This great increase a Datum it is hoped, will of itself be deemed
a concinnng pref.( that the Committee hare not been sleeping at
their posts ; but that, in proportion as they have seen the fraudu-
lent tc.f.cksrs increase in their exertions to rub the public, thty
hate diensvoured to cesium.: them nefarious efforut by an uaif
energy on their parts.
Althooli the Committee consider that the principal ebject of
tilts Society is to •• prevent" fraud, by cautioning their Members
"paean those who practise it, they have not confined their exertions
to this point, but have also applied themselres successfully to oh-
Min its " punishment."
During the yea: which is just concluded, they have, at a great
expeam, brought to ,justice a gag of conspirators, from abuse
fraudulent practices many houses in this metropolis were sufftrers ;
they have convicted an individual of forgery on Barkers who are
Members of this Society; and they have carried on several minor
prosecutions, iii which the :Members have been saved trout all
expense.
For tbe use of the Members who had destroyed or mislaid their
annual recapitubaloos, the Committee, In the month of June last,
collected together, Is cue volume, those fur the "last fifteen years,"
and circulated them among all the Members.
. .

At the approach of the.'" Fiftieth Anniversary" of the institu-
tion, which will occur on the 2.5:11 of March next, it is gratifying
to the Committee to feel thu its energies are as vigorous as at its
tint establishment; and though they cannot but lament the con.
tinned necessity of such a Union for mutual protection, they derive
consolation in the conviction that their endeavours have been as
successful as they its necessary.
The Committee request that the Members will continue in their
" confidential correspondence" with the Secretaries, to report the
various cases which come under their cognisance. By acting on
these communication alone ; by paying no regard to " anonymous
Of OteffilCd infonnatiop." and by not employing any "paid in.
formers," the respectability of the Society has been hitherto sup-
ported, and its operations been rendered effectual ; and the
Committee are satisfied that they cannot better execute the trust
reposed in them than by letting the experience of the put be their
guide for the future.
