<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 438068, member: 33&quot;]Ok, the following link goes to an article that explains the duties that were charged for financial agreements in Great Britain. 16 shillings was the fee charged during the reign of George III. This item describes the dates of the various statutes about this. It describes minor changes to the laws, including a change that occurred in the 44th year of the reign of George III. That year was 1804. (<i>Financial Reform Tracts: Civil List</i>.
