SECTION 1.-STAMPS ON AGREEMENTS.
AGREEMENT FOR LEASE not exceeding 35
years.

N.B.-Leases made afterwards in pur-
suance of these agreements (sect. 96),
which shall have been duly stamped,
shall not be chargeable with any higher
duty than 6d. and may be stamped with
a denoting stamp.

(a) The effect of the new Stamp Act on leases is thus described in Mr. Waterlow's edition of the Act of 1870:

"Lease or Tack.-The charges under this head have all been brought together under one view. The charge in respect of rent upon leases for years is made to depend, not as heretofore, upon the yearly rent, which has been held to mean the rent reserved during every year of the term, but upon the average yearly rent during the whole of the term. The regulations with reference to charging leases with duty in respect of rents in kind have been generalised and simplified. The former enactment, by which an agreement for a lease for a period not exceeding seven years is chargeable with duty as an actual lease, has been extended to agreements for periods not exceeding 35 years, but any lease made in pursuance of such agreement is only to be charged with the duty of sixpence. In a letting for a term less than a year the rate of 107. per annum is substituted for 3s. 6d. a week as the rent governing the duty of one penny, which is a modification in favour of the public. This duty may be denoted by an adhesive stamp (section 100). Hitherto a lease for a term not exceeding 35 years made in consideration of a fine with a yearly rent under 201., has been chargeable only with duty in respect of the fine; but in future it will be chargeable, as in all other cases, with duty as well in respect of the rent as in respect of the fine."
