To The Editor Of The Time...
Sir,-Your readiness at all times to expose the impositions of men in power, induces me to trouble you with the following observations. You are tully aware, thlat by an act passed in the last session of Par- lianient, various law stamps were repealed, and that in conacquence, the parchment or paper on whichi Ruch stamps were impressed be- came a uselss comnioditv until allowed by the Commissioners of Stamps; but I think no one could have expected, that because the Legisature has tboughlt proper to discontinue the use of law.stamps, the parchment and paper forms on which they were impressed would become forfeited to AMessrs. the Commissioners of Stamp-duties and their servantn. Such, however, is the fact; for in answer to petitions on the subject addressed to the Board, it has been replied, that only large skins of parchment will be returned to the law.stationer; so tha,t in addition to many other articles which might be enumerated, (and however low he might keep his stock, they would be very nu. merous), he is robbed of several resmij of paper, the printing only of whicb,for declaration counts,has cost him avery considerablesum,and that merelv because the Legislature has thought fit to discontinue the use of fourpenny stamps on those articles. I am a young beginner, VMr. Editor, and therefore I cannot but feel this supplemental enactment by the Commissioners of Stamps (fbr the legislature has said noithinz whatever about the forfeiture of paper, &c.) an extremely oppressive and unjust one. fnaconclusior, I beg t~ ask, whetheia plazit die (if I may so term it) ghtnot satly be used to efface th stamp duties allowed to thepublic. and thus satisfy the demands of Governnent, and the tradesW-nan's property be restored ?-I am, Sir, Your's obedientlv. A LJ,AW-5TATIONER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
