EXTRACTS FROM THE PAMPHLET.

" Did iliiesfor savings meet with neglect ? were the depositors
left to them Ives ? driven to public-houses fur meetings, and to
landlords for treasurers? as were the members of Benefit Societies.
No, school-rooms, chapels, and proper offices were selected for their
business, honorary subscribers came forward to their support, house.'
keepers and parish officers formed their committees, Members of
Parliament their trustees, and Noblemen their patrons; and then,
with all the disadvantages of ignorance sad neglect on the one
hand, and the benefit of extensive patronage and encouragement on
the other, the two institutions were compared, to show the superb-
rity of the Banks over the Benefit Societies."
• • •

" Will tltc advocates for savings banks be easily pomaded to
ace their annual premiums instead of insuring their houses against
tire? Certainly not. Vet they recommend the mechanic to place
his money in the bank to provide against sickness and old age,
whilst they know that sickness, like fire, though somewhat slower
in its operations, may, in a short time, exhaust the savings of fifty
years, and, like fire too, may.come suddenly before the first year
expires." • •
" The best friends of the working daises will assays intreat
them to provide against the manifold wants of sickness and of old
age, by means of respectable and well-cone:ucted benefit societies,
the.paynients to which ought to form a part of their current and
positive expenses. To those who have anything to spare after this
a savings bank may be useful ; the necessities of old age being first
secured by their club, the mechanic and labourer, through the me-
dium of the bank, may be able to add comforts ; but no individual
either befriends his neighbour or his country, by enjoining a reli-
ance upon individual savings as a security against casualty, which
may overtake a man in an hour, and in a few months sweep away
[heaving, of a whole life." • • •
" There are so few actuaries who can or will pay attention to the
rules, that this important part is generally neglected, and the rules
and tables are submitted, with all the faults of the former, to the
magistrates of the county in which the Society is to be holden,
whose sanction sometimes renders, as it were, the most intolerable
contradictions, the most abominable nonsense, part of the Law of
the land." • • •
I du not recommend that additional powers be given to the Com-
mission • the Magistrates arc already enabled, by the authority of
an Act of Parliament, to publish instructions, to draw up Rules for
new Benefit Societies, to refuse to sanction Amendments to the
Rules of those already formed, until they are conformable to the
law, to encourage improvement, and so on ; but three.fourths of
these duties in souse counties, and the whole of them in others, are
left unperformed. It is shown, I should hope, clearly, that this
neglect is highly injurious, and it is only the transfer of these:
powers to an efficient Board which I advocate, and which, I again
repeat, is necessary to the prosperity of Friendly Societies.
