ON BANKERS.

" Whereas doubts have arisen as to the obliwations of
bankers with respect to cross-written draughts ; ern'
whereas it would conduce to the ease of commerce, the
security of psoperty, and the prevention of crime if hold•
ers of draughts on bankers pa-able to bearer on demand
were enabled effectually to dir.ct the puinent of the
same to be made only to their own or some other banker :
Be it therefore enactsd by the Queen's Most Exedisnt
Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the
Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons, in this
present Parliament assembled, and by the authoiity of
the same, as follows :
"1. In every case' ivhere a draught on any banker
Made payable to bearer on demand bears across its face
an addition. in written or stamped letters, of the name
of any banker, such draught shall be made payable only
to the hanker nhose name is so-arlded.
"2. Where such a draught bears across its face an
addition of the words 'arid company,' or any other words,
in full or abbreviated, by which •it may he reasonably
understood that it is intemled that such draught is to be
paid to some banker, such draught shall be payable only
to rpm° hanker.

"3. Whore a ch a draught bears across its face an
addition of the names of two or more bankerA, not being
partners, so that it may reasonably be doubted to which
of such bankers it is intended that such draught is to be
paid, the banker on whom such draught i►s made may at
his d►scretion, refuse payment thereof, notwithstanding
that be have in his lands funds of the drawer sufficient `
to pay the same, and such banker shall not bailable to be
sued for any damage incurred by reason of such refusal.
" 4. In the construction of this act the word 'banker'
shall include any pers-,,,n or persons or corporation, or
joint-stock or other company, acting as a bank r or
bankers."

thousands of persons of all ranks in society from Du Barry's

history of the world records nothing so unanimous Ant Ufa.:
versal as the testimonies which have been receivod of the
auspicious effects of this diet ; and when fifty thousand known
individuals have given their personal evidence to• the swum
purpose, nothing but piejudice and stupidity could withhold
concurrence from this gen6ml verdict. In the list'of- dis-
