PENALTIES.

  The Commisioners of Stamps and Taxes hereby give Notice,
that every person taking, killing, or pursuing Game without
first obtaining a Certificate, incurs a penalty of £20, and is also liable
to be surcharged in double the amount of the Certificate
Duty.
  Any person in pursuit of Game refusing on being duly
required to produce his Certificate, or to permit the same to be
read, or a copy thereof to be taken, or refusing to declare his
true name and place of residence, also incurs a penalty of £20.
  Gamekeepers are desired to take notice that a Certificate at
the rate of £1. 7s. 6d. will not authorise any person to kill Game
beyond the limits of the Manor for which he is deputed; and,
in order that a Certificate at such rate of Duty may protect a
Gamekeeper, it is requisite that that not only should he be deputed
by some Lord or Lady of a Manor or reputed Manor, but also
that such Deputation should be registered with the Clerk of the
Peace, or the Gamekeeper will be liable to be surcharged in
Double the Duty of £4. 0s. 10d., and also to be prosecuted by
any common informer for the penalty of £20.
  N.B.-It is the intention of the Commissioners of Stamps
and Taxes to publish in a separate List the Names and Resi-
dences of all persons surcharged in Double Duty for sporting
without Certificates.
