or the mislaying of the official receipts, be forgotten

contained in your letter, and accordingly, reminders
will be issued to Solicitors in cases of deeds, which

A CHARA,
With reference to your letter of the iyth inst.,
on
the subject of deeds and other documents,
June,
1948.
DEAR SIR,
My Commissioners at their meeting held on the
15th instant reviewed the question of publication
of charitable devises and bequests and they directed
me to communicate to you the following Order:—
" That in any case in which the total amount
of the charitable devises and bequests exceeds
£500, but does not exceed
£1,000,
and in which
special circumstances are shown to exist, e.g.,
where
the
legacies are given
to organised
charitable bodies, the Board will be prepared
to consider applications for exemption, either
wholly or partially, from the obligation to
publish the Statutory Notice."
The Commissioners ruling as set out in a letter
addressed to you on the 2nd April, 1942, applicable
to cases where the value of the charitable devises
and bequests does not exceed £500, remains un
altered.
Yours faithfully,
J. S. MARTIN,
Secretary.
NOTE.—The following is the ruling of the Commissioners
of the znd April, 1942, referred to in the above letter :—
" In every case in which the total amount of the
charitable devises and bequests contained in a Will
does not exceed £500, the Commissioners will, in the
future, having regard to the high costs of publication,
be prepared to give favourable consideration to any
application that may be made on behalf of the executor
or administrator, as the case may be, to be exempted,
cither wholly or partially, from the obligation to publish
the Statutory Notice."
