§ At any time after the expiration of six months from the passing of this Act or of such longer period, not being more than nine months from the passing of this Act, as the Board of Trade may by order direct, any person may inspect the documents filed by the Registrar on payment of such fees as may be appointed by the Treasury not exceeding one shilling for 241 each inspection; and any person may require a certificate of the registration, of any firm or person, or a copy of or extract from any registered statement to be certified by the Registrar or Assistant Registrar, and there shall be paid for such certificate of registration, certified copy, or extract such fees as the Treasury may appoint not exceeding two shillings for the certificate of registration, and not exceeding sixpence for each folio of seventy-two words, or in Scotland for each sheet of 200 words, of the entry, copy, or extract.
§ A certificate of registration, or a copy of or extract from any statement registered under this Act, if duly certified to be a true copy or extract under the hand of the Registrar or one of the Assistant Registrars (whom it shall not be necessary to prove to be the Registrar or Assistant Registrar), shall, in all legal proceedings, civil or criminal, be received in evidence.
§ Amendment made: Leave out the words "the Treasury may appoint" ["or extract such fees as the Treasury may appoint not exceeding two shillings"], and insert instead thereof the words "may be prescribed."—[Mr. Pretyinan.]
