STAMPING A DUPLICATE RECEIPT
MAGISTRATE SAYS NOT. Whether a duplicate for a receipt marked “copy” should lb stamped was the point Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., was asked yesterday to determine in a case on summons in which J. J. Curtis and Co. were charged with forwarding an unstamped receipt. Sub-Inspector Cummings prosecuted, and Air. H. F. Von Haast appeared, for tho defendant. Sub-Inspector Cummings said that the' company had given a icceipt to the Palmerston North Borough Council for £lOl Os. 2d. for goods supplied, but when the Government Auditor made his inspection it was found to be unstamped. The company explained that shortly after rhe properly stamped receipt had been forwarded by post, an official from the council asked the firm for a duplicate, as tlm original had apparently gone astray" He was supplied with one marked “copy,” and this the Stamp Department maintained should be stamped. His Worship: Yes, they say everything wants stamping. . . If a man looses a receipt and goes for another and gets one marked “copy” . . . “I don’t propose to waste time on it. Dismissed.”'
