Abstract

7c
Bill of costs relative
to purchase, receipt
of dividends and
Sale of Stock

Note (a) to p 47.

(a) The following Bill of costs, exhibiting the charges
attendant on dealings in Stock where the parcel [+] [+] though it were for the minutest portion in cases where
evidence of the party is in the country by distance from of evidence and want of connections in the capital
metropolis, the party is obliged to avail himself have recourse in
the regular way of business, to professional assistance,
will may serve to shew how ill adapted Government
Annuities are, upon the present footing of Stock
Annuities, to enable a man to employ his money
in that way to advantage, either a small sum
for any length of time, or even a considerable
sum for a short time: and this even independently
of those contingencies which in the latter case
have so frequently the effect of converting expected
profit into positive loss. The charges are such
as I have reason to think look upon as rather
under than over rated. By doing certain parts of the business
himself or getting it them done gratis by a friend,
a man may save so much of the expense; as
his wife might sav the expense of a mantua-maker
by making her own gown: but by a
of this sort does not render does not prevent the professional
charge is not prevented from
being, in a general point of view, the proper
standard of expence.
