Jrish Land
(Finance)
Rules, 1912.
ISSUE OF GUARANTEED 2| PER CENT. STOCK.
UNDER Rule 9 (1) of these rules it is provided
that no issue of 2f per cent. Stock is to be
made between the date when the books are
closed for the preparation of the dividend
and the following dividend day.
The effect of this provision has been that
no 2|- per cent. Stock has been issued during
either the months of June or December, with
the
result
that allocations
of purchase
moneys, which otherwise would have taken
place in July, have been postponed over the
Long Vacation.
The Council have drawn the attention of
the Treasury to the loss and inconvenience
entailed upon vendors owing to this pro–
vision, and have requested that the rule
should be amended so that the books should
not be closed until within fifteen days of the
next dividend day, as in the case of three
per cent. Stock.
In compliance with the request of the
Council
the Treasury have
issued
the
following rule, to which the attention of
members is drawn, as it reduces to fifteen
days each half-year, the period during which
Guaranteed 2f per cent. Stock will not be
issued :

(9 Edw. 7, c. 42).
The Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's
Treasury hereby certify, under Section 2 of
the Rules Publication Act, 1893, that on
account of urgency the following Rule should
come
into
immediate operation, and,
in
pursuance of
the
powers
conferred by
Section 41 and other sections of the Irish
Land Act, 1909, and of every other power
enabling them in this behalf, hereby, without
prejudice to any further exercise of the said
powers, make the following Rule to come into
operation forthwith as a provisional Rule :
The period for which the issue of stock is
prohibited under the first paragraph of Rule 9
of the Irish Land (Finance) Rules, 1912, shall
