Allowance for stamps spoiled. &c.

20. The Lord-Lieutenant may from time to time make regulations for the allowance of such of the stamps issued under the provisions of this Act as may have been spoiled or rendered useless or unfit for the purpose intended, or for which the owner may have no used, or which, through mistake or inadvertence, may have been improperly or unnecessarily used, or where the fee has been remitted; and allowance shall be made either by giving other stamps in lieu of the stamps so allowed for, or by repaying the amount or value to the owner or holder thereof, after deducting the discount or poundage (if any) that may have been allowed for the sale or distribution of such stamps.
