STATUTORY COMPANIES 305 The fee which a statutory company may demand upon transmission is, in the absence of any prescribed amount, a sum not exceeding 5s. [s. 18]. As already stated, a fee of 2s. 64. may be demanded on every transfer. Apart from these two fees, it does not appear that a statutory company has any power to charge any other fees in respect of matters connected with transfers and transmission; but it is usual for a similar fee to be charged on registration of probate or letters of administration, on proof of marriage or death, and on registration of powers of attorney; and until the right to demand these fees is challenged there seems no reason why the practice should not be continued.
