(2) Where a contract note is a continuation or carrying over note made for the
purpose of continuing or carrying over any transaction for the sale or
purchase of stock or marketable securities, the contract note, although it is
made in respect of both a sale and purchase, shall be charged with duty under

or purchaser, as the case may be, of the sale or purchase of any stock or
marketable security, but does not include a note sent by a broker or agent to
his principal where the principal is himself acting as broker or agent for a

Kingdom or a person who bona fide carries on the business of a stockbroker in
the United Kingdom, and is registered as such in the list of stockbrokers kept
by the Commissioners.

(4) Where a contract note advises the sale or purchase of more than one
description of stock or marketable security, the note shall be deemed to be as

purchased.
