§. 9. [ 1 ] [ Impressed by stamps or otherwise ] p. 13.
Hitherto, I belive without an exception with few without any exception that I recollect
of any exception, in the several instances of licence
Duties, the sums expressive of the amount of the
duty have been impressed by stamps. The One reason
why a latitude is proposed to be given for departing from that
practice in the present instance is - that the number
of different sums, resulting from the Bye-
licences, grantable for fractions of the year, with
proportionate rates of duty, might come to be so
great as to render that mode an inconvenient
one. Under the an authority such as that which is here given, the Commissioners
will would adopt or reject it in such manner
and degree as they find to be found most advantageous
upon the whole. No danger it is of any kind
can, it is conceived, result from the latitude thus
give proposed to be given in that respect. Powers
for varying the stamps from time to time, are given
in the original Stamp Act of the 5th of W. 3d.
and in subsequent Acts (as stated in the Preliminary Observations). If Another reason
is (though it may
perhaps be deemed appear
a fanciful one) is
that if
too much stress were
laid upon the stamps (which in the nature of the case are a merely
accidental comcomitant of the business) - if for example
it were peremptorily that stamps
should be employ'd (as requisite from which no advantage could
( it is conceived ) result) it might perhaps be thought
to give the existing Stamp Office aclaim to the business
destined to the proposed Board or at least would
cause the institution of the Board to be regarded perhaps by
Stamp Office as a sort of encroachment upon
their province.
