and admit the great disproportion between thl pre►
sent severity of punishment and the facility of com-
mitting the crime. What he wished to suggest wits,
the propriety of some public notification, holding out
encouragements to artists, with a view of discovering
some mode of rendering Bank-notes less capable of
imitation. He was induced to think that this was by
no means an impracticable object, having seen some
plans devised for the parpese, and also frogs what he
bad himself seen in New/gate, as well as from whet
be had learned in conversation from that exemplary
woman,, Mrs. Fry. He gave the utmost credit to tine
Court of Directors for their attention to this subject ;
bet though the Proprietors might be convinced that
every due election had been made, t,,ought that
something more was necessary t.. 11014 the
and be could not conceive any means bette. calcula-
ted to answer this end than the public notification
which he had already recommended.
Mr. Tuonesonfottoned, and declared that, with
nut meaning the slightest reit, ction on the Directors,
bethought it a duty they owe.' to the ~sier clasaes.'
of society to adopt every practicable op-ans• of di-1
minishing the facility with which the f ,rear) of their

would recommend the withdrawing all nap end Ism

The Chairman (Mr. HARMAN) observed, that as
no Resolution was mi..ed, 'here was no stmt' fie
question before them. With reference to the su.:jei..t
of this coversasion, the two 1100. Members who had
addressed the Court hail done the Directors no more

anxious to adopt any practicable remedy to the evil
in question. Is r«quired but comniu humanity in
them to be so •iteposed, and he floated that no Pro-

which they had very ,tear at heart.—(Hear!)—They
might ales he assuical, that the subject, instead of
having been taken up within a few days, bad engaivql
their attention for '2O )ears; and that a Committee
bad sat regularly for 15 years, for the purpose of
devising some mode of manufacturing notes which
might reader forgery less frequent: but the difficulties
were mach greater than was generally imagined ;
still it did not become him to say that a remedy was
impossible, and be could assure the Proprietors, that
'no endeavours would be wanting on the part of the
Directors to accomplish so desirable an object. He
could have wished, indeed, that the topic had not
been introduced, because, though he was sere that
no misunderstanding could prevail among the Pro-
prietors relative to the conduct of the Directors, it
might be the cause of sending forth an erroneous im-
pression among the Politic. As to the suggestion
with regard to the withdrawing small notes from cir.
collation, it must be obvious that this was a subjevi
that was intimately coniiected with s general question
of too great importance to be discussed on this occa-
sion. He begged to repeat his assurance, that time
discovery of anme mode of ch,.tskilig the facility with
which forgeries were now corumitted was a subject
that occupied the a.tention of the 1) rectors night and

a very abusive and threatening letter from Mr. Tay:

act ; and that Mr. Murray did receive another letter
from Mr. Taylor, dated sth February, iltll3, from
Newcastle-upon... Tyne, again challenging him to fight,

that he would come to Edinburgh by a certain day,

the arrest was totally illegal; that although born a
Scotchman, he was domiciled in England, was a
Member of one of the Inns of Court for IS years,
and I,ed been a Member of the House of Commons

Their Lordships severally delivered their (Tiniest*

Yesterday being what is generally called Maundy-
Thursday, was observed with the used ceremony of
distributing the goys' bounty. The CUM OM is known ,'
to t asr been established in this country by Ed-
ward 111. in the year 1353, when that haughty
•
King actually washed the feet of the poor people
who were relieved, in imitation of the humility of
our Saviour • and it is on record, that Cardinal Wol.
soy after wars performed the same ceremony in the
cite of York. This observance is still kept op in Por-
tugual and other Catholic countries. 'rho name of
Mauntly.Thorsday is derived from the hand-baskets,
which were called (from the Saxon) Mounds, in which
the different Christian Potentates distributed provi-
sions to the poor. The number of persons relieved
corresponds with the age of the Monarch, and
were therefore 110 of each Prlr. The distribation. as usual, took
place at Whitebait i Impel; but on account of an extra stair-
s-me being boat fen; the ante chapel to the 14n,al e'oeet, for
the Duchess of York. a temporary erection was made on the
out.ide on Privv.gardens, where accommodidios was provided
fur e 0 ,acs and tit) women. and oboist NI spectators, when 2 cods,
' salrions. 18 red hers togs. 18 pickled herring., with 4 loaves,
were go% en :o each person in • wooden bowl. After the fish
ant bread had been distributed. three pounds and a half of beef
and one loaf were given to each person. Th. Rev. Dr. Page,
the Sub-Almoner (the 4 rchbishop of York N the Almoner), and
Mr. Hanby. the Lord High Almoner's Secretary, attended to in.
spree the distribution; and aler all the poor persons had re-
ceived their progisions, she hub Almoner proposed the health of
the King, a hick nos drank in ale, in wood', cups.
In she afternomi. the ceremonies and additional lloval boon-
ties were resumed in the chapel. The Gentlemen of the Chapel
Royal attended to perform the service.
Soon after three o clock the ceremonies commenced by a pro-
cession enteriug the chapel, of eight yeomen of the guard, and
a yeoman-ocher, one of the yeomen carrying on his head a large
gold dish, in which were 160 red kid bags, which ought to have
entrained .)s. in gold, but had a 11. note each, and also white
kid bags, tied to the others with white leather strings, about
two feet long, in which were Id. 2d M. and 4d. pieces is silver,
amounting 10 sic shillings and eight-pence, bring as in toy pence
as the King is years old ; the dish containing these namerno, bags
was placed on a table, which was cowered with a white cloth, in
front of the altar Ihe remainder of the procession consisted
of the Rev. Mr. Holmes, the Sub !lean of the Chapel Royal ; 1
the Rey. Dr Page. the Sub-Alinoorr ; Mr. Hanby, the Lord
High Almoner's Secretary; Mr. Junes. the Groom of the Al-
tamyy. Two boys and two gifts were selected from St. Marga-

After she first lemon, these fiesidemen, who formed the pro.
fesiion. ascended into the gallery. and distributed to the SO
men, shoes and rockings. After which, the Gentlemen of the
Choir swag an appropriate piece.
After this, cloth for a coat, and Reels-for a shire. were dip-
tr,buted in a similar manner. As appropriate piece was again
"Theng. red begs, containing the 11. notes and the small silver
coinage. were distributed in a similar manner. The certunoay
of distribution to the women was precisely similar.
The anthem. .• Who is this that enmesh from Mom ?" was
then sung, and an appropriate thanksgiving and prayer were
then read. The Kiugaietilth was afterwards drank in claret,
out of wooden cups. by the Gentlemen who performed the ser- i
vice and composed the procession.
