Stamp Duty
Declaration in assumpsit alleged that plaintiff, in France, drew a bill, for a sum named, on defendant, which defendant accepted. Issues were joined: first, on a plea of non-acceptance; secondly, on a traverse of a plea alleging that plaintiff, after the acceptance and without defendant’s consent, changed the purport of the bill by altering the sum for which it was drawn. On the trial it appeared that the bill had been originally drawn in Paris for a larger sum than that named, but that defendant had accepted for a smaller sum. In the body of the bill the sum originally named had been altered to that for which defendant had accepted, but it did not appear by whom, or at what time or place, the alteration had been made. No stamp was on the bill. Held, that plaintiff was entitled to a verdict on both issues : the acceptance by defendant furnishing evidenCe that he assented to the insertion of the smaller sum; and it not being shewn that the alteration, even if made by the parties contrary to their original intention was made in England, so as to render a stamp requisite.
