he bei. as not an individual of the
100,000 inhabitants of the town. but would cordially join in
the expression of regret at the circumstance which had hap-
pened. It was a public calamity, and it was their duty to
take such steps as would be likely to prevent its being aggra-
vated by greater calamities that might follow.
The resolution was seconded by Samuel Hadfield, Esq.
Thomas Dunn, Esq., in giving his cordial support to the
motion, passed a high ealogium on the honourable character
of the partners of the bank, and the irreproachable manner
in which they had conducted the concern. When the cir-
cumstances of Messrs. Parker, Shore, and Co. came to be
laid before the public, it will be found that in no instance had
they deviated from a legitimate course of banking, and that
their stoppagelwas not attributable to imprudence in any of
the partners in their own expenditure. It would be found
that during the last ten or twelve years, Mr. Parker and Mr.
Shore had advanced large sums to the bank, and it would
also be found that during the whole of that time they had not
taken out one penny either of capital or interest. He be-
lieved the stoppage had arisen, not from speculation or ex-
travagance on their part, but from the too groat ',leniency
they had at all times shown to the merchants and manufac-
turers of the town, and from not having put on the screw
tighter than they had done. The resolution was then put
and carried unanimously.
It was afterwards resolved, on the motion of"
T William
Fisher, Esq., seconded by Alfred Sorby, Esq., h
order to obviate any aggravation of this great calamity,
unnecessary distrust, we, the undersigned, hereby e-
our entire and unabated confidence in all the banks at
existing in Sheffield, viz. :—The Sheffield and Rotherham
Banking Company, Messrs. Rimington and Younge's Bank,
the Sheffield Banking Company, the Yorkshire District
Bank, the Sheffield and Hallamshire Banking Company, and
the Sheffield and Retford Banking Company • and we pledge
ourselves to take their notes n •
