is entitled to the usual fee therefor. The reason for

this was that there appeared to be a strict statutory

obligation to have the stamp impressed on the deed

in all cases. However, there are regulations which

were made by the Commissioners of Inland Revenue

under section 4 of the Finance (1909-10) Act, 1910

and the Finance Act, 1920 and these regulations

exclude specifically from the obligation to furnish

particulars

and

to have

the

stamp

impressed

conveyances to which the Land Purchase (Ireland)

Acts apply which are to be registered under the

Local Registration of Title (Ireland) Act, 1891.

The Stamp Office take the view that

(a)

a holding

in respect of which the land purchase annuity has

been redeemed is not a case to which the Land

Purchase Acts apply and in such a case a P.D. stamp

should be impressed and

(V)

where there is a sub

sisting annuity the Land Purchase Acts apply and

the P.D. stamp need not be impressed. With regard

to vested cottages under the Labourers Act, 1936, it

would appear that section 19 (i) of that Act brings

all vested cottages within the scope of the regulation

already referred to and consequently a P.D. stamp

need not be impressed in any case of a transfer of

a vested cottage under this Act. The Stamp Office

are in agreement with this view.

The regulations above referred to will be found

at page 331 in the iyth edition of

Alps on Stamp

Duties

(1923).
