Judgement Text

Translate:

Pontifex, J.@mdashSection 8 does not refer to such instruments only. These bills are not admissible upon another ground. If you contend that Section 28 applies only to instruments chargeable with one anna, then, Section 5 shows that you cannot use an adhesive stamp at all. Again, Section 19 seems to show that Section 20 does not apply to bills of exchange at all. It could not have been intended that s.20 should alter s.19.� I must admit the objection as to these hundis as they are insufficiently stamped.
