Sir 14. W. RIDLEY said, the observations made by the
:Right Hon. Gentleman induced him to state, that the Bank he
was concerned with, and others in the North, were nor among
those to which the Right Hon. Gentleman alluded. He could
assure the Right Hon. Gentleman, that instead of withdrawing
their circulation, they found it necessary to extend it. Their
object bad been to increase their culation tether than with-
draw it.
Mr. HUSKISSON said, the Bank in whiCh.the Hon. Bro.
net was concerned formcd no part of the benks\eThided to. t

and Mr. Huskisson's was substituted and carried.

Mr. HUI%IE then brought up another clause, that all banks
should make a return every month of the number of Bank of
England and country notes they had in circulation.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not feel
any positive objection to some arrangement of the kind pro.
posed, but he should have been better satisfied if the Hon.
Member had not introduced it at that particular time. It was
not his wish to aggravate any unpleasant feeling among the
country bankers. There might be some advantage in return.
ing an account of country bank circulation, rather than taking
it from the number of stamps, but it was important to thepub•

Mr. HUME said the Right Hon. Gentleman could not do
more evil to the Country Banks than he had done. Howeve4
he should withdraw the amendment.

pound notes a preference in cases of bankruptcy. Every poor

Mr. BICKFORD could not avoid expressing his utter sato,
nishmt nt at the clause proposed to be introduced into the Small
Note Bill by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, more particu•
larly after the very strong language that Right Hon. GerElJ..
man and his Colleagues bad used in reprobation of the a nail
notes. It appeared to him (Mr. R.) to have for its ol je Ato
transfer the power of issuing small notes from the country
bankers to the Bank of England, and ultimately to perpetuate
the issue of them. Mr. It. would not trespass at that late b-ur
of the night upon the patience of the House, but content him-
self with asking the Right lion. the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer whether it was his intention to make Bank of DOJO.
Notes a legal tender from Country Bankers in paymentetindr
own Notes ?—[To which the Right Hon. Gentleman answered,
" Certainly not."l—Mr. R. then observed, that in his judge
