		REVENUE 1897 (24th September), complete printed ‘Certificate of Protection’ document headed ‘THE TATI CONCESSIONS LIMITED’. Bearing eight examples of the 10/- grey-green (T&M TC1.4) each tied by ‘THE TATI CONCESSION / LIMITED / 24 SEP 1897 / TATI MATABELELAND’ oval datestamps struck in violet. The certificate of protection is granted to Daniel Francis (after whom Francistown is named) as claimholder for ‘Ten Claims’ on the ‘North Monarch Reef’ for a period of eight months ‘on the ground of Scarcity of native labour’. Two lower adhesives are additonally dated in manuscript. Very fine and extremely rare, believed to be one of two such stamped Tati documents extant. Note: the stamp duty on a Certificate of Protection appears to have been 1/- per month per claim. This Protection was for eight months, due to the scarcity of Native labour. The stamp duty was therefore 8/- per claim. As this Protection was for 10 claims, the total stamp duty amounted to Ł4, which was paid using eight 10/- Tati Concession stamps.
