wriely unfair to call thus upon an individual for an
account of all the profits of his office, after
ouhese. had
received a vote of compensation from the Hlt
eel not any part of the duty of the High Bailiff of
Westminster to attend the hustings at Elections, till
that duty was imposed upon him by an Act of Par-
lament. He concluded by moving that the Order
he discharged.
Mr. BANKES contended, that it was the uniform
iraerice of parli.imeg to require an account of this
;Ind where a rota of compensation was asked. It had
;rely been done in th; case of the Royal Dukes; and.
war not in that of the High Bailiff of Westmituter;
oh; had submitted to such an order, both in 1811

and 1814.

.I.I%.ISCUiTOSH, Sir J. NEWPORT, Sir E. BRYDGEE,

frn of the High Bailiff was not for an increase of his
Llowance, but merely for a compensation for injury
vim& consequence of the negligent wording of,
at Act of Parliament, there was no necessity to re-
an account of his emoluments.

THI SAS? INDIA DOCKS.
Mr. B. SHAW said, he had to submit a motion,
tolling on a Palle Company to
.produce their ac-
touts, according to Act of Parliament. In 1803
a Company was established, called the East India
Dock Company. He was not now called on to eater
into the merits of that Company, or to comment on
its particular provisions, except en one clause, which
vas a provision that the
.Company should annually
produce their accounts to Parliament ; and it was
also provided, that if at any tine the profits of the
Company should, after the payment of all charges,
oford a dividend of more than 10 per cent. the sew-
plus should go to reduce the rates paid by vessels
, under the Act constituting the Company,
obliged to go into those Docks. He did not
to say the profits .had ever exceeded that snm
percent. but he wished to have the accounts
to Company, to see if ill the charges which they
made were such as they were authorized under the
t to make, especially a charge of 41,9311.135. 2d.
certain'improvements, &c. not provided for out
their increased capital, although according to the
mum before the House there was a balance of ca-
hand of upwards of
.68,000/. .The Act re-
!sued the Company to lay annual accounts-before
?ornament, stating their receipts and expenditure,
they had not done so. He now called on the
(+a• y to comply with this provision, which. they
. not done. If they now refused to do so he should
unsider it was because they could not fairly do so.

to reduce this heavy cfiarge as much as they
td, under the previsions of the Act. The Hon.
concluded by moving for the particular
:punts to which he had alluded..
ASTELL opposed the Motion, which was
led on mistake. The charge was not Ms. per
as stated by the Honourable Gentleman, but
‘Sl4.s.; and of this sum 2s. was returned to yes-
in the Outward Dock ; and they had other ad-
ia3cA. So the sum for repairs, which had been
at 41,0001. was in fact only 13,090/. , The

FORGERY OF. BANK: NOTES.
A person from the Bank of England presented
vertain Returns of the number of persons prosecuted
for forging, uttering, and having Forga Bensk,Neies

in their possession.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER toot
this opportunity of requesting Sir James Mackintodt
to postpone his motion. on the above subject, in order
that the Report of the Budget might be brought up
and discussed to-night. It. was Extremely important,
that the- latter- should not be delayed.
Sir J. MACKINTOSH expressed his willingness 4
notrithltanding the frequent postponements of this
subject, provided it were understood that it should
come on early to-morrow (this day), or on Friday;
before the discussion of the great general question of,
which this formed an important branch.
The CHANCELLOR ofthe EXCHEQUER said.
that he could enter into no engagement either for to-
morrow er Friday—in consequence of which
Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH rose, and reminded
the House that two months ago he had moved for
the accounts which had now been presented. He.
had now to move for some accounts' in addl... su to
those which had been presented, none of which would
be objected to, but one. That to which objections
would, he understood, be made, was, the account of
the expense of the prosecution for forgerici. To this
it would he objected, that it would be an interference
with the private concerns of the flank, to eall.for
suet. an account. In answer to that objection it
would become necessary to prove, that since the Dank
Restriction, and the consequent increase of crime
which lie could prove to have flowed from that mea-
sure, any accounts relating tg the offence of forgery
could no longer be considered a private concern.—
He should thew that the present system of currency
~created an enormous public evil, tainting and cor-
rupting the morals of the people ; that it had in-
cruised crime to a degree unexampled in the history
of law and of society. While he thus proved that
the matter was not only public, but a public question
of the highest importance, and that• it was 'conse-
quently a right of the House to demand all necessary
information respecting it, he should also perform
A service in exciting a discussion on a branch
the question of the Bank Restriction, which would
bear to he discussed separately, and which would
disencumber the body of the argument from the de-
tails with which it might otherwise be overlaid.—
In considering the increase of the crime of Forgery,
he had to proceed on imperfect materials, as some of
the returns. had- only that evening been laid on the
table; but the materials were sufficient to warrant
the consequences which he should deduce. By the
return of prosecutions (for there were no returns of
executions), it appeared, that in seven years before I
the Bank Restriction, there was no prosecution on
the part of the 'Bank Of 'England for Forgery. In,
seven years after (orpittiAg 1797, which was between
the two periods) there wtsfectwo hundred and twenty-
. two convictions—Vieurlirefit), In the fourteen years
before the Ristrietione gist were four prosecutions.
In the fourteen pears'aftii, theie were four hundred
and sixty-nine..-{dace keg,-!) Of the prosecutions
on the part of the Bank, there were no accounts pre-
vious to the year 1782. But if we calculated for
twenty-one years by the ordinary rules of proportion,
after the ratio of the fourteen years, the twenty-one
years before the Restriction would have produced six
prosecutions. The twenty-one years which had suc-
ceeded it had produced eight hundred and fifty—
(hear, hear.)—.l-le would ask; whether in crime of
criminal law there had been heard of so great, so
sudden,_ so permanent an increase of crime. In that
plain statement of figtires there was more argument
than by any words it was possible to convey—(hear,
hear.) But for what he had heard and seen out of
the House, he should. close his case here. lie had
heard, however, that much had been said to prove
that the Mint prosecutions must have decreased with
the decrease of metallic currency, as the Bank pro-
secutions has increased with the increase of notes.—
The account of Mint prosecutions had been produced,
and instead of exhibiting a decrease, it sheaved an in.
crease. But this argument respecting Mint prosecu-
tions had a double edge, for now it unsaid, that by
analogy to these prosecutions it appeared that the in-
crease of forgeries arose from increased depravity,
and not from increased temptatir. , But neitherdid
the account of Mint prosecutions support this asser-
tion ; for instead of exhibiting a sudden leap from
nothing to 222, the seven years which followed the
Bank Restriction, exceeded those which preceded it,
less than they exceeded the seven years immediately
preceding them. The 14 years after produced not
more than twice as much as those which preceded
the Bank Restriction ; the yearly average was about
trebled, and not multiplied as forgeries were, 120
fold. The great cause of this increase of forgeries,
undoubtedly was the suspension of cash payments
and the great circulation of small Notes, which had
been prohibited by the ancient law and policy of the
country, which had been first issued to the amount
of one million and a half, and which now circulated
to the enormous amount of seven or eight millions ;
he would say, the only cause, for it would be a delu-
sion to suppose that any other cause had co-perated.
And here he should observe, that these crimes had
increased a I,undred-fold, though the punishment of
death had not • only remained on the Statute Book,
but had been executed with a rigour never exceeded ;
had been executed, without perceptible effect, to the
utter confusion of those whose only secret for the
prevention of crime was—Hang! hang! hang!—
(Loud cries of hear, hear)—While it was thus shown
that the severity of punishment could not reduce
crime where the chances of escape were alluring, so,
is the decrease of highway robbery, a crime which
had been often pardoned, was it shewn, theta dimi-
nution of the chances of eseapewould put an end to
crime, even without the most rigorous punishment ?
-..(Near, hear)—That decrease of highway robbery
had been spoken of as a benefit of the paper circu-
lation. The small notes, which had chiefly increased
of late yews, were received with so little caution, as
to afford no security against robbery. He attributed
more to. stage-ceaohes, to the mail, !lot only a safe
conveyance, but a perpetual patrole, to turnpike-
gates, to the enclosure of commons, to-the horse pa-
trol. around London, and the general improvemear
.of police, which (with the exception of oyeasioasti.

Wage Murdets) had turned tiie eurrent of crimes
from force to fraud— 'C.riesef hear, hear, hear, hear)
—As to the measure E,:0,.0 the House which would
diminish the number of Country Bank Notes to in-
crease those of the Bs,* of England, 'he ctnakl only
look on it as to its effects As " a Bill for the better
Promotion of Forgery ;" foritisits intended to. lessen
the issue of those Notes seldom Or never forged, and
tO increase the issue of those for illrging which so
litany hundreds had within a few years' lost their
dives—(beau, hear). It.vras, in fact, a Bill for ihe
erection lid furnishing of gibbets ; for it,was not
true that forgeries of Country Notes were.frequeltt;
but seldojti prosecuted, lest the Banker should expose
land injure his credit. In a limited district, a Rae
urned to the 13ankets generally in a fest ddys: 'hie
amount of the Notes which could be put off waS
Small, and the chance of detection greater. The
Bank of tnglanst Note might take months to per-.
form its circuitous joarney from Falmouth to Lon-
don. The Bank of England, within four years, had
more than 100,0001. of forged notes presented to it,
all of which they immediately checked, excbpt. one,
sum 0f.199.1, which they paid, but all which they, after-
wards recovered. So that the Bank of England hid; by
their care, contrived completely to protect thentselies.
Yet with all their care and ingenoity, an unequal tax;
of 25,000/. a year bad been thrown by' them on the
1 lowest and most ignorant people—a tax levied in.the
shape of the most cruel disappointment. If the
House of Commons had to impost, such a, tat, they
Ivoald not Adore it—but by not taking soave mea-
sure, tjiey did that at which their heaft would recoil
if it were proposed in a direct shape (Hear, hear.)—
The moral effect of forgery was alarming. The crime
of forgery was generally committed by persons a
little above the lowest—who would bring others after
them by .their example. It was a lamentable fact that
few reputable occupations were open to females—
but while society shut them out from employment,
the la* laid its snares for them. Forgery required'
neither boldness nor strength. A most painful case
of this nature was now under discussion. He feared
to embitter the execution of a public duti—but.it
was due to his conscience to say, that the convic-
tions of women at Warwick, at Lancaster, at the*
Old Bailey, must till mankind with a degree of invo-
luntary horror--(Loud cries of hear, hear, hear.)—,
It was lamentable that the Courts of Justice whioh,,
protected the people should beCome hateful, yet this
might be the case without a single fault on the part
of those who administered the laws, when the laws
themselses were ill-judged. To see a father, a wife,
daughter and sons, convicted in mass for such crimes
as. these, might be just, might be necessary, might be
legal, but would be abominable—(hear, hear, hear).
The average number of executions. from 1805 to
1812, was 56. In one year the persons executed for
forgery on the Bank were 1:3, or 1-4th of the whole
number of persons capitally executed. It had, in-
deed, at last been found impossible' to adhere to the
ancient rule, aid nothing could more mark the in-
crease of forgery, than the relaxation it had produced
in that unbending rule of. the law. Forgeries had
been pardoned—pardoned through necessity, or the
slaughter of men, under the name of justice, would
have buried the crime and punishment under com-
mon abhorrence—(hear, hear). What remedy was
to be devised against this crime ? The natural remedy'
war tarevert to that state in which there had been
no forgeries ; but if this was not done, at least
all the ingenuity of the Legislature should he em-
ployed to lessen the evil, With regard to the ex-
pedients which had been suggested to prevent For,
gery, he rather doubted their efficiency—(hear, hear).
The ingenious men who had devoted their attention
to this subject, professed to have two objects in view
—first, the security of the Bank, and secondly, the
security of the'Firblit. It seethed', heiWeier, to be
forgotten, that the Bank was already secure, and that
it only remained to provide "for- the *Seitirity of 'the
Public. But how was this,proviiion fni.beitiade, un-
less it 'were practicable to plaCe some narks upon
Bank Notes, which should be so ConspicuOirs as to be
recognized by the poor and ignorant, and which
should be incapable of imitation (hear, hear, hear),
He feared that such a discovery was very difficult;
Still, in his view; it ought to be eagerly sought after.
and should never be abandoned until the difficulty of
atsaining the object was found utterly insurmount-
able. Any expense that attended the pursuit the
Bank would surely defray, while there was a hype of
rescuing it from the expense of prosecution. For it
must he more grateful to the feelings of the Bank
Directors to pay artists for the discovery of any ex-
pedient to prevent forgery, or even to render it diffi-
cult, than to have money applied to encourage an
odious system of espionage, or to reward those
wretches who first contrived to deprive persons of
innocence, in order Afterwards to deprive •them. of.
life— (hear, hear, beer) .--For an exposition of the
artifices of these abominable miscreants, he referred
to his Honourable Fiiend (Mr. Bennet), whose in-
quiry into this subject formed one of the most laud-
able traits of his intrepid and indefatigable benevo-
lence—(hear, hear).—The Honourable and Learned
Gentleman concluded with proposing several mo-
tions, with a view to ascertain. he prosecutions insti-
tuted by the Bank, and the expense attendant upon
such proiecutions. , . . •
' Mr. MANNIVG. cleclare4 that the Bank Directors
were thiLmost anxious to encourage every means cf.
preventillg forgery. The honourable Member en-
tered into a comparative statement of the proseco,
tions for forgery of metallic and taper currency,, in
order to shew that the conclusiotis of the Hon. Aqa
Learned Gentleman were erroneous, with regard to
the prosecutions which arose out of the restriction upon
cash payments. With regard to the expense cit. prose-
cutions by the Bank, he thought the Learned Gentle!,
man might as well call for the publication of any
other brinch of the expenditure of that body. ...
Sir CMORDAeNT stated, that all.the respectable
inhabitants of Birmingham were so shocked at the
facilities and consequent encouragement to foigery,
which the present system afforded, that they intended
to present a Petition to the House, .praying thaosome
measures might be devised to prevent the erogtess of
an evil afflicting to humanity and: so injurious to idle
morals of the country. •
