registration.
No. 536. The following lists which appeared in the London Gazette of the 8th, 15th and 22nd October, 1915, are published for general information.
