of these at present is no more than what is in proportion
requisite in consideration of the sums at present
remaining in their hands: and to these sums the
produce of the proposed new business will be a
addition. But On the other hand A reply that may be made it may
be replied — that under favour of this security
the sums suffered to remain in their hands,
or the receipts of a whole month, This may be stated one and
thirty times the amount which it would be necessary
to have: for if money in letters can go
from every such office not only six times once in a
day - but six times a day, it will be difficult
to say what should hinder its going once a day
without having a letter for a cover to it.
A point to which at the same time
ought not to pass over altogether unheeded is
the demand then that may appear to be presented for
additional pecuniary responsibility on the part
of the person by whom the carriage of the monies
received in the sale of Annuity Notes
is to be performed. and the demand for additional pay that may appear to be arise in consequence. It is however to be considered
on the other hand that at present the demand
for pecuniary responsibility on the part of persons
of this description is very considerable, and
indeed in a manner unlimited indefinite, by reason of
the sums which are liable to be inclosed, and which
more especially since the opening of the small Bank
Notes continually are inclosed in Letters.
