EQUITABLE LOAN BANK COMPANY.
To the
RIGHT HON. THE LORD MAYOR, ALDERMEN, AND
COMMON COUNCIL.
GENTLEXEN-It has been learnt with surprise and regret that
a Court of Common Council of the Corporation of London is to be
held to-morrow, to resolve on an Opposition to a Bill introduced
on behalf of this Company to Parliament.
That Resolution it Is however hoped that the Court will not
adopt, unless convinced that the Enactment of that Bill must tend
to prejudice the Corporate Rights or die Individual Interests of this
Metropolis.
Allow me, therefore, to apprise you, that the Bill does not create
or establish the Company, who arc alr:ady established—nor does
it confer on them any one exclusive privilege or right. The Bill is
only a Bill to enable the Company to sue and be sued in the name
of their Clerk. It therefore cannot be disapproved by the highest
legal and financial authorities in either House of Parliament, who
have repeatedly declared that such Bills are as convenient to the
Public as to Companies—because they facilitate proceedings against
Companies if they should incur a debt, or be guilty of any wrong.
Nor can the object of the Company be more exceptionable than
their Bill. That sole object is to advance Money on Goods, at
Legal Interest, to Persons who need Temporary Loans. It origi-
nated in the just complaints made by the poor, as well as trades.
men and manufacturers, of great difficulty in obtaining occa.
sional resistance without the payment of excessive Interest and a
ruinous lose. To the extent of ten pounds Pawnbrokers are allowed
to lend money on goods; and the Company will be compelled by
the Bill to charge twenty per cent. less interest than Pawnbrokers
on all advances to that amount. By that abmement of twenty per
cent. the Company will of course proportionably and greatly relieve
the very indigent, as well as diminish the number of crimes, which
the facilities afforded for a deposit of stolen goods has long tended
to increase. _ _

But a vast multitude of persons daily need the advance of lar.
ger sums than 101. and they have no means of supply, but by ap-
plication to usurious money lenders or to Pawnbrokers, who will
advance such greater sums, but charge fifteen or twenty per cent.
on the money advanced. That industrious and numerous class
the Company will especially assist ; for to all such persons they
will lend money at five per cent., making no other charge than such
legal charge for warehousing as will just reimburse that expense.
To you it must be obvious that a Company with such objects
must be a public benefit rather than an offence; and that it is
a Company which creates no monopoly and will interfere with no
Banker, Merchant, Shopkeeper, or Artisan, but which, by assist-
ing the needy or die industrious in the time of distress, will support
individual and public credit, and promote individual comfort and
the general good.
As, however, the goods deposited with them may occasionally be
unredeemed, and the Company may direct their Agents to sell such
goods, and charge a moderate commission on the sales—it has ap-
peared to some Auctioneers employed by Pawnbrokers that their
business may be decreased. And it will be for you to determine
whether such possible circumstance to very few persons will require
or justify the interposition of your Court. You will perceive that
Auctioneers generally cannot possibly be affected by the operations
of the Company—unless so far as sales of goods at great loss and
much expense may r.-metimes be prevented by the accommoda.
tion which the Company will afford, by the Loan of Money on
Goods, that must otherwise be rather .tacrilieed than sold.
Indeed the Company in some measure will co-operate with your
Court, who promote the exertions of young Tradesmen by the loan of
money, and who thereby hare frequently produced moat useful results.
After this correct and candid statement of the objects of the Com-
pany and of their Bill, it is hoped that you will not allow the Court
and the Corporation of London to intermeddle in this matter, eor to
interfere in the manner proposed ; but that you will rather consider
the Company and their Bill entitled to your individual approbation
I and to public support.
1 have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your devoted obedient Servant,
JOHN HINDE, Chief Clerk.
