Answer
"Inland
Revenue
Office,
Somerset
House,
London,
27th
August,
1855.
Sir,--The
Board
having
had
before
them
your
letter
of
the
18th
inst.,
I
am
directed,
in
reply,
to
state
that
the
documents
therein
referred
to
will
be
chargeable
with
stamp
duty
as
leases
whether
the
tenancy
be
from
quarter
to
quarter,
or
from
year
to
year.
I
am,
sir,
your
obedient
servant,
THOMAS
FINGLE.
W.
Myers,
Esq."
1533.
Stamped
Documents.
In
all
cases
where
the
law
requires
a
stamp,
whether
for
an
agreement
or
a
receipt,
do
not
omit
it.
As
the
stamp
laws
are
liable
to
frequent
alterations,
it
is
best
to
refer
to
the
tables
in
the
recognised
almanacks
for
the
year,
or
to
make
inquiries
at
the
stamp
offices.

Debtor
and
Creditor.
1535.
Bankruptcy.
The
former
distinction
between
insolvents
and
bankrupts
is
now
abolished.
All
debtors,
traders
or
not,
are
now
subject
to
the
laws
of
bankruptcy.
Married
Women
are
now
liable
to
be
made
bankrupt;
but
no
person
under
age,
except
under
certain
circumstances,
with
the
sanction
of
the
Receiver.
Liquidation
by
private
arrangement
is
abolished.
1536.
Bankruptcy
Proceedings.
Bankruptcy
proceedings
commence
with
a
petition,
either
by
the
debtor
himself
or
by
a
creditor
or
creditors.
All
petitions
go
before
the
High
Court
(or
the
district
County
Court),
and
no
composition
or
arrangement
is
sanctioned
until
after
the
debtor
has
been
publicly
examined.
All
proceedings
are
controlled
by
the
Court.
For
bankruptcy
purposes,
the
County
Courts
have
all
the
powers
and
jurisdiction
of
the
High
Court
of
Justice.
