HOUSE OF LORDS, AUGUST 23. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool sack at 20 minutes before five o'clock, and moved the committal of the Dower Bill. He said it was a great im provement of the law, and was strongly recommended by the Commissioners appointed to inquire into real property. He trusted it would meet with a favourable consideration from their Lordships. Lord WYNFORD said he was entirely at the mercy of his Noble and Learned Friend, and hoped he would use his power in a sparing manner. He had read over the Report of the Commmissioners, and be confessed that he had not seen one reason for such an alteration in the law, except it was intended as a boon to the practitioners of the law, for not one Bill passed for the improvement of the law but gave them more employment. He trusted, therefore, their Lordships would agree with his motion, that it be committed that day three months. The House then divided, when there appeared— Contents 7 Non-Contents 3 Majority 4 The Bill then went through a Committee, and was or dered to be read a third time to-morrow. The Inheritance Bill went through a Committee, and was ordered to be read a third time on Monday. The Bishop of LONDON laid upon the table the Thirteenth Report of the Commissioners for Building Churches. On the order of the day being moved for the House going into Committee on the BANK CHARTER BILL, The Earl of RIPON said, that though their Lordships had agreed that the second reading should take place without any explanation being required from him of the object and details of the Bill, it was his duty nevertheless on the present occasion, to give the outline of the mea sure. Their Lordships were aware that by the law, as it now stood, the Charter of the Bank was liable to be determined at any period after August, 1834, upon having twelve months' notice of its intended termination. Consequently it has been deemed advisable that a new ar rangement should be made, giving the Bank a renewal of their Charter, as far as was consistent with the interest of the public. The proposed renewal gave the Bank a con siderable portion of the advantages it had previously enjoyed. As to the maintenance of a great banking concern like the Bank of England, with its exclusive privileges and advantages, great difference of opinion existed ; many thought it was by no means advisable to the public interest that such a Commission should exist ; others entertained a contrary opinion, and if upon the compari son of the reasoning on the different views of the subject, that reasoning had been found to preponderate in favour of the latter, undoubtedly it would not have been advisable to have adopted the course that had been pursued. But considering the nature of the institution—the length of time it had existed—the degree to which its concerns were mixed up, not only with Government, but with the commer cial transactions in every part of England, he was sure that their Lordships would be of opinion that it would have been unwise in Parliament to have availed irself of its power to extinguish this Corporation. This subject was not new to their Lordships ; it had been investigated by a Committee of the other Hoot) and the report was now before their Lordships. Many objections bad been tnVe, as to that sort of connection which existed between theßank and Government ; and also as to the power the Bank had of regulating the circulation of the country, as it was thought that might tend to abuse. But, in his opinion, the mere possibility of tending to abuse was no reason why the public should be deprived of the great advantages they derived from such an institution, both commercially and financially. The Government had therefore thought that the Bank ought still to remain entrusted with considerable powers, and the question then was—on what terms and in what manner those powers should be given, and this great body in future be conducted? He would now proceed to state what were the nature of the provisions under which the Bank er,- joyed certain privileges, and would point out the moditica. tions proposed. The second clause enacted that during such privilege no banking company of more than six partners should issue notes payable on demand in London or within 65 miles. Tbat was merely are enactment of previous statutes, it not having been thought expedient to circumscribe that circle. The next provision involved something of novelty. After reciting the existence of doubts as to the operation of the Bank Charter Act, with respect to the right of banks having not more than six partners to issue notes payable on demand, the clause authorized the formation of banks of deposit in London, or within sixty-five miles, although consisting of more than six partners. There were certainly great authorities on both sides of the question, but those to whom the Crown were in the habit of referring were of opinion that by the existing law there was no objection to the establishment of joint stock branches of deposit within the circle of sixty-five miles round London.—(Hear, hear, hear.) However, in consequence of the doubts which had been expressed, it was thought advisable to settle the question by a clause in the present Bill, for at a period when the question had been raised and public attention drawn to it, it would have been a dereliction of duty on the part of Ministers if they had not taken the present opportunity to declare what the law was. It was therefore provided that joint-stock banks of deposit of more than six partners might be established within sixty-five miles of London. —(Hear, hear.) Indeed, he could not see any ob jection in principle to the establishment of such banks, nor could he see in what way they would interfere with the privileges of the Bank of England. The sixth clause was one of very considerable importance, and it would be his duty to explain it to the House. It was that which made Bank notes a legal tender. That proposition might at first sight appear somewhat startling, and it might be said as an objection, that it would allow the Bank to issue its own notes to au injurious extent. It he could think that it was calculated to produce any such result, he would be the last person to recommend it to the adoption of the House.--(Hear, hear.) The country had already suffered enough from fluctuation of the currency which at times might be justified by the imme. diate pressure of the case. Any thing therefore tending to renew such a state of things was not desirable, but he contended this clause would have no snch effect; indeed it was so worded as not to preclude Parliament from deal ing with the subject at any time, and it was not, strictly speaking, in terms of a positive bargain, for the words were " unless and until Parliament should further direct, Lee." It was competent, therefore, for Parliament at any time to revise that part of the case, and to act as might be deem ed expedient. There was a limitation to that privilege to notes of Si., so that supposing a person had to pay Si., he could only tender a 51. note legally, and 3 sovereigns. In any supposable circumstances, which, however, he thought not likely to occur, but which might occur in a great political or commercial panic, he could not hut think that the existence of the provision would be a great security not only to the country hut to the Bank itself, whose habit was not to retain in its coffers more than the average of 1-20th part of their circulation of issues, and it was therefore clear that the issuing of bank of England paper would be one of the greatest secu rities they could enjoy. Indeed that was proved i n 1655, when there was no doubt but that great advantage was derived from the issuing of notes, which might be said to have been one of the causes of stopping that calamity. And then, as far as regarded the Bank of Engl a nd, thi s w ou ld also fur.aish a great security. When occasions of th a t sor t occ urred, the natural object of all the country banks was to obtain with the utmost rapidity, but at a very great expense, the largest possible supplies of gold.--(Hear.) And then, at the same moment other circumstances, either precedent or concomitant, may have placed the Bank, and must place it, under no inconsiderable difficulty in regard to the supply of gold ; because the first effect was, that the foreign ezaanges would be aping tbt. country ; and it would then become more profitable to export gold than produce of any other kind ; and the Bank imperceptibly may, without its being known except to the Company, be drained of a considerable portion of its cash.—(Hear.) The effect of that would he, necessarily to compel the Bank to diminish the issues; the ultimate effects on the country banks would also be that they would be driven to the necessity of controlling its issues ; and, while this was going on, great changes, great alarm, great inconvenience would take place throughout tore country, producing a great tendency to a run on the country bankers. These must then draw on the Bank of England in order to meet their demands, and that took place at the precise moment, when the Bank had previously been deprived of a portion of its gold,so that it would have comparatively a very reduced fund to draw upon, and they would be placed in the greatest embarassment. Thus then, permitting hank notes to he a legal tender, except at the Bank itself, and the branch banks, except as far as issued by themselves, was a mode by which all the danger would be satisfactorily met, without being liable to the charge of having a tendency to produce that danger, because certainly if that tendency did exist, he should not willingly recommend its adoption. The next provision regarded the Usury Laws, which would be a great con venience in mercantile transactions, although it did not affect the general principle of the laws. The next clause enacted that Bills not having more than three months to run should not be subject to the usury laws. Now, this would certainly be of great convenience in mercantile transactions. It did not affect the general principle of the usury laws, on which, though he entertained a very strong opinion, he would not be tempted to say a single word on the present occasion. It was considered as a great relief to commercial men, and on that ground he should rest its justification. The next provision of the Bill to which he had occasion to call the attention of their Lordships was new, and in his opinion, of considerable importance ; it was a provision which required a certain pnblicity to he given to the amount of bullion and securi ties in the Bank of England, and to the amount of its notes issued and in circulation. That subject had been fully investigated before a Committee of the House of Commons last year; and though there was some doubt as to what the mode of proceeding ought to be, he thought that the doubt was rather as to the time than as to the principle of giving publicity to such accounts. —(Hear, hear.) For his own part, he had never been able to see what danger could arise to the Bank if this degree of publicity existed. It had always appeared to him that one of the evils of our banking system was, that no man could make himself acquainted with the amount of the circulation of Bank of England paper at any given time. Great changes occasionally took place in the amount of bank-notes in circulation, and in the supply of gold in the coffers of the Bank to meet them. The consequence was that all persons acting extensively in commercial transactions were acting in the dark. They might watch the turn of the exchanges, as the best crite rion of judging of the amount of paper in circulation, but even that criterion was not always to be depended on; and therefore he thought that it would be more satisfac tory to the public that it should know at stated periods better than it did at present the amount of bank-notes in circulation. In the Bank of France this publicity had long prevailed. lie knew that circumstances were cliff:rent in the two banks, for the circulation of paper in France was indefinitely less than in this country; still he had never heard that any disadvantage had arisen from the publicity given to the accounts of the Bank of France. At any rate, the Bank of England did not think that the publicity required by this clause would lead to any incon venience which would prevent them from discharging their duty properly towards themselves and the public under the terms which this Bill was introduced to ratify. The next clause was to authorize the Bank to reduce the amount of its capital stock. The public were now !_eitind to repay the Bark one-fourth part of the debt of 14,686,000/. borrowed in 1810, at which time the ca pital of the Bank was raised to its present amount. As to the Bank itself, the repayment of the whole sum would at present be an inconvenience ; and therefore they only called for the repayment of 3,600,000/. After en tering into some explanations on this point, not dis tinctly heard in the gallery, the Noble Earl proceeded to observe, that the only part of the Bill to which he now had occasion to direct the attention of their Lordships was that by which the Bank agreed to deduct the annual sum of 120,0001. from the sum hitherto allowed to it by the public for the management of the national debt. He knew it had been said that in not getting a larger deduc tion than 120,0001. the Government had not sufficiently consulted either the interest or the advantage of the public. He admitted that Government might pOssibly have driven the Bank to make a larger deduction than 120,000/. but, considering the claims which the Bank had upo n the country, he thought that it would not have been a wise course to have urged the Bank to a greater sacrifice than could in reason be expected from it. The public had great advantage over the Bank in making a contract of this nature, and might, perhaps, drive the Bank to its oven terms; but that was no reason why the public should extort from the Bank terms which it was not fair for the public, to ask. lie thought that, looking to the services which the Bank had rendered and would again render to the Government on the one hand, and to the public on the other, it would not have been wise in the Government to drive the Bank to the wall. When, therefore, the Government came to discuss this question with the Bank, the Government thought that by accept ing the reduction of 120,000/, which the Bank offered, they made such terms with it on behalf of the public as secured to the public an adequate compensation for the advantages which the Bank derived from the public. He called upon his Noble Friend the Duke of Wellington, who had been his colleague in the administration in 1828, to speak to the utility of the Bank on that occasion. He was sure that no man was snore alive to the services which it then rendered to the country, and upon that ground, as well as upon the other grounds which he had stated, he called upon their Lordships to ratify the contract which in this Bill was made between the Bank and the public. He had now done ; but before he closed his observations he would say a word or two on another Bill, at present before their Lordships, and closely connected with the subject matter of this Bill. That was a Bill by which it was provided that the country bankers should keep accounts of the number of stamps consumed by them to be transmitted to the Government, and this was a very important branch of the sub . kt, inasmuch as great difficulty had arisen from the Government not knowing the extent of the circulation of country bankers. The Duke of WELLINGTON asked whether the last clause to which the Noble Earl had alluded was part of the bargain with the Bank? The Earl of RIPON said that it was. The Duke of WELLINGTON quite agreed with the Noble Earl as to the right of the Government to renew the Charter of the Bank of England, as well as to their right to make a bargain with the Bank Directors, but he did not also agree with the Noble Earl that the Bank had not been, except in some instances, dealt hardly by in that bargain. He did not think that the Bank had been :reated with quite so much forbearance as had been stated, and he, indeed, believed that the Bank Directors thought similarly themselves. He could not help thinking that the sum of 120,0001. was a fair amount, and that there was ❑o great reason on that score to complain that the Bank had been favoured in the arrangement, because, in paint of fact, the Bank had been obliged to reduce their capital in order to make the payment required to the Government. Therefore he could not help thinking that the Government had gone rather too close to the wind in this instance. The principal point, however, to which he would call the attention of the house, in stating his objections to this Bill, was that clause which makes bank notes a legal tender. To the principle of this clause he was most decidedly opposed. He had always considered that our system of circulation was based on the Lest possible footing, that of a solid gold circulation ; the pay ments in retail, as it were, being in gold, and the larger payments on credit ; that credit being supported by the paper of which it consists being liable to be met by cash Payments on demand at any time. This species of cer tainty appeared to him the pledge for the safety of the currency; but it vet remained to be shown to him that, under the arrangement proposed by this Bill, this certainty and safety would continue. He did not mean to say that under the proposed arrangement the bolder of a note would not still be able to demand and obtain gold for that note, but it did appear to him on the face of it that the holder of a note would still be under the necessity of giving credit somewhere. He considered that the effect of the proposed plan would be to depreciate the paper of the Bank of England, and, for his own part, be could not see on what ground the Directors of the Bank had given their aeseut to the erraugetueutp or why they had con• tented to adopt it• He (the Duke of Wellington) was of opinion that from the moment when Parliament sought to attach to the paper of the Bank of England a value to which it was not intrinsically entitled, they thereafter depreciated that paper ; and that the sffects of that depreciation, in the inconvenience and mischief which it would produce would he severely felt, he was convinced. It must be intended either to give to the paper of the Bank of England a value which it did not, and could not, possess, or to depreciate the general credit, and enable the country bankers to en gage in business to a much greater extent and with many more facilities than they otherwise could. The Noble Earl bad stated that the abject was to enable the country bankers to make their issues in greater security than under the present system, and the result would of course be, that there would be a great increase of circulation, an increase of prices, to be followed, whenever any revulsion should occur, by the inevitable ruin of many individuals. He (the Duke of Wellington) could not but prefer to this the present system, under which the Bank could regulate its issues according to the wants of the country, forcing the country bankers to do the same thing, by keuping within those limits the observance of which was necesssary to the wholesome condition of the commerce of the country. Then, again, some parts of the arrangement appeared to him to be wholly ir regular. For instance, a note issued by the Bank of Eng land could not be paid at a branch bank, while, on the other hand, the note of a branch bank was payable either there or at the Bank of England. He was aware that the legal tender clause had been, in Committee in the House of Commons, altered from the state in which it was ori ginally presented to that House—that 51. notes were those originally fixed upon; but he thought that even that amount would be productive of inconvenience. The Noble Earl had said that in discharge of a debt of 71. a Si. note and 2 sovereigns would he a legal tender; but he (the Duke of Wellington) was decidedly of opinion that under this Bill no amount under 10/. would be a legal tender. The fact would be, that the country bankers would not give anything but Bank of England notes in payment of their own notes, and that they would not give gold unless paid 5 or 10 per cent. for so doing. When such things as this came into operation, the fault and de fects of the measure would be discovered, and a degree of distress would be produced greater than had ever occurred throughout the world (Ireland, perhaps, excepted.) These were the objections he had to this Bill, not only as regarded the principle which regulated some of the clauses, but also as to the details ; and he repeated that he thought that a hard bargain hal been driven with the Bank. There was one more most important point, however, to which he must refer,—viz., that part of the Bill which the Noble Earl included in the first part of his statement. With respect to the provision as to the non-establish ment of certain banks within a certain distance round London, he (the Duke of Wellington) understood that the opinion first entertained by the Government bad been that the banks of deposit could not, consist ently with existing laws, be established within those limits; that this had been the state of the law during the last 160 years ; and that, therefore, as the engagement was that all the privileges then enjoyed by the Bank should be secured to it, this prohibition to establish banks ought to continue in force. Before, however, the Bill had passed through all its stages in the other Home it teas, it appeared, discovered that the law which it had been supposed had existed during 160 years was, in reality, no law at all; and that in fact, the Banks in question might legally be established. In consequence of an opi nion to this effect having been given by an Hon. and Learned Member for the other House, the Government thought proper to introduce a clause into the Bill, de el firing that, in truth, the law was different from that which during 160 years it had been supposed to have been ; and lie (the Duke of Wellington) could not help thinking that this had not been a very fair transaction o❑ the part of the House of Commons towards th.! Bank. With respect to the private Banking system of London, there could be no dopbt of the expediency of continuing it, because for the last 160 years it had been the means of affording facility and security to the intern al commerce of the country. The private banks also benefitted the Bank of England, because they made deposits there to the advantage both of the Bank and of the public in terest, But the result of confining the number of partners in those banks to six would be, that the original deposits would no longer be made through the private bankers, but go at once into the hands of the Bank of England. The Noble Duke concluded by observing that the distresses of 1796 were owing to the loyalty loan, which caused the private bankers, for the purpose of meeting the demands upon themselves, to draw from the Bank of England their deposits there. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE ruse for the purpose of confining his observations to what bad fallen trona the Noble Duke on the subject of the legal tender clause. He thought that it was a principle undoubtedly established that the security of a paper currency depended upon the notes current being easily convertible into gold ; and that any departure from that principle would involve the certainty of the insecurity of the circulation. If he had for a moment felt that the measure now introduced would have the effect of depreciating the currency of the country, nothing would have prevented him from giving his most unqualified disapprobation to so dangerous and detestable a proposition ; but the result of his mature deliberation had been the conviction, that the measure would not be attendel by any such results, and he therefore did not oppose it. He believed he was justified in adding, that the directors of the Bank of England took the same view of the probable results of the measure as he himself bad stated to be his own. He contended, that so long as the paper currency of the country was convertible into metallic currency at pleasure, that paper circulation would be safe, and the present Bill went no farther than to exempt the Bank from the burdensome neces- si , y of regulating their supply of gold according to occasional panics which might arise, and thus to re move from them the disability from attending to the more important matter of the regulation of their supply of gold by the state of the foreign exchanges. He contended that the safety of the circulation did not depend on the amount of gold in the country, but on the relation the currency bore to the real wealth in the kingdom ; for a case might occur where there was plenty of gold in the country, and yet where the circulation would be unsafe. He did not think that the country bankers would be in duced to increase their circulation in the manner appre hended, for all that the Bill did was to give to them that security by which they would be enabled to pay with Bank of England paper instead of gold, thus securing the per petual trensmission of the precious metals from place to place. "With respect to the clause relating to the limita tion within 65 miles round London, he could only assure the Noble Duke that there had been no intention on the part of the Government to alter the law. Whether the law had been generally understood or not was not so much to the point, as that they had acted according to the law as it really was. On the opinion of the Law Officers of the Crown upon the law, as it stood, the Government had acted. The engagement made by them with the Bank was, that all the privileges they before had should be secured to them, and the Government, in proposing the &rinse in question, had entertained no desire either to give or to take away from the Bank any one of those privi leges, but strictly to act upon the law as it stood. Lord WYNFORD said that the Government had cer tainly taken a most extraordinary course to effect the object thus stated by the Noble Marquis. If the profes sional advisers of the Government had really thought that the law was as declared in the clause in question, why had more than the usual declaratory clause been inserted ? He believed, however, that legal men bad been unanimous in their opinion that under the existing laws no banks what ever could he established within the specified limits, and there was only one banking house in London, that of Messrs. Glyn, whose practice as to the number of part ners differed from that of the remainder. This discovery of the supposed meaning of the law was at least quite new, and it was surprising indeed that commercial men, usually 00 acute in matters relating to the advancement of their own affairs, should not before now have discovered ac t h ios eoewhomry to real meaningl theiri o of the laws, and h a v e a ppli e d th e i r di s• v own advantage. There was an authority tv would name in support of the view he had s t a ted,—tbat of Adam Smith, who declares his opinion that the Bank of England had, by the law, an exclusive privilege of banki ng of every description within the before mentioned limits. It was clear also, from the correspon dence between the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Bank Directors, that, in the early period of the progress of the Bill, it was supposed by all parties that the Bank of England had th e exclus i ve monopoly of b ank i ng o f every description within the pr e s cr ib e d li m it s , and as the basis of the arrangement waythat all the privileges bithertg enjoyed by the Bank ehould now be confirmed to them, he (Lord Wynford) did not see upon what prin ciple of justice the other disposition had been subsequently made. The Acts of Parliament to which he would refer as supporting the construction of the law up to that point acted upon were as follows :—By the Sth and 9th of William 111., chap. 20, it was enacted by section 18, that " during the continuance of the corporation of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England no other bank, or any other corporation, society, fellowship, com pany, or constitution, in the nature of a bank, shall he erected, or established, permitted, suffered, countenanced, or allowed by Act of Parliament within this kingdom ;" and he (Lord Wynford) contended that those words re ferred to every description of bank. Then, by the 6th of Anne, c. 22, s. 9, it was enacted, " That it shall not be lawful for any body politic or corporate whatsoever, united or to be united, in covenant or partnership, exceeding the number of six persons in that part of Great Britain called England, to borrow, owe, or take up, any sum or sums of money on their bills or notes payable on demand, or at any lets time than six months from the borrowing thereof." This Act was passed, because, since the passing of the former Act, banks of the description there referred to had been set up, which " frauds" it became necessary to put an end to. And to prevent the existence of any doubt on this subject, the 15 Gen. IL, cap. 13, was passed, giving to the Bank of England the privilege of exclusive banking, and also enacting that no other bank could be erected, established, or allowed. Precisely the very same words were to be found in every Act of Parlia ment relative to this question, down to the 39th and 40th of Geo. 111. which was the statute under which the Bank at the present moment held their charter. Could it be denied, then, that the establishment of joint-stock banks of deposit in the metropolis, or within 65 miles of it, was an infringement upon the acknowledged privileges of the Bank of England ? He begged to tell the Noble Lord opposite, that all the evils which he thought likely to result from the institution of banks of issue in London would as certainly follow the institution of hanks of deposit. The Bank of England had been properly described as an instrument of great public utility, one great advantage at tending which was the power it possessed of regulating the exchanges, by contracting or extending its issues, as the circumstances of particular seasons might seem to re quire. But how could the Bank of England perform this office with effect, if other banks, possessing an enormous capital (and he had heard of one to be started with a capi• tal of 8,000,000/. or 10,000,000/.), and holding a con siderable quantity of bills upon the Bank of England, were allowed to be established ? He was quite sure that these banks would have the power, when it suited their own particular interest, to render abortive all the endeavours of the 13 ink of England properly to regulate the exchanges. But, independently of these considerations, he contended that the privileges of the Bank ought not and could not be taken away by Parliament; because no public body whatever bad the power to continue to commit acts of injustice, and the principle now attempted to be applied to the Bank of England would, if acted upon, establish a precedent by which similar injustice might be done to every other class of the community. There was another Act of Parliament which appeared to him most decisive on the subject, and which, he was persuaded, must by some accident have escaped the observation of those whose duty it had been to draw up the present Bill—he alluded to the 7th Geo. IV., chap. 46, by which the privileges of the Bank of England were limited to a boundary of 65 miles round London. What was the inference he drew from this Act of Parliament ? That no banks consisting of more than six partners could, until the passing of this Act, be esta blished in any part of England. But if his Majesty's Ministers thought that the Bank of England had no right to the enjoyment of exclusive privileges to the extent to which it now claimed them, why did they not at once acquiesce in the proposal which the Bank tnade,—uamely, to introduce a clause declaring the continuance of all the privileges granted to the Bank, except so far as they might have beer. altered by the 7th Geo. IV. ? It a - peered from this that the Bank was canaille! wit • law as it stood, and he could not conceive what pretence it was possible to put forward for the rejection of so fair a proposition on the part of the Bank. Their Lordships were, however, told that Government had taken the advice of the Law Officers of the Crown, and they were called upon to pay due deference to their opi nion. Yet, with all respect to those learned persons, be must be permitted to say that their minds were liable to be swayed by prejudices; and at all events he thought that it was not fit that the rights of the sub. ject should be decided upon by the Law Officers of the Crown.—(Hear.) Let the courts of justice remain open to the Bank of England, and, if the opinion of the law officers of the Crown was correct, the Bank must neces sarily fail in any endeavour to prevent the establishment of banks of deposit in the metropolis consisting of more than six partners. It was but fair, however, to allow the ' Bank an opportunity of having that question decided ; but of such opportunity it was deprived by the clause to which the attention of the House had been called. Whatever the law might he, the practice for the last 150 years had been for the Bark of England to enjoy exclusive privileges in London; and there was no justice in binding any party to a bargain to which he might have consented from a misunderstanding of the position in which he stood. He was aware that the Bank had since agreed to the proposed plan of Government; but for what reason? Because it could not resist. The Bark protested against the injustice of the measure ; but if Parliament resolved to commit an injustice, what could the Bank of England, or any other body of persons, do ? lie confessed he felt great apprehensions on the subject; for he was afraid les this rivalry in banking shotfid lead to the derangement o the monetary system of , the country. When Parliament was pleased to extend the privileges of banking all over the country, except within 65 miles of London, it was re- quir,d that the names of all the eopar,ners in every bank should be sent to the Stamp-office. The Earl of RIPON—That regulation refers to banks of issue. Lord WYNFORD was ready to admit that it applied to banks of issue, but he would ask his Noble and Learned Friend on the Woolsack how it would be possible to ob tain justice against those great companies which were about to'be established, unless it was made imperative that the names of the members should be registered ? The public ought to be allowed an opportunity of knowing what was the state of their balances, and it was not right that the Bank of England should be looked upon with more jealousy than these new banking establishments. He certainly should be very glad to have the opinion of the Judges on the point, whether or not, under the existing law, banks of deposit consisting of more than six partners could legally be established in the metropolis. He was told that it would be difficult to assemble the Judges at this period of the year; but he was ready to say, that if any one of them could be found to support .the opinion on which the clause in the Bill was founded, he would at once forego his opposition to it. He begged, therefore, to submit to their Lordships, as an amendment upon the original question, the following motion :—" That before the House resolves itself into a Committee upon this Bill, the opinion of the Judges be obtained on the following question,—whether, under the existing law, a copartner ship, consisting of more than six partners, can carry on the business of bankers in London, or within 65 miles thereof, though such bankers do not borrow or take up up money on their bills or notes payable on demand, or within any period less than six months." The LORD CHANCELLOR should trespass but a very few minutes on the attention of the House, while be endeavoured to answer the legal argument put forward by his Noble and Learned Friend. In the first plae, however, he begged to state that he would be the last man to express an approval of any measure, if he thought that its results would be to lead, by however long a process, to a depreciation of the currency of the kingdom. It was absolutely and imperatively necessary for the safety of all interests in this country, mercantile or otherwise for the stability of trade and agriculture--that there should be no further tampering with the currency..._( Hear, hear) —and that no attempt or proceeding should he sanctioned by Parliament or the Executive Government which could by any remote possibility cause any change in the value of the circulating medium.—(Hear, hear.) How it could be said that the present measure would cause a deprecia tion, or create a monopoly in the remote provinces in favour of the Bank of England, and therefore lead to a diminution in the value of its papa, he was at a loss to imagine. With much more reason, in his opinion, the measure might be described as calculated to make the paper of the Bank of England bear a premium. But lie believed, that in reality the plan proposed by Government would ba found to produce neither the one effect nor the other. Ilia Noble and Learned Friend had said that the Bank of England had not been liberally treated by the Govern meat, sow, for his part, he must say that he should , disapprove o f any measure not founded on good war,ls that company ; but he begged to remind ae-- obl /and Lear ne d Lord, who had talked so la rge ly of the advantages . conferred on th e coun t ry b y t hi s esta-, blishment, that there h a d b een a rec i proc i ty of benefit ; and be was greatly mistaken who thought the advantage hail been ail on one side.—(Hear, hear.) Frnm 1797, when a little gentle violence was used against them, and when they were prohibited by art order in Council from paying their notes in gold—a proceeding to which they were so averse that the order in Council was found to he insufficient for its purpose, and it became absolutely ne. cessary to pass an Act of Parliament to compel them, contrary to their most anxious desire, to suspend cash' payments—(Laughter) —from 1797, he repeated, until 1819, the fact was that they did cease to pay their notes in gold, and they so greatly benefitted by the vio lence done them, that their dislike to it gradually lessened, until at last they became gradually reconciled to it.--- (Laughter.) It was also a fart, that during that period bank stock rose to 2801. He thought these were circumstances which showed that the bargain which the Bank made with the public for thirty years was not a very hard one for themselves.—(Hear.) The Nobla and Learned Lord said that the Bank had been obliged to yield to the Government; but he (the Lord Chancellor could see no symptoms of a yielding disposition on their part. During the latter period of the negotiation they resisted the Government, and if they had minded to hold out they might have done so, and they would have done so,—for let not their Lordships deceive them selves on the subject—if they had not thought that they had made upon the whole an exceedingly good bar gain.—(Hear, hear.) Indeed he knew that many per. sons considered the bargain to lie a good deal better, as regarded the Bank, than it ought to have been, and that if there were any party which had not obtained such good terms as it was entitled to, that party was the public. His opinion was, however, that neither the public nor the Bank had any right to complain ; and be was sure that the Bank Directors would laugh exceedingly if they were told that any one fancied they had been overreached in the transaction. He would now address himself shortly to the legal argument of his Noble and Learned Friend. By the h'ith Geo. H. it was enacted that no other bank but the Bank of England should he established or allowed by Parliament. So far this favoured the argument of his Noble and Learned Friend, who, in referring to that Act, had contented himself with quoting shouldwcw l those heearaert el yv banksewnp or, o ot r ov d bre s oaed . fn Ityai issue;wcacompany But mutl ph eaf t fono h rybr e ioninf s tnk t su cceedi n g C. body. ie e enn e , t d nte ll „:edn g xpe cdote p loei a ttd r iosic t nt agb o otee f r: hp t e: h ro, no e rthip: ,im:b clause rtibateeti red of six, to borrow money on their bills or notes payable on demand, &c." These last words, he contended, proved that banks of issue were intended to be prohibited by the Act ;*and when the Legislature, in William's time, enacted a general prohibition, the words used were exceedingly different. In the Act passed in the reign of King Wil liam nothing was said aboutborrowing or taking up money on bills, but the restriction was general, and depended on the continuance of the Corporation of the Bank of England. When he looked to the 7th of George the Fourth, to which the Noble and Learned Lord had referred, he found in it a great additional argument in frvour of the construction put on these Acts by the Law Officers of the Crown, for the first part of the enactment was couched in those general expressions employed in the former Acts,-1 circumstance clearly showing that the Legislature placed the same construc tion on them as that given by the Law Officers of the Crown. The fact that the Law Officers of the Crown were opposed, on this point, to the Noble and Learned Lord wan a sufficient answer to his assertion that all lawyers were unanimous in their opinion nn the subject. The Noble and Learned Lord was equally correct in his state ment that no difference of opinion prevailed among bankers with respect to the state of the law. He had heard of more than one instance of a banking establishment being formed in London, consisting of upwards of six partners ; and since he had taken his seat on the woo!sack that evening, he had been told by a Noble Friend that a highly respectable firm openly carried on the business .of b an ki ng at the west end of the town,'the number of the partners being eight, until it was reduced by the death of one of the partners to seven. The Noble and Leaned Lord concluded by expressing his disapproval of thr amendment (moved by Lord Wynford), as he conceive that great inconvenience and waste of time must he consequences of their Lordships agreeing, at the pr season of the year, to call the Judges before them. Lord BEXLEY was not disposed to quarrel w. - -ai provisions of the present Bill, but felt upon to object to the legal tender clause, end still to that clause which went to declare that the law did h; prohibit the establishment of joint stock deposit- bank within sixty-five miles of Lon , 'oM- One fact was decisive, that neither the Bank of ,gland nor the public, believed that such was the la.'v—namely, the fact that, on Ge one hand, no such joint stock banks were ever thought of during the joint stock mania, while, on the other hand, forty-eight hours had not elapsed from the moment it was promulgated, on the authority of the law officers of the Crown, that such might he legally established, before a prospectus, involving a capital of ten million, was issued and acted upon.—(Hear.) Surely the fact that not only the Attorney and Solicitor-General were at variance with such a man as Sir Edward Sugden, and the Lord Chan cellor, and Lord Wynford, on the interpretation of the law on this head, ought to make that House, the Court of last appeal, pause ere it pronounced that to be law, which a more cautious scrutiny !night prove was ; at least, they ought not to commit themselves t ll they hail taken the opinion of the twelve Judges on this im portant and much contested point. The Earl of RIPON begged leave to remind the Noble Baron, that the very objection creed against the legal tender clause—namely, that it would prevent a Bank of England note from having as " omnipotent a value" in Westminster Hall as on the Stock Exchange, was one of its recommendations to its framers. Those who con tended that it would tend to increase the issues of the country banker, overlooked the circumstance that the Bank of England had an interest in checking these over issues—the interest of responsibility.—(Hear.) •Then, with respect to the allegation that the clause declaratory of the right under the law of the formation of joint stoel - i deposit hanks within 65 miles of London, which Noble Lords opposite said was contrary to the 7th Geo. IV., and a breach of faith and public honour towards the Bank, it was enough to remind the Haute of the circumstance, attendant upon the enactment of that statute. Those who took the trouble to inquire into these circumstances would find that that Act was pissed entirely with a view to cor rect the then enormous ills of overissnes on the part of country bankers, and had nothing whatever to say to the Bank deposits.—( Hear.) The amendment was then negatived. and the House resolved itself into a Committee on the Bill. The Ist and 2d clauses were agreed to, with merely verbal amendments. On the 3d clause being read, Lord WYNFORD moved, as an amendment, that the entire clauq; be omitted, and that a clause ensuring the Bank of England all and the exclusive privileges granted by the 39th and 40th of George 111., and confirmed by the 7th George IV., be substituted. The clause as it stood was a breach of public honour towards the Bank, and he really knew not why Ministers refused to wait far the opinion of the 12 Judges, unless they were pretty confident that that opinion would he adverse to their pro ceedings. The Learned Lord on the 'Woolsack hal re ferred to the case of a joint stock hank in the West end, as a proof that the Bank of England —no less than the partners in that concern—did not believe that the law prohibited the establishment of such banks. All Le would then say, that, if such were the case, he was greatly deceived if the Bank of England did not issue a writ and bring the matter to a legal issue; and very probably the Learned Lord would have another opportunity of stating his opinion when hearing the case in that House as the highest court of appeal. The LORD CHANCELLOR could not but wonder at and admire the praiseworthy zeal which prompted his Learned Friend to thus interfere in behalf of a hotly who bad honourably proved their ability to judge what was and what was not inimical to their interests ; ar4 who, being the parties not only most interested but most competent to judge of the tendency of the present elauset, had expressed their satisfaction with its provisi,ns.— (Hear.) To adopt, therefore, his Learned Friend's pro.. position would be not only a work of supererogation, but an implied assertion either that the Bank Directors were not competent judges of their own interests, or that they unworthily shrunk from their duty thwart's these over whose interests they presided. He was sure that they were too enlightened to follow the hint of his Learned Friend, and issue a writ against the deposit bank to which he had alluded. Lord \VYNFORD said that his Learned Friend was in error in asserting that the fink Directors were satisfi,: , ,i with the provisions ol th e p resent e l au .e. l' t ' r ha ck than the 9th instant, in a letter proelot.rd, i t ili t o , t t p l , as t s h e e r y t distinctly stated that it literally and s ubvantially t „ take away those exclusive privileges which they eni , ;yyd under Acts of Parliament; hut that, in order to prev,nt the commerce of the country from injured dday in settling Ole question this session, th ey submitted t , .) its adoption. —(dear.)
