very diffeirent from what was the case stated in in'
preamble of the A 6 of 1720 for giving Charters,'
This Resolution was opposed by several Gentle'
men, and particularly by Mr. Rowcroft and M"
Marryat, as wholly unnecessary, as there was ST
reason to 'anticipate that the same objeaions could
be urged mow as were urged in '7O, and therefore
that it wis not necessary to answer them.
On the Resolution for appointing a Committee,
- - Mr. WIDOD said, although he telt the strongest
attachment and gratitude to that Establishment of
'which he' had been so long a Member,-yet he could
not see ally thing unjust or injurious. to their hue•
rests in granting a Charter to this new Company.
Mr. Annear here observed, that Mr. Wood (nu
~
indeed owe gratitude and attachment to Lloyd's, In
which he ,had made much the .greater part of his

from what quarter the new. Company was to derive
its profits,' unless from what they would otherwise
have. ,
