REPORT Or THE COMMIScIONERS APPOINTED FOR IN QUIRING INTO THE MOVE OF PREVENTING THE FORGERY OF BANK NOTES. Ordered by the House of COMMORS SO be printed, 22d January, 1819. TO HIS ROYAL littOnNvis Grum: vittivre Of WALvs, RfratlT Of TON UNITES) LING OoNI or DMUS URI TAIN AND IRELAND. lii obedience to the directions contained in his Majesty's Commission, we proceeded, in the latter end of the month of July last, to consider the important Isubject referred to us. Our attention was first *ldeatd to the proposals fur im provement in the Form of the Notes issued by the Bank of England; and it being knows, that many plans haul been submitted to that Body, which they had not thought it esp.!. dii sit to adopt, we felt it proper, in the first instance, to ob. taw correct information upon this point ; and we therefore requested the Court of Directors to furnish 1111 with an are t uuut of such plans. They did actordiegly famish us with. out delay, with a detailed account of one hundred and right projects, regularly classed and 311 Hllgid, togeth►r with the correspondence respecting them, a statement of the trials to which they bad been subjected, and specimens of the proposed urietuals, and of the imitations executed by order of the Bank. They also laid before IS about strenry varieties of paper made at their manufactui y, in exiwrimenta for its smpruvi meld, in which almost every alteration recommend ed fur &dull• hail been tried, and, in some just:times, an ticipated by their own manufacturer. We have also received and atiswered communications from nbuut seventy individual', which have been ■nauged and considered; and in some cases, n personal isitu, slew has been requested, and held. Several of these prams had been previously in commit ideation wills the Batik; and we find that its the instance of sonic projects of superior promise, the Directors had furnished to the imposers, the pecuniary menus of carrying their ideas into effect. We have likewise sought and obtained inforinatiens, as to (be stale of the paper c u rrency in other countries; but this has loaned of very ❑ttle importuner, with reference to the subject of amr present inquiry. From America, which affords the closest parallel to state of England in this particular, no official return ha* yet been received, hut we have reason to Houk that in %eyriel parts of the United States the crime of forgery is prevalent, and that great off nls are now making to give to the woes suck a character as may bast the skill of the American forger. Specimens of these improved notes have been cuunnunirsied to us by the agent of die American Patentee, and have received our particular att e ntion with regard to the practicability of adoptisig the invention, in whole us is, past, so as to present a barrier to the art and skill of the forger in this country. Upon the general subject of the extent of Forgery, we do not think it ;accessary to recapitulate statements which are already berme Parliament mid the public. It appeared to us, however, proper to obtain snore particular information as to the course whirls has been hitherto pursued by the Batik, berth will. rented to the preveutiott, and with respect to the detection and punishment of the crone. Uprise the forum'r of these puiuts, we have received front the Directors, in addition to the account before alluded to, clear and cir cumstantial details. And it is but common justitc to those gentlenirn to state, that in every instance our inquiries have been mist by them in the 11104 prompt and satisfactory manner, and every sort of uosful isiforination readily fin utilised. We feel it alai) proper to add • opinion, formed after an examiustion of all the projects which have bee,, for merly submitted to the Bank for a change in the form of their notes, that uo one of these could have bent adopted with such a prospect of solid advantage to the public, as would compensate the evils necessarily atteudaut upon a The invention tewhich we refer in the latter part of this Report, and 011 which our attention is now principally en. gaged, was laid before the Directors a short time previous to the issuing of his Majesty's Conimiesiois, and str far enter. tasted by theist, that they advanced a large sum of money to the Author. 'lke chief sues it of this invention consisting in the extreme accuracy of the machinery requisite, time and application are uceesisary to bring it to sorb a stale of per feet iou as appears likely to answer the purpose &sited. Upon the latter of the two riots above r eferred to. we have received Gum the Chief Inspector and Chief Investigator at the Bank, nod also from the Soliris•s,, aecounls of the coarse pursued is, their respective delis' twills Fur which pui pose, we requested the personal attendance of each ofthose Obi - 07N and entered into such an examination of them, as 'Twitted to us to be calculated to produce the necessary infin We have also hied furundied by the Back otth the tuvaiiii or - - judging of the actual state of forgery, and of that degree of skiff which appears soffit:lent to deceive the Isolate, by Ilse examination of forged Notes of %atriums end ?Yea of the tools and iiistrumeots used lis one forger, a Lich act rt taken upon hien.
