Bonds. Stamp duty, amount. Exemptions. 124. When no place is mentioned for the performance of the condition, it must be done to the person of the obligee, if he be within the four seas. But although the place be named, yet if the obligee receive payment in any other place, it is sufficient to save the bond; and by the 4 Anne, c. 4, sect. 12, such payment may be pleaded in bar of any action, Hargr. Co. Litt. 212, n. 9. The amount of the stamp duty on bonds is regulated by 55 G. 3, c. 184, sched. p. i., on the construction of which Act, see Dig. p. ii. tit. BONDS. Where a bond is not otherwise charged, it is liable to a common deed stamp of 11. 15s., and the progressive duty of 11. 5s. for every 1080 words above the first 1080. If several persons are bound under one penalty for the performance of the same matters, one stamp is sufficient, Godson v. Forbes, 1 Marsh. 531. If the stamp be insufficient, it is a ground of nonsuit, 2 M. & S. 88; 2 Price, 20; but it is sufficient if the instrument bear a proper stamp when it is produced, 2 Marsh. 485; 7 Taunt. 147.
