PROTEST AGAINST THE THIRD READING OF THE
SCOTTISH BANKING BILL.
1. Because I can see no possible benefit likely to result
from this Bill, and none has been stated in the debate, except
in the event of such an emergency as has never yet occurred,
which in my opinion it is rather calculated to occasion, and
which it supplies no new means of meeting.
2. Because it will at once check and ultimately put an end
to that competition which has heretofore existed amongst
the banks of Scotland, and which bas rendered banking re-
markable for cheapness, efficiency, and safety, and highly
beneficial to all the interests in that country.
3. Because, though I consider the evils hence resulting
quite certain, they will not be so palpable as to invite or
suggest a repeal of this law. They will not exhibit them-
selves by any calamity, or produce any immediate distress,
but they will silently prevent that advance in prosperity
which might otherwise have been attained. If similar pro-
visions had been enacted twenty years ago, it is evident that
Scotland would not have enjoyed the_ advantages which are
universally admitted to have resulted from its banking sys-
tem ; but no one would have known that, but for those
enactments, it would have been more prosperous; in like
manner, hereafter, as no one will be able to say what would
have been the state of the country if this Bill had not
passed, so no one will be able to trace the amount of evil
which it will have produced, or of good which it will have
prevented. RADNOR.
For the first reason, ROSEBERY.
