SECRETARIAL PRACTICE 
A transfer of any Stock, Shares or Marketable Security 
operating as a Voluntary Disposition inter vivos, is charge- 
able with ad valorem stamp duty at the above rates on the 
value of the property transferred. No such transfer is 
duly stamped unless it bears the Adjudication Stamp of the 
Commissioners of Inland Revenue. Registering Officers 
should therefore decline to register any transfers inter vivos 
by way of gift, unless they bear the Adjudication Stamp. 
An exception may, however, be made where the transfers 
are stamped with ad valorem duty upon the market value 
of the Stock or Securities at the date of the instrument, it 
being open to the Registering Officer to obtain the Adjudi- 
cation Stamp at any time subsequently, should necessity 
arise. 
By s. 42 of the Finance Act, 1920, special provision is 
made for the case of transfers to a dealer on a Stock Ex- 
change, as therein defined, or his nominee, when the 
transaction to which the transfer relates has been carried 
out by the dealer in the ordinary course of his business. 
Such transfers are sufficiently stamped with Ios. if, in 
addition to that duty, they bear the special supplementary 
stamp under the terms of the Section, and should in no 
sircumstances be registered unless they bear this stamp.
