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