Mr. Joitto , om, from the Othce of the Chief Se cretary in Ireland, presented certain accounts, rela tive to that country, at the Bar of the House. DOLLARS. Mr. STURGESS BOURNE' moved the third reading of ,heßill for preventing the counterfeiting of dollars, Mr. FRANCIS said, he had many ohjeetioas to this Bill. It went to sandion, by an ad of the Le gislature, a proceeding which he conceived to be at once novel and unconstitutional. This proceeding WAS the power which individuals assumed of issuing money in imitation of the current coin of the realm. This was a privilege which belonged only to His Majesty ; and it was highly dangerous to suffer it to be exercised by any company. It would be holding out the strongest encouragement to others to make counterfeit coin. The Dollars, that were now issued by the Bank of England, bore about them all the marks of the current coin of the king dom, which, at all former times, had been issued in the name of the King only. If these dollars were meant only to be tokens, they might as well be is sueJ in paper to the same amount : and if they were issued only as a deposit, they could not be properly considered as such, because their nominal was not equal to their real value. He wished to know why they could not at once be issued at a rate,proportbn..l to the intrinsic valae of the quantity of silver they contained, and not at a rate so much higher than the value if brought to the market. The Hon. Member then took notice of the Dollars which were issued some time ago by the Bank and called in again ; and complained of the hardships the public had suffered in consequence of that proceeding. Numbers of persons had taken Dollars which they thought had come from the Bank ; and which the Bank afterwards refused to take back from them. Tne Bank had also issued a proclamati nil desiring the public to deliver in all dollars in their bands. within a certain period, and that after that period none should be taken. This, he contended, was a hardship upon the pnblic ; it was unjust, and it was a thing which the Bank had no right to do. Now that they were permitted to issue Dollars in another shape, he hoped that provision would be made to oblige the Bank to take them back again within a certain time. Mr. STURGESS BOURNE defended the Bill as one to which the arguments of the lion. Gentleman did not in any respea apply. This Bill did sot go to give new powers to any individuals, but only to proteft a-sd give greater security to the property of a compar y which had iuued certain tokens upon its own credit. These were not issued as beano g the chArafter or impression of the current coin of the realm ; but given as securities from that company alone. The only crestion then was, whether it was not better to issue them in money, in order to pre vent those forgeries and counterfeits which must take place to a great extent, if they were issued in paper The Hon. Gentleman might as well objet to a Bill brought in to prevent the forgery of Bank Notes; and *Lit on the ground of such notes being made in a particular shape. There was no compul sion on the public, as to taking the dollars in ques tion ; they were found to be the most convenient circulating medium at this time; and the shape the dollars now issued, was the best calculated to pre vent frauds upon the public. \Vith respe4t to fixing a time for calling them in, the Bill was wholly silent on that point, nor dill he see what necessity there was for such a provision. • As to what the Hon. Gentleman said, relative to en advertisement corn ing from the Bank, there certainly was a mi.take on that stibjed ; for no such praCtice had prevailed as that or the Bank refusing to take, after a certain petiod, dollars previously issued by them. 1 Mr. FRANCIS spoke in explanation. Lord FOLKST i ONE said he wits hippy to find this suhjed had arrested the attention of - tha House. now under :oosideration could not be ob jedecito as . a measure merely to prevent the counter feiting of dollars. Bet he objected to any measure that went to hold out these• dollars as pact of the , coin of the kingdom. H. ohjetted to His Majest;;'s image being make I upon them ; and to •Ite support and countenance that was now to be given to that coin, by the present Bill: Although issued by the Bank, the public was to consider it as a par, of the coin of the country ; and as such, be ehiteled to it. Whatever was considered the coin of the king. dom, ought not to be issued by any but His Ma;e3. ty. It war therossumption of an aft of sovereignty in the Rank to do so; and consequently a proceed. ing which Parlianient ought not to sentlion. He also objeaed to the proceeding, on account of the difference between the nominal and real value of the coin. Each piece was to pass for ss. and its real value was only 4s. 6d. It was the same thing as if 101 d. was to he issued for a shilling. The public, therefore, had not sufficient secnrity for the whdt; of the sum at which they took these tokens. Mr. PITT said, that he had never entertained any idea, that these tokens were to be considered as the current coin of the kingdom. They were only another kind of Bank Notes, for a smaller amount. Every argument, founded on the assumption of these being current coin, Was inapplicable to this Bill. All that the Legisature now did was this. It was found a matter of great public conveni•nce, that the Bank of England should i•sue silver notes of comparatively small value • and it was equally convenient and Leeman', to pi s by a Legisle tive proceeding, that the counterfeiting of these shaold be a crime, its the same manner as the coun terfeiting of notes. This was all the present Bill proposed to do. How far these dollars ought to make a part of the circulation of the errantry, that Was another question, not connected with the parti cular measure then before the House. The only question now was, wherive it Was not desirable to prevent the enormous abuse of coining; and to pre vent the Rank of England from being =posed upon by those ceunterfeits, which, without such a pt r. vision us this, might be made with impunire. Mr. %YINDHAM said, he could not nhien to any provision that went to prevent the com . mission of crimes, and the great public inconvenience arising from counterfeits. But whet he complained of in the measure in cpiestion, was th it two epeiations, distinct in their nature, were not kept %limbs& in their appearance. He n idled to know why these dollars, issued by the Rank, were put so mu, h in the form end chareeer of coin, th..t they weal.: be al considered as having more of the sanaion of Go. vernment, than it was the intention or Grivernm-nt to give to them ? The Parliament might tell the Bank they should not put the King's Lead on the dollars issued by them, and they should not ie. 'amble what they were not. If they were nothing more than tokens, let all idea of coin be kept apart. Nothing should have been done in a mixed equivocal manner : nothing should be dons to excite the jea lousy of the Sovereign, whose privilege was thus invaded. Mr. H. THORNTON was ready to admit that the remarks made by the Right Hon. Gentleman who spoke last, and others, werinot unfounded; but they did not apply to this Bill. It certainly was not desirable that any company of men should do that which was the prerogative of the Crown. With respell to these silver tokens of the Bank, he must say, they were issued at that amount which ought to be the value of silver in England. On the same principle, these tokens in Ireland were to pass at the rate of six shillings, in order to accommodate them to the state of the Exchange in that country. He certainly objected to the principle of public bo. dies having the privilege to do ads that properly be longed to the Sovereign. But this ohjeCtion must ba done away when it was considered that the pre sent was only a temporary expedient. Mr. DEN l' said, the measure its question only went to give ease and facility to the circulating me dium of the country at large, and of Loss on io particular ; which were much indebted to those idua had brought it forward. Mr. Parr, in explanation, said, that the " of England" was marked on all the Dollars. Mr. PKINSLP contended, there was in this loss.. sere the strongest temptation to counterfeit, wallet even adulterating the silver. The standard virus of a dollar was 4s. 3d. What was there then to al prevent men from getting . new Dollars at ..1 giving them the shape of those issued by the Batik ; and then gaining 9d. on each of them t Mr. JOHNSTONE contended, that government was ROW enabling the Banks of Engiand and Ire land to commit a fraud: for they would pay their debts in a coin whose real was less than its nominal value. Mr. PITT answered, that the Bank was liable to take back these dollars, and give for them the sum at which they were issued. The Bill was then read a third time, and passed. MR. JCSTICE FOX. Colonel COLE pre3ented a Petition from Irwine, Esq. of Rockfield, in the county of Per managh, stating, that he had bon I Ii7:1 Sheriff for that County; that during the Ass•ces there, it WaS necessary for him to proceed to the verge of the county, to meet the Judges ; and that, in execution of his Office. he did so. 1:11t :11r. Justi c e F ox , who wa s one of the Judges at the Assizes, al. vanced to the place of meeting, much earlier, and with more expedition, than v. as elpeEted ; he had, therefore, artived at the extremity of the countr. before the Petitioner; who, however, shortly afar
