Where provision has been made by the legislature of a colony and otherwise for the inscription and transfer in a register kept in the United Kingdom by some bank, colonial officer, or person (which bank, officer, or person is in this Act referred to as the registrar) of any stock forming the whole or part of the public debt of such colony, and the government of such colony cause a declaration under the seal of such colony, or by some person in that behalf authorised under that seal, stating such provision, and identifying the stock with respect to which it has been made, to be left with the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, those Commissioners, upon payment of the proper fee, shall record the same; and such record and declaration shall be open to inspection at all reasonable times, in manner directed by the said Commissioners, upon payment of the proper fee.
Upon such declaration being recorded, this Act shall apply to the stock specified in the declaration, and this Act shall not apply to any colonial stock not specified in a declaration recorded as provided by this section.
The proper fee for the purposes of this section shall be such fee not exceeding, in the case of recording a declaration, five pounds, and in the case of inspection five shillings, as the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury from time to time fix, and shall be paid into the Exchequer.
