first establishment of the Stamp-Duties, the a
pla place was found for the office said office for the collection of those Duties - it does not
appear precisely where, nor is it worth enquiring.
Whether the office was too small, business was become too great for the building , or for what other
reason, in the towards the end latter end of
Queen Ann's reign, it was thought necessary
to find out another building for it. It was either
upon that which occasion or it was or upon some subsequent one, that
it was thought proper to place it in Lincoln's
Inn, from whence it was removed a few years
ago to the new Palace General Receptacle for Public Offices erected on the site of at Somerset
House. But upon turning to the original Stamp
Act 5 W. c. 21. §. 7 it was found that by a clause
in that Statute (§. 7) the situation of that the Stamp O Office had
been confined - not to a circle in which the Cities
of London and Westminster should be were included,
but to the local site of two unconnected spots occupied by those Cicl Cities themselves:
and Lincolns Inn ( or wh the situation if any
to which the office was removed before it was tran
set down in Lincolns Inn) not being in either
of those Cities, it was found necessary to apply to
Parliament to untie this in consid this knot, and
a clause (§ 181) was accordingly inserted accordingly in the long and
prolific Revenue Act of the 10th A. c. 19 for throwing
into rounding the a clause was inserted (§ 181) for no other purpose than that of
completing the above circle, by
throwing into it a few of the adjacent Parishes,
together with the Inns of Court.
