From the low rate of interest, it has become an impor-
tant object with many persons, besides the poor and
working classes, to make deposits in the Savings' Banks,
for which they obtain, at no trifling loss to the Public,

stands, the deposits of each person are restricted to a
limited amount per Atinnns ; but it has been found that
the restriction is easily eyaded ; and that any individual
may contrive to invest a considerable property in Sav-
ings' Banks, and thus obtain without risk of any kind,
benefits which the Legislature never intended for per-
sons in his circumstances. •
