left in the Adjudication Office for assessment of stamp duty, and which may, through inadvertence or the mislaying of the official receipts, be forgotten by the Solicitors concerned, or by their Town Agents, I am directed by the Revenue Commissioners to state that effect will be given to the suggestion contained in your letter, and accordingly, reminders will be issued to Solicitors in cases of deeds, which would appear to have been overlooked for over six months, and also in the case of documents unclaimed for a similar period. Mise, le mcas, J. SADHER. DEAR SIR, My Commissioners at their meeting held on the 15th instant reviewed the question of publication of charitable devises and bequests and they directed me to communicate to you the following Order:— " That in any case in which the total amount of the charitable devises and bequests exceeds £500, but does not exceed £1,000, and in which special circumstances are shown to exist, e.g., where the legacies are given to organised charitable bodies, the Board will be prepared to consider applications for exemption, either wholly or partially, from the obligation to publish the Statutory Notice." The Commissioners ruling as set out in a letter addressed to you on the 2nd April, 1942, applicable to cases where the value of the charitable devises and bequests does not exceed £500, remains un altered. Yours faithfully, J. S. MARTIN, Secretary.
