or other disposition' of the coin, and requires to its legality that the contract should be in writing, or printed, signed and stamped, to an amount equal to one half of one per cent of the principal and interest, until settlement, at the rate of six per cent per annum of the sum loaned upon it. Transactions in gold are not affected by the law.” AS TO STAMPS ON DEEDS.

The commissioner has decided that, where land is sold subject to ground rent, a stamp appropriate to the consideration of the deed by which the property is conveyed is the proper one. The rights of the ground landlord and of the owner of the ground rent are regarded as two different estates, and subject to sale and conveyance, and also to stamp duties, independent of each other. It is also decided that, where a State is grantor in a deed of conveyance, the fiscal or executive office executing the instrument is not obliged to affix a stamp. The instrument, however, is not the less subject to stamp duty, which must be paid by the grantee, and the stamp must be affixed by him. When there has been neglect to affix the stamp on an instrument heretofore made, the stamp may be yet affixed by either party to the instrument, or by any using it or having an interest in the subject.
