Description

Mr. Stanbery, for the plaintiff in error: The English precedents of declaration upon instruments subject to stamp duties, do not indeed contain an averment that they were stamped at their date, or at any subsequent time, but they are not in point, for the want of a stamp does not in England invalidate the instrument, but only excludes it from being used in evidence until stamped. Our statutes declare the unstamped instrument invalid until a stamp is affixed by an application to an internal revenue officer. If the stamp is necessary to give validity to the instrument, it would seem that the declaration should aver that the note was stamped.
