fIIONSIDERATIONB on the Necessity of Appointing
lJ • BOARD of COMMISSIONERS for the PROTEC-

EXTRACTS FROM THE PAMPIILET.

" Did banks for sayings meet with neglect ? were the depositors
left to themselves ? driven to public-houses for meetings, and to
landlords tor treasurers ? as were the members of Benefit Societies.
No, school-rooms, ehriiels and proper officw 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 Noh:emen their patrons; and then,
with all the disadvantages of ignorance slid neglect on the one,
hand, and the benefit of extensive patronage and encouragement on
the other, the two institutions were compared, to sou the superio-
rity of the Banks over the Benefit Societies."
• • •

" Will the advocates for savings banks be easily persuaded to
aye their annual premiums instead of insuring their houses against
the? Certainly not. Yet they recommend the mechanic to place
his money in the bank to provide against sickness and old age,
whilst they know that bicknets, like Lre, though somewhat slower
in its operations, may, in a shot time, exhaust the savings of fifty
years, and, like fire too, may come sudden 4 before the first year
expires." • • •
•• The best friends of the working classes will always Introit
them to provide against the manifold wants of sickness and of old
age, by means of respectable and well-conducted benefit societies,
the payments to which ought to form a part of their current and
positive expenses. To those who have anything to spare afta this
a savings bank may be useful; the necessities of old age being first
secured by their club, the mechanic and labourer, through the mu-
ilium 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 tn-. ast casualty, which
may overtake a man in an hour, and in a few months sweep away
the savings 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 submittal, with all the faults of the former, to the
magistrates of the county in which the Society is to be holden,
whom, sanction sometimes renders, as it were, the molt intolerable
contradictions, the most abominable nonsense, part of the law of
the land." • • •

I do not recommend that additional powers be given to the Com-
mission ; the 3lagistrates are already enabled, by the authority of
an Act o Parliament, to publish instructions, to thaw up Rules for
new Benefit Societies, to refuse to sanction Amendments to the
Rules of those already formed, until they arc conformable to the
law, to encourage improvement, and so on; but three. fourths of
these duties in some counties, and the whob: of them in others, are
left unperformed. It is shewn, 1 should hope, clearly, that this
neglect is highly injurious, and it is enly the transfer or these
powers to an efficient Board which I ativoente and which, I again
repeat, is necessary to the prosperity of Friendly Societies.
In the press, and will be published in a few days, by the same
