Office in

By Statute 40G.3.c.15 the faith of Parliament is pledged, that no Annuity-Note,
conveying a perpetual redeemable Annuity payable to Bearer, shall
ever be issued as such price as is to give a higher rate of Interest than is given by
this Note; and that no such Annuity Note shall ever be paid off without the consent
of the Holder, while any redeemable Stock Annuities continue unredeemed.—

For security, in cases of truest conveyance by Post, &c. the head price of this Note
may be separated from the body, by cutting it across through the waved line. An account
of the Uses and Purposes of such division may be seen at the said several Post Offices.—

By Statute 40G.3.c.15 conterfeiting &c the Portrait of any
Public Officer on an Annuity Note is Forgery: the having in ones possession without special
license any drawing or Plate &c designed to represent such head is presumptive evidence of
such Forgery; punishment, Death: like provision in respect of the counterfeiting this type.
