§ SIR JOHN KENNAWAYasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether, where landlord and tenant enter into an agreement under the Agricultural Holdings (England) Act of last Session to adopt a portion of that Act, such agreement would require an ad valorem stamp, as if it were a lease or an agreement for a lease?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER,in reply, said, that if any agreement was entered into under the Agricultural Holdings (England) Act to adopt the operation of that Act, such an agreement, if not in itself a lease or an agreement for a lease, would not require an ad valorem stamp, but a 6d. stamp would be sufficient if under hand, and a 10s. stamp if under the form of a deed.
