HC Deb 01 May 1885 vol 297 c1314
MR. BARRY

asked Mr. Attorney General, If he will remove a doubt existing in commercial circles by saying whether payment of an account of over £2 by cheque, payable to order, obviates the necessity of using a receipt stamp?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir HENRY JAMES),

in reply, said, a stamp was required to be affixed to the account under the circumstances referred to in the Question.
