The mode of the entry in the Register
is the last topic that comes to be considered, with a
view to the prevention. The only species of forgery
to which this part of the Note is exposed is
that which consists in simple obliteration. By th
expunging the entry made of a year for which
interest has been received a man would might gain
the amount of the interest of that year: by —
from the addition of a year nothing could ensue
but loss.
Shall the entry be made by writing or by stamp?
The use of the stamp presents itself as being rather
more expeditious, more * in its extent where
in a case where a slight aberration would might be productive of
confusion, and capable of being more effectually secured
against obliteration.
