DURING the time I set myself the pleasurable task of investigating the early history of

Child's Hank, I had occasion to look through a vast quantity of old cheques, bills, and

cash-notes, extending in time close upon two centuries;when I observed that all drafts

passing through the hands of a goldsmith or banker were endorsed by such goldsmith

or banker, and that in most cases the endorsements were witnessed by one of the clerks.

I applied myself, therefore, to the collection of all these drafts, or a fair sample of

them, with a view to seeing how far they would throw li^ht upon the early history of

bankers. This done, the next step was to refer to the List of Goldsmiths keeping

running-cashes, published in the "Little London Directory" of 1677, a"d to extract

lists of all goldsmiths and bankers from the London Directories at the British Museum.

The first of the set a thin volume was published in 1677 ;the second did not appear

until 1736; and the next dates were 1738, 1740, 1754, 1759, 1763, and so on, with

occasional intervals of a few years, down to the present date. To these I have added

lists compiled from data at my disposal for the years 1670, 1687, 1703, 1725 ;the latter

list will show what a thinning-out there was after the disastrous times of the South Sea

Bubble. Upon turning again to the documents at my disposal, however, I discovered

that the missing data, not to be obtained from the British Museum, Guildhall Library,

and other likely sources, could be supplied by the endorsements to the old drafts and

cash-notes in the possession of Messrs. Child and Co. In addition to these materials, I

have been enabled to obtain information respecting early goldsmiths and bankers from

other quarters, of which due acknowledgment is made in the course of these pages.

My design further embraces the complete series of Lists of Bankers as published in

the various London Directories. These lists generally have been obtained from the

British Museum; individual media are specified at foot of those otherwise derived. It

is a matter of regret to me that an unbroken sequence of dates cannot be obtained

owing to the Directories for many years not having been preserved in the National

Library.

Having regard to greater convenience for reference, I have elected to compile this

volume after the style rather of a dictionary than of a running chronological account.

The names of goldsmiths and bankers of whom no information can be gathered arc

vi PREFA CE.

omitted, unless such goldsmiths' or bankers' names do not appear in the lists at the end

of the volume, as they would simply amount to needless repetition.

The various firms are described under the styles by which such banks last flourished

or were familiarly known, the names of the firms being from time to time mentioned with

references to the heads under which they are recorded.

During the period that has elapsed since the publication of the" Handbook of London

Hankers" in 1876, which was the first edition of this work, I have been able to correct

errors, make large additions, and add a great deal of new material to my former statements

relating to the various banks. As far as regards Lombard Street, my sincere thanks are

due to all the Bankers, the owners of the various houses (including, in some cases, the

Corporation of the City of London and the Livery Companies), and the other inhabitants

for generously giving me access to their title-deeds, which have enabled me to record the

signs and former occupants of nearly every house in that street. This has been largely

supplemented by reference to the Registers of the parish of St. Mary Woolnoth, in which

so many goldsmiths and bankers have resided, also to the books of the parish of

St. Edmund the King and Martyr, kindly placed at my disposal by the Rev. Canon

Benham. Much interesting and valuable history has also been gleaned from the Public

Record Office, the London Gazettes, and other old newspapers, likewise from various works,

the titles of which I transcribe on the next page.

The old goldsmiths, whose names I have obtained from various sources before the

Commonwealth, were for the most part simply workers in the precious metals, who were

styled plate-workers. From about the year 1710 I have (with few exceptions) omitted

chronicling them, as after that date, had they kept running-cashes, they would have called

themselves bankers.

After the closing of the Exchequer in 1672, several fresh names appear as goldsmiths

keeping running-cashes, who had been for the most part servants, that is to say, clerks to

big men, such as Backwell, Vyner, and others, who had been forced to suspend their

payments in consequence of the confiscation of their deposits in the Exchequer, which

amounted in the aggregate to .1,328,526.

I take this opportunity of thanking all the Bankers and other friends who have so

generously supplied me with information when solicited.

The copious reference Index will be found useful.

In 1819 William Alexander died, and from that time George William Alexander, his eldest son,

who had been a clerk in the house for several years, took the management, he being only seventeen

years of age, and the firm being Ann Alexander and Co., representing the widow of William

Alexander. When he came of age in 1824, he became a partner, and the style was changed to

Messrs. A. and G. W. Alexander and Co. In 1862 the firm was joined by the partners of the firm

of Cunliffes and Co., as Alexanders, Cunliffes, and Co. This firm was again dissolved in 1877, and

was carried on by George William Alexander and his two sons, Robert Harry Alexander and William

In 1714 the firm became Atwell and Hammond; the business was afterwards conducted byWilliam Hammond until April 10, 1722, when the failure of William Atwell and Co., brought about

by the panic that ensued upon the collapse of the South Sea Bubble, was announced in the London

tie,

From the following lines, written by Gay in 1720 to Snow, the goldsmith, we may infer that

Atwell was shaky then :

" When credit tank and commerce gasping lay,Thou stood'st, nor sent one Bill unpaid away ;

When not a guinea chinked on Martin's boards,And Atwell's iclf was drained of all his hoards."

Backwell, Alderman Edward,Was an eminent goldsmith and banker. We are unable to trace the origin of his business or the

exact date when he began, but have ascertained that he was in a large way of business during the

Commonwealth and the reign of Charles II. It would appear from the following extract from

the "Royalist Comp. Papers," series i, vol. viii. p. 609, that in 1653-4 he was in Cheapside : "JohnBuckner went to a house in Cheapside, where he paid unto Mr. Edward Backwell's servant the

sum of foure hundred poundes upon a bond."

From the State Papers we find Backwell was employed to carry out some new coinage. In 1656

we read it was the Council's intention to use bullion supplied by Edward Backwell. It was to be

taken into the Mint, and made into coin by Peter Blondeau, with milled edge and Cromwell's head.

During the next year we find a large quantity of bullion, which Viner and Backwell had contracted

with the Council to supply, was coined into money.Backwell was elected Alderman of Bishopsgate Ward on January 31, 1657.

During the Commonwealth he usually paid 6 per cent, for money on deposit ;and the ordinary

price of silver was from 5$. 6d. to5.?. id. per ounce.

Backwell was paymaster and treasurer of the Dunkirk garrison from the days of Cromwell until

that town was sold to the French king in 1662. All the money expended there was supplied by him,

he receiving Exchequer tallies in payment. In February, 1659, he was paid in a very unusual manner.

It is recorded in one of his ledgers that he received " of the Committee of Parliament by old plate,

1529 : ii. oz."

His old books are full of interesting and valuable accounts for plate and jewels supplied by him

during the Protectorate and reign of Charles II., some of which I have published elsewhere.

On April 29, 1670, Prince Rupert was charged ,960 3^. <)d. for various pieces of plate, of which

the full particulars are set forth in an old ledger under date. Nine or ten of the Alderman's ledgersare in the possession of Messrs. Child and Go., who, upon the failure of Alderman Backwell, took

over many of his customers' accounts;and with whom a considerable number of their descendants

bank to the present day.

State Papers and his own books show that he had large operations with Oliver Cromwell, Richard

Cromwell, and other celebrities, of whom the following is a select list :

King Charles II.

Queen of England.

Queen Mother (Henrietta Maria).

James, Duke of York.

Prince Rupert

smiths ; Thomas Wood of Littleton ; and John Houblon, afterwards Sir John Houblon, Lord Mayorand first Governor of the Bank of England, upon* the site of whose house the present Bank of Englandwas erected. All the goldsmiths of that time kept accounts with Backwell's for clearing purposes, as

they likewise did with Blanchard and Child and all other goldsmiths, were their books only in

existence to prove it.

Backwell removed to Lombard Street about the year 1654. His shop was at the corner of ChangeAlley, and was called the Unicorn, the site being now occupied by No. 69. Messrs. Martin andCo. are in possession of a deed which shows that Backwell was at .the Grasshopper after the Great

Fire. His premises were spacious, according to Strype (bk. iL p. 149), who writes :

"It is a large

place, vastly improved, chiefly out of an house of Alderman Backwell's, a goldsmith before the Great

Fire." After the Great Fire he purchased considerable property in Lombard Street, which Pepyssaid looked like a little town. Backwell made some very important alterations at the back of his

bank in 1663, as we gather from the following entry in Pepys* Diary on July 3 in that year :

" Thenceto the Change, and meeting Sir I. Minnes there, he and I walked to look upon Backwell's design of

making another alley from his shop through over against the Exchange door, which will be very noble

and quite put down the other two."

On December 24, 1660, Pepys went to "chose a payre of candlesticks," and on the ayth he called

and found them done. On the 29th, having tired of his candlesticks, he took "a brave state plate

and cupp"

in lieu of them, and carried them off by coach.

After the Great Fire, it will be seen from the following order that the Alderman had lodgings given

him by the State. The official letter, or order, which I derive through Mr. T. C. Noble from the

State Papers in the Record Office (" Entry Book, No. 23, Domestic Series, Charles II.," p. 228), will

serve to substantiate the view I have expressed of the high position of Alderman Backwell as a

banker in this reign :

"Whereas, it have humbly been represented unto us, in favour of Aid* Backwell, that by the late

calamity of the fire hapened in our Citty of London, he is become destitute of a house or fitt abode

for y* management of his affaires. And we, taking into our Princely consideracon the greatest im-

portance it is of, as well to y* publicke, as more immediately to our owne service, to have him

He was frequently sent for by the King when he was in need of money ; which it seems was a

chronic state with that monarch.

Backwell, Alderman Edward continued.

Pepys mentions the name of Edward Backwell no less than twenty-six times. On July 6, 1665,

he records :" Alderman Backwell is ordered abroad upon some private score with a great sum of

money ;wherein I was instrumental the other day in shipping away. It seems some of his creditors

have taken notice of it, and he was like to be broke yesterday in his absence;Sir G. Carteret telling

me that the King and the Kingdom must as good as fall with that great man at this time ; and that

he was forced to get ^4000 himself to answer Backwell's people occasions, or he must have broke ;

but committed this to me as a great secret."

A few days afterwards (on the 26th) Pepys says: "Whilst Backwell is still in Flanders, poorRobin Shaw, his right-hand man, died of the plague."

The King himself inquired about Shaw, and, being told he was dead, said he was very sorry for it.

And again, on November 23, 1665, Pepys was with Alderman Backwell, talking of the new

money, which he believes will never be counterfeited : "but it is so deadly inconvenient for telling;

it is so thick, and the edges are made to turn up."

On June 13, 1667, Pepys records a run upon Backwell's house: "They are so called upon for

money that they will be all broke, hundreds coming to them for money : and they answer him,'it is

payable at twenty days : when the days are out, we will pay you :

' and those that are not so, they

make tell over their money and make their bags false, on purpose to give cause to retell it and so

spend time. I cannot have my 200 pieces of gold again for silver, all being bought up last night that

were to be had, and sold for 24^. and 25*. a piece. So I must keep the silver by me, which sometimes

I think to fling into the house of office, and then again know not how I shall come by it, if we be

made to leave the office." The house weathered that storm, as the same authority states that he

called on Backwell on May 3, 1668, when the banker told him how he had bought an estate at

Buckeworth, within four miles of Brampton in Hunts.

By a Privy Seal issued October 21, 1661, in the favour of Backwell, ^26,156 was ordered for

the pay of the garrison of Dunkirk. The garrison consisted of 4400 soldiers, besides officers, andsix troops of horse ;

and the monthly charge thereof was ^8718 13*. 4</. per month of twenty-eight

days. Upon the plea of expense, and owing to Clarendon's fear that in case of war with France wecould not hold it, Dunkirk was ordered to be sold, and Backwell was directed by a royal warrant,

dated October 20, 1662, to repair to Paris for the purpose of receiving 4,500,000 livres from his

Most Christian Majesty, the French King. He afterwards was ordered to have this sum struck into

coins by the mill and press, which, as we have already stated, he found so deadly inconvenient for

telling.

Backwell also brought out several large loans for the King. I have seen Privy Seals directing the

Commissioners of the Treasury to pay him various large sums for interest on the money he hadadvanced. The rate he received was 6 per cent., including a gratuity of two-thirds for his seasonable

supply of the money. On September 14, 1667, the King made him a free gift of ^8000 in con-

sideration of large advances to the Exchequer. The Privy Seal records that this sum was given, as

he was forced to admit larger sums of other men's money into the bank, upon which he had to allow

interest greater than he otherwise would.

There is much interesting matter that I could add concerning this banker, which I am forced to

omit in consequence of want of space ; but, for the information of those who would know moreof him, I would refer them to a paper I read before the London and Middlesex Archaeological Society

(vol. vi.), entitled, "Some Account of the Business of Alderman Edward Backwell."

A Privy Council having been called on January 2, 1672, the Exchequer was closed, whenthe Crown's indebtedness to Backwell amounted to no less a sum than ^295, 994 16*. 6d. In lieu

of this the King settled upon him an annuity of ^17,759 13*. 8</. The original bond for the paymentof this annuity, bearing the autograph of the King, is now the property of Mr. Charles TyringhamPraed, who is a descendant of the Backwells. A copy of this curious and interesting document maybe seen in

" Ye Marygold," and in the Appendix to this book.

Backwell, Alderman Edward continued.

This was a great blow for Backwell, who apparently had great confidence in the honour of the

King, as on July 23, 1666, when Pepys met him, he complained of some hard usage he had

been subjected to ;

" but he says he has a good master, the King, who will not suffer him to be

undone, as otherwise he must have been, and I believe him." Of course, it caused him to suspend

payment ; still, we find he continued in his business for a short time. He was probably able to satisfy

the claims of his creditors by allowing them some small interest, as we find from I'rivy Seals he

received considerable amounts from the Exchequer from time to time; but, as the principal was never

paid in his lifetime, he became a bankruptHe was afterwards employed by the King on several occasions after 1672 to go abroad to conduct

negotiations for money, and he retained the office of Comptroller of his Majesty's Customs at the

Port of London, at a salary of .250 per annum until 1674. From 1678 to 1681 he sat as member

of Parliament for Wendovcr.

The London Gazette of June i, 1682, announced : "The creditors of Edward Backwell, Esq.,

are desired to take notice that the said Edward Backwell hath published his proposals, and that they

will be delivered to them or any they shall please send for them by Mr. Richard Snagg or by some

other person at Mr. Valentine Duncombe's shop, where the said Edward Backwell formerly dwelt in

Lombard Street, and such as live remove in the country are desired to write," etc.

Several other notices appeared this year. Shortly after this he retired to Holland, and there died.

He was buried June 13, 1683, in St. Mary Woolnoth's, Lombard Street; and on October 20, 1685,

his body was removed to Tirringham, Bucks.

beyond the seas, to be brought thither (to the Tower) in such abundance as sufficed to serve the Cityand the countries near adjoining ; to the furtherance of which good work he took out of the

orphans' chest in the Guildhall two thousand marks to buy the said corn, and each alderman laid out

twenty pounds to the like purpose.

Bank of England (The)Was founded in 1694. It grew out of a loan of ; 1,200,000 advanced to the Government of the

day for the public service. The idea of forming a National Bank originated with Mr. William

Paterson, an enterprising Scotchman, who commenced his exertions for the establishment of such an

institution as early as 1691.

The Bank was incorporated into a Society on July 27, 1694, and styled the Governor and Companyof the Bank of England. It was enacted that the management and government of the corporationshould be committed to the Governor and twenty-four Directors, to be elected between the 25th dayof March and the 2$th day of April in each year, from among the duly qualified members of the

Company. The qualification for Governor is ^4000 stock ; Deputy Governor,.3000 ; and Director,

2000.

On January i, 1695, the Bank of England commenced active operations at Grocers' Hall, in the

Poultry ;and on February 1 1 in the same year, the following advertisement appeared in the London

Gazette:" The Court of Directors of the Bank of England hereby give notice that they have empowered

their cashiers, Mr. Thomas Speed, Mr. Robert Hedges, and Mr. Thomas Madolees, and one of them

and no other, to give notes on behalf of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, either

for payment of money or bills, for which they are to be accountable."

None of the notes issued by them at this time were for a less sum. than twenty pounds. The

Bank also commenced to discount bills of exchange, usually between 44 and 6 per cent.

In May, 1695, they advertised in the Gazette that they would advance money on pawns.

As early as August 15, 1695, the Bank called in their "marbled notes," some of them having

been forged.

The first Governor was Sir John Houblon, who was Lord Mayor in 1695, an^ a Lord of the

Admiralty. He was the son of James Houblon, an eminent London merchant, remarkable for his

piety and plainness ; of whom there is frequent mention by Pepys in his Diary. His surviving

representative is Mr. John Archer Houblon, of Hallingbury, in Essex.

The Bank of England stopped payment in 1696, during the great recoinage, owing in a great

measure to the failure of the Land Bank, when Bank notes fell to a heavy discount. In June, 1797,

they were at 13 and 14 per cent, discount. Mr. H. D. Macleod, writing to the Daily News on the

subject of Banks of Issue on May 8, 1875, says: "In 1697 a statute was passed to increase the

capital of the Bank, and it was enacted that, during the continuance of the Bank of England, no

other bank, or any other corporation, society, fellowship-company, or constitution in the nature of a

bank, should be erected or established, permitted, suffered, countenanced or allowed by Act

of Parliament within England."This clause only refers to banks established by Act of Parliament ;

it did not prohibit any private

bank from existing, or issuing notes, or consisting of any number of partners. There were numerous

private banks *issuing notes in London ; and, if they had chosen, they might have assumed any

number of partners, as many as the Bank of England itself.

It did not take long to get the money that was required to start the Bank; ten days seem to have

sufficed. In return for the loan of 1,200,000, Government guaranteed to pay the Bank of England

annually the sum of 100,000, which was 8 per cent, upon the capital; and an additional 4000a year for the expenses of management.

Capitalists indeed evinced great eagerness to invest their surplus money, as appears from the

following interesting letter written to Sir Francis Child by the 'first Duke of Leeds, dated June 25,

1694 :

"Sir, I am informed that the subscription to the Bank do fill so fast that there is att this day

neare ,700,000 subscribed, so that it must now necessarily be a bank : I therefore desire that youwill subscribe foure thousand pounds for mee, and pay in one thousand pounds on my account as the

Act directs."

There is another curious letter written about the same period, by Mr. Locke to a friend at

"Amsterdam, which I quote from Mr. Martin's "Stories of Banks and Bankers "

:

" Your friend

J. F. (John Furley) has taken 300 to the new batik, which has already got a capital of 1,000,000.

I shall myself subscribe 500 at once, and it will be full to-night."

After the crisis of 1696, in order to prevent any further suspension of money payments, the

capital was increased to 2,201,171.

Were I to write a full account of the Bank of England, it would occupy far more space than

I have at my disposal. Those who desire to study its constitution and various charters, and the

* Francis Child and Co. issued notes at this time.

Bank of England (The)fontinuftf.several events connected with this great institution, should consult the "

History of the Bank of

England," by John Francis, a most valuable, readable, and useful book, replete with anecdote;Lawson's "History of Banking;" Macleod's ^ Theory and Practice of Banking;" "The Bank of

England," by the author of the "People's Blue Book

;

" and other works. I content myself by

noting a few of the principal events.

The charter was renewed in 1697 until 1711 ; in 1708 it was further continued to 1733 ; in 1712to 1743 ;

in 174* to 1765 ; in 1763 to 1786; in 1781 to 1812 ; in 1800 to 1833; in 1833 to 1855 ;

and in 1844 to August i, 1855, and longer, if the debt due from the public to the Bank (^i 1,015,100)with interest, etc., be not paid after due notice.

The Bank suspended cash payments in 1797. On February 26 c* that year the Gazette announcedthat a French frigate had landed troops in Wales ; the general alarm thereupon being intense.

There was every prospect of a run on the next day, when an Order of Council was issued,

prohibiting the Directors from paying cash for their notes. Parliament concurred on this point ;and

the Restriction Act, prohibiting the Bank from paying cash except for sums under twenty shillings,

was passed at this time.

On April 6, 1797, through this panic, the 3 per cent consols had fallen to 47}, and Bank stock

to i2if ;whereas in March, 1792, consols were at 97 J, and Bank stock at 219.

i-pound notes were first issued in 1759, five-pound notes in 1794, and one-pound and two-

pound notes in 1797 ; the last two subsequently discontinued, owing to so many forgeries having been

perpetrated.

The first forgery of a Bank of England note was in 1758. It was committed by a linen draperof the name of Vaughan, living in Stafford, who was convicted and executed.

The business of the Bank continued to be carried on in Grocers' Hall in the Poultry until June 5,

1734, when they moved into their new premises then just completed.The following account of the new premises of the Bank, which occupy the site of the house and

garden of Sir John Houblon, is taken from Lawson's "History of Banking

":

" The original extent

of the Bank comprehended the site of the house and garden formerly belonging to Sir John Houblon,one of the first directors, and was comparatively a small structure, quite invisible towards the street,

the entrance being through an arched court, surrounded by many other buildings : viz., a church

called St. Christopher le Stocks, three taverns in Bartholomew Lane, and two on the south side, and

upwards of twenty private houses; the whole of which have been removed."

The garden in the Bank, which is now enclosed, was the original churchyard of the church of St.

Christopher ; and one of the clerks, of the name of Jenkins, who was seven feet six inches in height,

was interred within it, to save his corpse from the resurrectionists.

The original Bank was built from the designs of Mr. George Sampson, the east and west wings

being added by Sir Robert Taylor, between 1766 and 1786; and Sir John Soane afterwards madeconsiderable alterations.

The Bank of England joined the Clearing House in April, 1864.

In the early days of the Bank, people were permitted to demand only part of the value of a bank-

note, the clerk endorsing upon it the amount that had been paid on account. This plan was adopted

by many, who received instalments until the whole amount due on the notes they held was absorbed.

It was also frequently adopted by those who held Child and Co.'s notes. It may therefore be surmised

that it was a common practice with bankers generally.

Bank of LondonWas established about 1856, at 52, Threadneedle Street, and 450, West Strand. It had a paid-up

capital amounting to ,400,000, and a reserve fund of .302,324.At the period of its failure, in 1866, its liabilities amounted to .4,335,877. Its business was taken

over by the Consolidated Bank.

Barclay, Bevan, and Co.

The business of Messrs. Barclay, Bevan, Trittcn, Ransom, Bouverie, and Co. was certainly founded

prior to the year 1 694, as at that date we find John Freame a goldsmith in Lombard Street, and in

1698 Freame and Gould were at the Three Anchors in the same street, and remained there until 1702,

according to an advertisement in the London Gazette of December 7 irv that year, offering a reward

for one of their cash notes which had been lost. Messrs. Freame and Gould moved their shop

between the latter date and 1728, when they were located at the sign of the Black Spread Eagle,

now No. 56, part of the premises occupied by Messrs. Barclay. The bank premises now consist

of the whole block between George Alley and George Yard, which comprised the old signs, the

Black Horse, now No. 53, where Pepys' friend, little Stokes, lived, and whose descendant, John Bland,

remained there until 1749 ;the Bible, No. 54, which was the residence of a goldsmith named George

Braithwaite in 1728; and the Three Kings, No. 55, the banking-house of Messrs. Smith, Wright, and

Gray, who left it in 1773. The Black Spread Eagle continued to be the sign of the house No. 56until 1770, when all the houses were numbered, and the quaint old signs were removed.

For the following account I am indebted to Mr. J. H. Tritton, of this firm :

"In 1728 Joseph Freame purchased the freehold premises in Lombard Street, at the comer of

George Yard, from one Currier,'

citizen and a scrivener,' who had in all probability conducted the

same business on the same spot up to this time. The sign of the banking-house in 1728 was the

Black Spread Eagle."Joseph Freame, who was described in 1728 as 'citizen and goldsmith,' was in partnership with

Thomas Gould, under the style of Gould and Freame, until 1736, when James Barclay took the place

of J. Gould, and the firm became Freame and Barclay. In 1768 Silvanus Bevan joined, and two

years later the name of Freame disappeared on the death of Joseph Freame in 1770, his son John

having died in 1762. In 1786 John Henton Tritton became a partner, and from that date up to his

death in 1833 the style of the firm was Barclay, Tritton, Bevan, and Co. Since then the names ran

as Barclay, Bevan, Tritton, and Co. until 1865, when the business of Messrs. Spooner, Attwood, and

Co. was taken over, and the name of Twells was added;Mr. Philip Twells, one of the members for

the City of London, then joining the firm.

" The James Barclay, whose name first appears as a banker in 1736, was the son of David Barclay,

and the grandson of Robert Barclay, the "Apologist." The main line of the Scotch family of

Barclay of Mather and Urie, whose pedigree is traced back to Saxon times, and who have inter-

married with the descendants of Edward III. of England and Robert III. of Scotland, was carried

on, in default of male issue by him, through his young brother Alexander ;and it is now represented

by Robert Barclay, of Bury Hill, a member of the firm of Barclay, Perkins, and Co.

"The name of Silvanus Bevan (the elder) appears among the clients of the firm in 1728. The

family is of Welsh extraction, and trace their pedigree even further back than the Barclays." David Barclay, the father (by his first wife) of James and Alexander, was a merchant in Cheap-

side, and was also one of the principal connections of the early banking house. He is recorded to

have received successively on Lord Mayor's Day, at his house in Cheapside, Queen Anne, George I.,

George II., and George III. David and John, his two sons by his second wife, Priscilla Freame,succeeded to the banking business. The former had only one child, a daughter, married to Richard

Gurney, father of the late Hudson Gurney, and the latter was father-in-law to John Henton Tritton,

and great-grandfather to the present Joseph Gurney Barclay. It is well perhaps to add that the

present members of the firm are all the direct descendants of the above-named gentleman, and that

the banking-house is still at the corner of George Yard, Lombard Street, on the site of the Old Black

Spread Eagle of 1728."

The earliest cash note bearing the name of"Joseph Freame in my possession is of the year 1730,and is witnessed by J. Topper.

A fact worth noticing is that a Mr. Silvanus Bevan, who was probably an ancestor of the Mr.

Bevan in the firm of Messrs. Barclay and Co., banked with Child's in the year 1 704. I have seen

a draft upon the latter firm drawn by him, dated from Swanzey (sic).

The following amusing anecdote relating to Mr. David Barclay I transcribe verbatim from Lawson's"History of Banking :

"

"On the occasion of the State visit of George III. to the City, on the first Lord Mayor's Dayafter his accession to the throne, and when the cavalcade had reached Cheapside, the acclamations

of the people were so great' as to pierce the air with their shouts

;

' added to which, the dismal noise

made by the creaking of the various signs which hung across the streets caused one of the horses

attached to the King's carriage to become very restive and unmanageable when opposite Bow Church,

causing considerable confusion to the procession and alarm to their Majesties.

"A certain Quaker named David Barclay, a linendraper in Cheapside, who was viewing the

procession from the balcony of his first-floor window, perceiving the embarrassed situation of the

King and Queen, descended to the street At this moment the procession halted, and our friend

approaching the carriage addressed the King, saying,' Wilt thee alight, George, and thy wife Charlotte,

and come into my house and view the Mayor's show?' The King, who had on many occasions

before he came to the Throne evinced a strong partiality for Quakers, and who, from the plainness

of his manner, would no doubt have been one himself, had he not been bom to a throne, con-

descended to accept the invitation of the worthy linendraper ;and in the balcony of the first-floor

of the house exactly opposite Bow Church the King and Queen stood during the remainder of the

procession." Our friend David introduced to their Majesties the whole of his family. His eldest son, Robert,

who was then a young man about twenty years of age, received especial notice from their Majesties.

On their taking their leave to proceed to Guildhall, his Majesty said,'

David, let me see thee at St.

James's next Wednesday, and bring thy son Robert with thee.' Accordingly David Barclay and his

son Robert attended the levee;and on his approaching the royal presence, the King, throwing aside

all regal restraint, descended from the Throne and, giving the Friend a hearty shake of the hand,

welcomed him to St. James's. He said many kind things both to the father and son : among the

rest, he asked David what he intended to do with Robert, and without waiting for a reply, said :

' Let him come here, and I will provide him with honourable and profitable employment.'"The strict and cautious Quaker, with many apologies, and with much humility, requested per-

mission to reject the proposal, adding :

'I fear the air of the Court of your Majesty would not agree

with my son.'

"The King, who had seldom witnessed a similar rejection of intended royal favour, said : 'Well,

David, well, well ; you know best, you know best ; but you must not omit to let me see you

occasionally at St James's.'" Soon after this, David Barclay saw his son Robert established as a banker in Lombard Street,

who, instead of becoming a courtier, a position for which Nature never intended him, became the

founder of one of the most eminent banking firms of the present day."

Towards the end of the last century it is recorded*

that the staff at Barclay's consisted of three

clerks;and we are told, upon the third clerk coming to the shop for the first time, he was thus

dressed :

" He wore a long flapped coat, with large pockets ; the sleeves had long cuffs, with three

large buttons, something like the coats worn by the Greenwich pensioners of recent days ;an

embroidered waistcoat reaching nearly down to his knees, with an enormous bouquet in the button-

list of bankers in the Directories :

On July 2, 1888, Messrs. Barclay, Bevan, Tritton, and Co. amalgamated with Messrs. Ransom,

Bouverie, and Co., of Pall Mall East, under the style of Barclay, Bevan, Tritton, Ransom, Bouverie,

and Co. The business is conducted as heretofore in Lombard Street and Pall Mall East. The

partners are : Robert C. L. Bevan, J. Gurney Barclay, Francis A. Bevan, Charles T. Murdoch, M.P.,

Robert Barclay, J. Herbert Tritton, Lord Kinnaird, Henry H. P. Bouverie, Wilfrid A. Bevan, and

Edward E. Barclay. Messrs. Seymour P. Bouverie, and Roland Y. Bevan hold the signature of the

firm. (Mr. R. C. L. Bevan died in July, 1890.)

Barentine, Sir Dm,Goldsmith, was a refounder of the Goldsmiths' Hall about 1410, Sheriff in 1393, Lord Mayor

in 1398 and 1408. His name is sometimes written Drew Barentyn.* Stow states that he gavefair lands to the goldsmiths ; he dwelt right against the Goldsmiths' Hall ; between which and his

dwelling-house he built a gallery thwarting the street, whereby he might go from one to the other.

He died in 1415, and was buried in the church of St. John Zachary, as was Christian, his wife, in 1427.

Barnett, Hoare, and Co.

This was probably one of the oldest banking businesses in London, as it occupies the site of the

premises known by the sign of the Black Horse, which continued to be the sign of the house. Mr.

Samuel Hoare favoured me with an impression of that sign done in sealing-wax. It represents a

horse prancing, with his head turned to the right, and with flowing mane and tail.

Upon reference to the"Little London Directory

"for 1677, it will be seen that a goldsmith of the

name of Humph. Stocks was at the Black Horse, in Lombard Street

Now it appears from Pepys' Diary that Mr. Stokes, as he was pleased to call him, was in existence

in his time fully twelve years earlier. He was probably Samuel Pepys' own goldsmith, and it was

with him most likely that he kept his private account That he bought his plate, etc, of him is

proved by the following extracts from his Diary.

The account Pepys kept with Alderman Backwell looks more like an official one than one of a

private character.

Under date January 10, 1665, he writes : "Seeing and saluting Mrs. Stokes, my little goldsmith's

wife in Paternoster Row, and there bespoken a silver charing dish for warming plates." It would

thus appear that he was formerly in Paternoster Row. "On 13 Aug. 1666, after dinner, I abroad

to Stokes, and there did receive jiooo worth in gold, paying i8}</. and lyt. for others exchange."And on September 2, 1666, the same authority states: "And among others, I now saw my little

goldsmith Stokes receiving some friend's goods, whose house itself was burned the day after." OnNovember 12, 1666, Pepys records: "This day I received 450 pieces of gold more of Mr. Stokes,

but cost me 22$ change; but I am well contented with it, I having now nearly ^2800 in gold, and

will not rest until I get full ^3000." Again, on December 18, 1667, he writes : "To look after the

providing of 60 for Mr. Moore towards the answering of my Ix>rd Sandwich's bill of exchange, he

being come to be contented with my lending him .60, in part of it, which pleases me, and this,

which I do do, I hope to secure out of plate, which was delivered into my custody of my Lords,

which I did get Mr. Stokes, the goldsmith, last night to weigh at my house, and there is enough to

secure 100."

Pepys evidently had a view to the main chance.

Nothing further can be ascertained of Stocks or Stokes, or of the Black Horse, until the year 1 700,

when we find by the London Gazette that Robert Stokes was at the Black Horse, then on the site of

the present 53, Lombard Street From an original deed in the possession of the Vintners' CompanyI find that John Bland was at the Black Horse in 1728. He must have remained there until 1749.

when the two houses, the Black Horse and the Bible (now 54), were let to Devereux Bowly, and John

Bland and Son removed not only their business but likewise their sign to the corner of Birchin Lane,

afterwards numbered No. 62.

1761 is the first year in which the name of Bamett is met with in conjunction with this firm,

when it was Bland, Bamett, and Co. In 1763 it became Bland, Barnett, and Bland. In 1766 the

style of the firm was Bland and Barnett. In 1770 the sign of the Black Horse became known as

62, Lombard Street And about 1772-3 they assumed a fresh partner in the person of Mr. Samuel

Hoare, when the firm became Bland, Bamett, and Hoare. The present Mr. Samuel Hoare (who

is the fifth of his name) informs me that his family came from Cork about 1730. In 1768 Samuel

Barnett, Hoare, and Go. continued.

Hoare was apprenticed to Henry Gurney at Norwich. He was anxious to become a banker, so he

looked through the London Directory, and there he found that only one bank in the list had two

partners, that of Bland and Barnett. He offered himself to them, and he became a partner. Hewas the son of Samuel Hoare, a partner in the firm of Gurnell and Hoare, merchants, who lived in

Broad Street, where he had a "pleasant garden."

In 1780 Mr. Hill was admitted into the firm. In 1790 Mr. Eland's name disappeared from it,

and Mr. Barnett, junior, was admitted as a junior partner, the firm then standing as Barnett, Hoare,

Hill, and Barnett. In the year 1800 the style of *he firm changed to Hoare, Hill, and Barnett; and

in 1804 Mr. Hoare, junior, became junior partner. The list of 1808 shows that Mr. Hill had left

them, and the firm had become Hoare, Barnett, Hoare and Co. In 1826 the style of the firm

changed again to Barnett, Hoare, and Co.; which style continued until 1864, when the old bankingfirm of Messrs. Hanbury, Lloyds, and Co. amalgamated with them ; and thenceforth it was knownas Barnetts, Hoares, Hanburys, and Lloyd, the business being conducted in both houses, which adjoin,

i.e. 60 and 62, Lombard Street, the former being that of Messrs. Hanbury.On March 4, 1884, this old-established business was taken over by Lloyd's Banking Company,

and simultaneously with it the business of Bosanquet, Salt, and Co. ; and the style of the house

became Lloyds, Barnetts, and Bosanquet's Bank, Limited.

Bettoyne, Richard de,

Goldsmith. He was Mayor in 1326; and member of Parliament for the City of London in

petition was made by him in 1338, the year of the outbreak of the French war. In his petition,

addressed " To our Lord the King, and his Council," he sets forth that he attended at the coronation

as Mayor, and performed the office of butler, with three hundred and sixty valets, each carrying a

silver cup ;but he complains that the fee which he received from the King on this occasion the

fee, in fact, appended to that service, which was always a gold cup and cover, with a gold enamelled

ewer was made the subject of a charge from the Exchequer. The Sheriffs had been called upon

This firm originated in the year 1795, when Messrs. Wilkinson, Polhill, Pinhorn, Bloxham, and

Bulcock started a banking-house at St. Margaret's Hill, Southwark. In the next year Mr. Pinhorn

retired from the firm to start a fresh one, for particulars of which see"Young." The style of this

firm in 1796 was Wilkinson, Polhill, Bloxham, and Bulcock. In 1799 it was Wilkinson, Bloxham,

Bulcock, Wilkinson, and Taylor ; and in 1805 it became Sir Matthew Bloxham, Wilkinson, Taylor, and

Bloxham. They were then carrying on business at 27, Gracechurch Street, where they remained until

1 809, in which year I believe they failed.

Bloxham and Co. continued.

The following amusing anecdote I insert under the head of this firm, as it probably applied to its

head partner. It is extracted from The News of January 4, 1829 :

"A LONDON BANKER. At the present moment, when so much is said about bankers and

banking business, the following anecdote of a deceased member of the craft may not be unacceptable.Those persons who were well acquainted with the facetious old Knight and there are many livingwill vouch for its authenticity. 'The late Sir M B always used to say,

" D n banking!I hate banking. When I was a banker I never slept soundly, and there never was a day I was not

afraid of stopping payment." Some years after he failed he used to tell humorous stories of the

numerous escapes his bank had had from time to time;take the following as a specimen :

" One

afternoon," said he, "just as we were shutting up for the day, at five o'clock, our head cashier came

running to me, and said,'

Lord, sir, here's a man just come in with a cheque for ^540, and I do not

know what to do; we have only s an<^ a l'lt'e silver and copper in the till."' Oh !' said I,

' never

mind; do you close the doors, and then run out and borrow ^40 and fll keep the chap in jaw ;

'

and so we saved the bank that night ; next morning, luckily, a customer paid in, as soon as we

opened shop, ,2000, which made all right. The fatal day, however, was to come, and come it did,

with a vengeance ; we were run upon most unexpectedly, and, long before I had breakfasted, the

home was shut up, and a large mob was round the doors. For a long time I could not account for

it; at last it came across me like a flash of lightning. We had, only a week or two before we stopped,

taken in a new clerk to replace one that had died, and the cashier, when he went to dinner, bymistake left him at the counter. The chap was a Yorkshireman, and at once saw how things were,

and, not having been used to our ways, he told some friend, that friend told a third, and so we were

run out This, however, I will say for all the other clerks, we paid them well, dined them well once

a week they knew our secret, and kept it for full ten long years. My first toast after dinner always

was,"D n banking.' Curse banking.' B / banking.'" and the next was, to the clerks,

"Come,

boys, hear, see, and say nothing !" ' "

Boldero and Co.

This banking business was established by Thomas Minors at the Vine, in Lombard Street His

name first appeared in the list of bankers in the year 1738 ; and he was probably a goldsmith in the

earlier part of bis career. In 1742 he took a partner of the name of Boldero, and the style of the

firm became Minors and Boldero. In 1760 the firm became Boldero, Carter, and Co.; in 1770 a

rupture appears to have taken place, as the Directory shows that Boldero, Carter, Barnston, Snaith,

and Carter moved to 5, Mansion House Street, while Boldero, Kendell, Adey, and Co., remained in

Lombard Street at the old house, which was then numbered 77. In 1800 the name of Adeydisappeared from the partnership ; and in the year following I find by the Directory that a new firm

had been started at 22, Old Bond Street, under the style of Adey, Macgeorge, and Co., which becameextinct before 1805.

In 1787 the firm of Boldero, Adey, and Co. left Lombard Street, and removed to 30, Cornhill.

In 1801, after Mr. Adey retired from the partnership, the style of the firm became Boldero, Lushing-

ton, Boldero, and Lushington. This firm ceased to exist in 1812.

As to the other firm, which severed its connection with the above, many changes in the names of

the partners took place. In 1786 it was Boldero, Snaith, Sikes, and Boldero, and in 1790 the style

of the firm became Sikes, Snaith, and Snaith, which continued to be the designation until December

>5t '825, when they stopped payment

Bolitho, John, and John Wilsonre goldsmiths, keeping running-cashes at the Golden Lion, afterwards numbered 85, in Lombard

1682, in the possession of W. J. Legh, Esq., who has favoured me by its communication, the writer

states :

" Thear is a fearfull Rout in Lombard Street amongst y" Bankers, yesterday went of Mr.

Bolitho and Mr. Wilson of y* Golden Lyon and Mr. Capell and Mr. Kilborne from y King's Head

and if Reports be true severall others will follow." It was announced in the London Gazette of

August 23, 1683, that Bolitho and Wilson were prepared to make an agreement with their creditors.

Bolton, Job,Was a goldsmith, keeping running-cashes in if>Tj, at the sign of the Bolt and Tun, in Lombard

Street. Very little is to be ascertained about him ; but a curious advertisement was published in the

London Gazette of October i, 1683, concerning a robbery. I will transcribe it in full: "William

Bateman, a young man about 25 years of age, being disfigured with the small pox, a flat bottle nose,

somewhat bow-legged, went away in a light cloth coloured suit lined with black sattin, and black

buttons, having a Prize sad coloured coat over it;Took away out of Lumbard Street a considerable

sum of money, with some guineas, a seven stone diamond ring with several diamond rings and about

36 diamonds, and a parcel of small gold rings, a gold watch and one silver watch. If any person can

give notice of the said Bateman, so as he may be apprehended to Job Boulton, at the Bolt & Tunn in

Lumbard Street, shall have 20."

Bond, Sons, and Co.

Wore established at 2, Change Alley, Lombard Street, about 1791, by John Bond and Son. In

1805 they took a partner, and the firm became John Bond, Sons, and Tattishall, which continued

to be the style until March 28, 1831, when they stopped payment.

Bonny, Francis.

His name is met with in the London Gazette of February 27, 1689 :

" Whereas Francis Bonny,late of London, goldsmith, died _^iioo indebted to the Crown. These are to give notice thereof to

Debtors of the said Bonny, that they may not make any payment to their own prejudice." In another

Gazette of the same month, Hester Bonny, his widow, inserts a notice that Thomas Bonny had some

time since"fraudulently and deceitfully got into his hands, several trunks, wherein was writings of

great value, Jewels, Plate, Linnen, etc., of Francis Bonny decd and other persons. And all personsare cautioned against buying the said goods."

Booth, William,

Goldsmith, circa 1589, of St. Botolph's, Aldgate.

Boothby, George,Goldsmith, also described as a banker, of the Parrot, in St. Clement Danes, Strand. His earliest

date is 1720. The London Gazette of October 24, 1741, in which he is styled"Silversmith and

I '. inker," declares him a bankrupt.

Bosanquet and Co.

The firm of Bosanquet, Salt, Harman, Salt, Bosanquet, and Whatman originated (according to

particulars kindly supplied to me by that firm) between the years 1770-80, when the style of it wasBowles, Beachcroft, and Reeves. But I fail to find any mention of them in the Post Office Directorybefore the year 1796, when the style of the firm appears to have been Bowles, Beachcroft, Brown,Reeves, Collins, and Co., who were carrying on business at 18, Exchange.Alley, Cornhill.

About 1800 Mr. Samuel Bosanquet, who had till then been a partner with Messrs. Foster, Lubbock,and Co., left that firm and entered into partnership with Messrs. Beachcroft and Reeves, who hadbeen partners in the firm of Bowles, Beachcroft, and Co. The style of the firm in 1801 appears as

Bosanquet, Beachcroft, and Reeves, af No. 73, Lombard Street. This house was formerly knownby the sign of the Fox, and afterwards the Union. The firm of Messrs. Bowles, Brown, Ogden, Cobb,

and Co., from which Messrs. Beachcroft and Reeves seceded, appears to have undergone another

change in that year, a division being recorded therein, the particulars of which will be found under

the head of BKIn 1810 the firm became Bosanquet, Beachcroft, Pitt, and Anderdon. In i8ry it was Bosanquet,

Pitt, Anderdon, and Franks. In 1832 the present Mr. James Bosanquet joined the firm. In 1843Mr. Samuel Bosanquet died; and in 1845 Mr. William Godfrey Whatman joined the firm, and

shortly afterwards Mr. John Harman.

In 1867 Mr. Franks retired, and the firm amalgamated with the old Staffordshire Bank of Messrs.

Stevenson, Salt, and Co., and the style became Bosanquet, Salt, Whatman, Harman, Salt, and

Bosanquet.The bank of Messrs. Stevenson, Salt, and Co. appears to have been established by Mr. William

Stevenson, at 85, Queen Street, Cheapside, in 1788 ; and about 1 799 he moved to 80, Lombard Street.

From 1 80 1 to 1818 they were known as Messrs. Stevenson and Sa'.t, when they moved to No'. 20,

Lombard Street. In 1839 the firm became Stevenson, Salt, and Sons; and on June i, 1867, they

amalgamated with Messrs. Bosanquet and Co.

I have been favoured by Mr. John Salt with a copy of a circular, which was issued by Messrs.

Stevenson, Salt, and Co., of Stafford, to their customers, when they had determined to amalgamatetheir country business with Lloyd's Banking Co. ( Limited), the existing representatives of the firms

of Messrs. Lloyds and Co., Messrs. Moilliet and Sons, and Messrs. P. and H. Willia:

From that document I learn that"the firm of Stevenson and Co. is said to have been established

by Mr. Stevenson, an ancestor of the present Salt family on the maternal side, in the year 1737."This was a very early date for the establishment of a country bank. It is mentioned in Macleod's

"Dictionary of Political Economy," that in the year 1750 there were not more than hvtlve banks

established out of London. A great number of private banks were formed in the country between

the year 1 750 and the close of that century.

The Stafford Bank has never been without a member of the Stevenson or of the Salt family in its

management For many years the Webb family also have been associated with it.

The firm of Stevenson, Salt, and Sons, of 20, Lombard Street, which continues its operations as a

private family bank, has always been exclusively confined to the Stevenson and Salt family. It was

established somewhat later than the Stafford Bank, and had a valuable country connexion in the

South of England.This bank was at one time given up, in consequence, we believe, of a dispute between two brothers

of the Stevenson family. It was shortly after reopened, with as much of its old connexion as

could be recovered, by Mr. John Stevenson Salt, the father of the present Mr. Salt, of WeepingCross. Mr. J. S. Salt was for many years the head of the London and Stafford banking-houses. Onhis death they were separated, and continued separate until the death of Mr. John Salt, of 29, Gordon

Square, early in the year 1865, when they were at once united in consequence of the limited number

of partners living. Of course they are now again separated. Many persons regret the loss of the old

and familiar name of Stevenson, Salt, and Co. from the list of Staffordshire firms, for the bank has

always enjoyed the personal attachment of its supporters in a remarkable degree. Yet it is probablethat the wisest course has been taken for the interests both of the partners and their clients.

During the last twenty years banking has assumed a new form. The vast activity and develop-

ment both of the internal and foreign trade of the country the enormous transactions in the monetary

system ; the vigorous competition existing in all branches of trade ; the delicate and uncertain condi-

tion of the money markets ; the tendency of all commercial enterprise to achieve greater success in

combined and extended operations, and the general tone of public feeling in favour of joint stock

trading are gradually, but surely, carrying the banking business out of the hands of private indi-

viduals, and placing it on a wider basis, and on a system more congenial to the habits and feelings of

the day.

Bosanquet and Co. continued.

Moreover, private bankers, who have usually been gentlemen of fortune and position, though

ready enough formerly to conduct and to reap the fruits of a quiet, old-fashioned business, hesitate,

not unnaturally, to sacrifice time and comfort, and to incur the risks and anxieties which appear to be

incidental to the financial business of the present times.

On March 4, 1884, this business, together with that of Barnett, Hoare, and Co., was taken over

by Lloyd's Banking Company, both firms having formerly acted as their London agents, under the

new style of Lloyds, Barnetts, and Bosanquets' Bank, Limited.*

In 1827 it became Bouverie and Lefevre; and in 1830 they removed to n, Haymarket. Twoyears later the firm consisted of the Hon. P. Pleydell Bouverie, Henry Norman, and James GordonMurdock. In 1851 the style of the firm was Bouverie, Murdock, and Bouverie; in 1853 Bouverie,

1678. The alleged murderers were Green, Berry, and Hill ; thus Primrose Hill was long after-

wards known as Green Berry Hill. In the London Gautte of February 26, 1679, the followingadvertisement is to be found :

" Whereas the effigies of Sir Edmund Bury Godfrey hath of late been exactly done to the life

in a medal. These are to give notice that the said medals are to be had of Mr. Bowers at the

sign of the George, a goldsmith's shop, near Salisbury Court, Fleet Street"

him, on the obverse, walking with a broken neck, and a sword in his body ;and on the reverse,

St. Denis, bearing his head in his hand.

Bowes.Sir Martin Bowes, of Abchurch Lane in Lombard Street, a goldsmith of some renown, flourished

during the reigns of Henry VIII., Edward VI., Mary, and Elizabeth. He was member of Parlia-

ment for the City in i547-i55-3, '554, and 1555.He is stated by Herbert, in his

"History of the Goldsmiths' Company," to have lent Henry

VIII., in 1544, the sum of .300, which nowadays appears a very insignificant sum for so greata monarch to borrow. He was a generous benefactor to the Goldsmiths' Company ; among other

gifts, he bequeathed them a property situate in Lombard Street, now No. 67, formerly known bythe sign of the White Lion, the banking-house of Messrs. Glyn, Mills, and Co. In the Committee-room of Goldsmiths' Hall is a portrait of Sir Martin Bowes, with the cup he bequeathed them.

Queen Elizabeth is said to have drunk out of it at her coronation.

When Lord Mayor, in 1546, he was accused of rooting up all the gravestones in the Grey Friars,

and selling them for ^50. He is stated by Hawkins to have coined shillings, in the reign of Edward

VI., at the mint in Durham House, Strand. They were marked with a swan, rose, arrow, or bow.The coins marked with a bow in the reign of Henry VIII. were coined by Sir M. Bowes. Hawkins

says the swan also, perhaps in reference to his armorial bearings. It must be noted that this markoccurs only in the years 1549-50; and we cannot find the name of Bowes later than the first

year of Edward.

He died in 1566, and was buried in the church of St. Mary Woolnoth, Lombard Street.

Brown, Cobb, and Co.

The firm of Messrs. Bowles, Beachcroft, Brown, Reeves, and Collins appears to have started as

bankers about the year 1796, at 18, Exchange Alley, Cornhill, where they remained until 1800, when

a dissolution of partnership took place ; the Directory showing that Messrs. Beachcroft and Reeves

retired, and joined partnership with Mr. Samuel Bosanquet, who left the firm of Messrs. Foster,

Lubbock, and Co. in the same year.

In 1801 Messrs. Bowles, Brown, Ogden, Cobb, and Stokes were at 67, Lombard Street ; but in

the year following another dissolution took plane, and Messrs. Bowles and Ogden left the firm to

start a fresh concern, under the style of Messrs. Bowles, Brickwood, Ogden, and Wyndham, at

ii, Lombard Street ; which in 1808 became Messrs. Brickwood, Morgan, and Starkey, who ceased

to exist after 1810. Messrs. Brown, Cobb, and Stokes, from whom they.seceded in 1802, continued

.the business in the same premises, i.e. 67, Lombard Street, and afterwards in No. 66 until 1816;

after which date they cannot be further traced.

Brown, Collinson, and Tritton.

This firm was founded by Henton, Brown, and Son, about 1 748 ; at least, that is the earliest date

that can be found for them. In 1754 it was Brown and Son. The style of the firm, as shown bythe Royal Annual Kalendar of 1765, was Brown, Henton, and Son, who were carrying on business

in Lombard Street, facing the Castle Tavern. In 1770 this house was numbered 58, Lombard

Street, and the style of the firm was altered to Brown and Collinson. In 1778 the London

Directory shows that it was Brown, Collinson, and Tritton,* which firm appeared for the last time in

the list of bankers in 1781.

Brown, Janson, and Co.

This firm originated about 1813, when it was established by Messrs. Thomas and StephenNicholson, Janson, and Co., at 75, Threadneedle Street. In 1815 they moved to their present house,

In 1791 the firm became Pybus, Call, Grant, and Hale; in 1802, Pybus, Grant, and Hale; and in

1810, Pybus, Call, Marten, and Hale. In 1814 the style of the firm was changed to Marten, Hale,

Castell, Powell, and Co.

This business was established about the year 1759 in Birchin Lane, by John Castell and Son. In

1763 the style of the firm had been altered to Castells and Whately. The London Directory of 1771shows that they assumed a partner of the name of Powell, the firm thus becoming Castell, Whately,and Powell, carrying on business at 66, Lombard Street, formerly the sign of the Spread Eagle. In

1785 it became Castell, Powell, Summer, Powell, and Willson. In 1798 Mr. Summer's name disap-

peared from the firm, and it then became styled Castell, Powell, Son, and Wilson (sometimes spelt

Willson). It is not seen among bankers after the year 1802; but on April 28, 1807, S. Castell and

W. Powell paid a dividend.

LOXDOX BAXKER*. 27

Castell, Powell, and Co. continued.

It is recorded in the Annual Register that on December n, 1773,3 duel was fought in Hyde Park

between Mr. Whately. banker, of Lombard Street (brother to Mr. Whately, late Secretary to the

Treasury), and John Temple, Esq., Lieutenant-Governor of New Hampshire, when the former was

dangerously wounded. The cause of the quarrel was the disclosure of the confidential letters written

by Messrs. Hutchinson, Oliver, Paxton, and Co., which had been laid before the Assembly at Boston,

and had also been published in most of the London papers.

Caswall and Mount.This business, carried on in Lombard Street, originated in the fir^i of Elias Turner and Caswall

(the latter of whom had formerly been in partnership with Mr. Brassey), who were flourishing certainly

aa early as 1713, and were commonly called the Sword-Blade Company. It is very probable that

they were descended from Turner and Tookie, who were keeping running-cashes at the Fleece, in

Lombard Street, in 1677. They were the cashiers of the South Sea Company, a sketch of which will

follow. In 1715 an advertisement in the Daily Courant notifies the loss of a note of Turner and

Caswall's, which was signed by Mr. Mount.

Robert Surman also signed for them in 1715, but he left to found a bank of his own. From the

London Gazette of April 16, 1720, we learn that they had been robbed; George Davis, a small,

sized man, aged 28, with a bandage under his chin, and George Crooke, a porter, being advertised as

having gone away with some effects of their masters, Elias Turner, Sir Cieorge Caswall, and Co., who

offered a reward of fifty guineas for their apprehension.In 1720, the South Sea Bubble year, a customer of theirs made ,250,000 in differences in the

South Sea stock through their hands. Sir George Caswall, who was an M.P., was expelled the Houseand ordered to pay the said sum of .250,000, and was committed to the Tower as a South Sea

director.

The South Sea Company was brought out in the year 1711. During the war with France in the

reign of King William III., the payments to the sailors of the Royal Navy being neglected, theyreceived tickets instead of money ; and they were frequently obliged by their necessities to sell these

tickets at 40, and sometimes 50, per cent below the amounts which they represented. By this

and other means the debts of the nation, unprovided for by Parliament, amounted altogether to

.9,471,325. Mr. Harley, at that time Chancellor of the Exchequer, and afterwards Karl of Oxford,

proposed a scheme to allow the holders of these tickets or debentures, and the other portion of the

floating debt, 6 per cent per annum interest, and to incorporate them for the purpose of carrying on

a trade to the South Seas. They were accordingly incorporated under the title of the Governor and

Company of Merchants of Great Britain, trading to the South Seas and other parts of America, and

for encouraging the fisheries.

Thomas Guy, the bookseller, of i, Cornhill, at the corner of Lombard Street, known as the "luckycomer," made a very large fortune by buying up these tickets and by purchasing South Sea stock when

low, and selling out before the bubble burst He was the generous founder of Guy's Hospital, the

building of which cost him .18,793 l6s- *&, and *l his death he endowed it with the sum of

.210,4990*. 4</.

The fluctuation in this stock during the year 1720, when all the world was speculating in the

most absurd and even impossible schemes, was excessive. On April 7 the South Sea stock was

310 per cent.; on the next day it was 290. On May 23 it stood at 500, on June a at

890, and on June 3 at 640 per cent. The committee then invited a third subscription, and four

millions of stock was taken at 1000 per cent, and before the end of June this rose to 2000 per cent.

Then came the collapse. On September 2 the stock was down to 700, and on the i3th to 400per cent This of course caused ruin to thousands. A great many goldsmiths having advanced

large sums upon the stock, a run was made upon them when it fell, and many stopped payment,among them being the Sword-Blade Company, Turner, Caswall, and Co. The Bank of England also

Caswall and Mount continued.

was sorely pressed, and had to resort to numerous artifices to delay the payment of money. One

of these is explained in Macleod's "Theory and Practice of Banking :

" "It employed a number of

clerks to tell out the money which was demanded, as well as what was brought in. Payments were

made in light sixpences and shillings, and large sums were paid to particular friends who went out

with their bags of money at one door, to deliver them to people placed at another, who were let in to

pay the same money to tellers, who took time to count it over. These persons were, of course, always

served first. By this means time was gained ;the friends of the Bank rallied round it, and made large

subscriptions to support the company ;the festival of Michaelmas, at which it was usual at that time

to shut up the Bank, came, and when it was opened again, the public alarm had passed off."

The South Sea Company were permitted to sell annuities to the value of ,200,000 a year. The

Bank bought them at twenty years' purchase, and was allowed to add 4,000,000 to its capital.

After the failure of the Sword-Blade Company and of the South Sea Bubble, we find that this

business was conducted by John Caswall and John Mount, the latter of whom had signed the notes of

Turner and Caswall in 1715. This firm continued until January, 1742, when we learn from the

London Magazine they had been announced as bankrupts.

The office of the Sword-Blade Company was on the east side of Birchin Lane, looking out on the

churchyard of St. Edmund, King and Martyr. They had a doorway and lights opening on to it, for

which George Caswall paid the parish ten shillings a year. No. 19 now occupies the site.

Central Bank of London (Limited),

Appear to have established themselves at 37, West Smithfield, about 1851. In 1864 this business

was merged into the Albion Bank, which failed in 1871. The London Joint Stock Bank appears

to have lost no time in opening a branch in the Metropolitan Cattle Market.

Chambers, Abraham, 1683-93,

Was a goldsmith at the Golden Eagle, sometimes called the Golden Falcon, over against St.

Dunstan's Church, in Fleet Street. He was brother of James Chambers, the founder of the banking-house of Goslings. Abraham Chambers' daughter, Hester, married Richard Nicholls, a goldsmith,

at the Golden Key. A. Chambers died in 1693, and his son Abraham, who was in the business

with him, died in December, 1733, leaving a son of the same name and three daughters, one of

whom married Edward Usborne. In the Daily Courant, August 1 6, 1710, was the following notice :

"This day, Mr. Barnaby, an attorney of Clifford's Inn, came to the Managers and Directors of the

Lottery at Guildhall, to claim the Thousand Pounds a year, drawn against one of his tickets on

Wednesday last. Mr. Chambers, a goldsmith, of Fleet Street, who took out the ticket, came

with him."

In 1733 we find Abraham Chambers in partnership with Thomas Usborne; the business beingcarried on under the style of Chambers and Usborne until 1749, after which date we see no more

of them. Abraham Chambers died in 1756.

managing director, in July, 1873. It has a guarantee fund of ,27,000, and a paid-up capital of

.26,190.Mr. Hertz, writing to me on July ao, 1875, says :

" We have turned over .1,200,000 this year, and have a balance in hand of .145,000."That speaks well for so young an undertaking. In giving an account of the objects aimed at

in its establishment, I cannot do better than reproduce what has been written by themselves uponthe subject. The following extracts I have taken from the first annual report :

"It has been established on the principle of extending the advantages of banking to small

transactions, and to the most numerous classes, to those persons who, from the smallness of the

sums which they can at any one time command, have hitherto been unable to bank; and to the

numerous small transactions of wealthier persons, which are below the amount for which it has been

customary to draw cheques, and which, if drawn, encumber a banking account with a multitude

of small entries.

3o LONDON BANKERS. [CHE CHI

Cheque Bank (Limited) continued.

" This, is the first feature of novelty : and the soundness of the principle on which it is based

is apparent from the analogy of all commercial undertakings, which show that there is a great mine

of profit to be worked by addressing one's self to the wants and requirements of the greatest number

of persons." As no Cheque Bank cheque can be obtained from the bank until the maximum amount for

which it can be filled up, and which is stamped on its face, has been deposited, cheques on this bank

differ from those on all others in this most important particular : that they are certain to be paid

on presentation. No inquiry into the means or standing of the person who draws them is necessary ;

they can be taken in payment, and can pass from one hand to another with the same confidence,

because they have the same undoubted value as a Bank of England note for the same amount." Another most important peculiarity of Cheque Bank cheques remains to be noticed. Ordinary

cheques must be presented immediately, or as soon as possible after they are received. If an ordinary

cheque is not so presented in due course, as it is called the responsibility and risk of non-payment

fall on the holder.

"Although a balance sufficient to meet it may exist at the time of the drawing in the hands

of the banker, there is nothing to prevent its being drawn out shortly afterwards by another cheque ;

and the only security to the holder lies in instant presentation." The Cheque Bank does not pretend to enter into competition with other existing banks. It

is based on a new system ; and, as it offers advantages hitherto unknown, it looks entirely to new and

untried sources of profit." Their intention is that these cheques shall gradually, but surely, supersede the whole system

of Post-office orders throughout the country, and eventually, probably those in relation with foreign

countries."

Child, John,A goldsmith of London in the reign of Elizabeth.

Child and Co.

This house originated in the goldsmith's business carried on for many years in Fleet Street bya family of the name of Wheeler.

The first record of a goldsmith of this name is met with in the Court Books of the Goldsmiths'

Company as far back as 1559 ; for which information my best thanks are due to Mr. Williams of that

distinguished company.On July i, 1559, when the Goldsmiths' Company furnished a guard of honour from their livery

to escort Queen Elizabeth through the City on her way to Greenwich, the name of John Wheeler,

goldsmith, appears as one of the pykemen. He was then resident in Chepe ;his son went to Fleet

Street. His name likewise occurs on many occasions up to October 18, 1575, when he died, and

was buried in St. Giles', Cripplegate. The name of John Wheeler, his son, also a goldsmith, occurs

CHI] LONDON BANKERS. 31

Child and Co. continued.

in the Parish Register of St Dunstan's on October 3, 1600, as follows: "John Wheeler, goldsmith,

buryed." After him there were two of the name of William Wheeler, father and son, both goldsmiths,

likewise in Fleet Street; the elder of whom, in' the early part of the reign of Charles I., moved from

his old shop to Y* Marygold, hitherto a tavern, next door to Temple Bar.

William Wheeler was Comptroller of the Mint in 1627.*

An advertisement for a gold watch shows us that in 1660 Ye Marygold was a goldsmith's shop.

In 1663 the elder William Wheeler died ; and in the Court Book of the Goldsmiths' Companywe find the following entry, proving that William Wheeler, junior, F. Child's uncle, continued as a

goldsmith :

"27th April, 1666 William Wheeler, the sonne of Willujm Wheeler, Goldsmith, deceased,

upon the testimony of William Rawson and John Marryott, Goldsmiths, was sworn and made free

trimony and paid as of Custome."

Francis Child was the son of Robert Child, of Headington, Wilts, and in 1656 he was apprenticedfor eight years to one William Hall, of London, a goldsmith ; but we lack information concerning

him, either as to his residence or otherwise On October 2, 1671, he married Mrs. Elizabeth

Wheeler, spinster, at St Clement Danes' Church, in the Strand, with the consent of her mother, Mrs.

Martha Blanchard, alias Wheeler.

In 1676 the name of Wheeler is no more seen. The business was then in the hands of Robert

Blanchard, as we find that he rented the Marygold for 61 years of John Land and Elizabeth Land.

We have good reason to believe that Robert Blanchard was a goldsmith as early as 1664. In the

following year, 1677, when the "Little London Directory" was published, we find the names of

Blanchard and Child keeping running-cashes at Y* Marygold.

Francis Child, the industrious apprentice, married Elizabeth, only child of William Wheeler ; and

Robert Blanchard married the widow Wheeler. Thus, in 1681, at R. Blanchard's death, F. Child

became possessed of the whole fortune of the Wheelers and of Blanchard.

Blanchard left .200 to the Goldsmiths' Company 10 pay 4 a year each to two widows, the first

as named in his will, and, as they should die, to such widows of good repute (not under fifty years of

age) as should be named by the Assistants of the Goldsmiths. Me likewise left a legacy of ,100 to

Christ Church Hospital, and another .100 to Bedlam Hospital.

About July, 1681, 1 r.m< i^ Child took into partnership John Rogers.In Herbert's " Great City Companies

"(vol. ii. p. 303) is a brief sketch of Francis Child, who,

according to it, was the"junior of Sir Josiah Child by twelve years, and was apprenticed to William

Wheeler, a thriving goldsmith next door to Temple Bar. Seeing the worth of the young man,Wheeler married him to his only daughter, and, on his death in 1663, left him heir to his business."

Francis Child was the first banker who gave up the goldsmith's business. He has been called

by Pennant " the Father of the Profession." The old ledgers of the firm prior to the year 1690 were

replete with goldsmiths' and pawnbroking accounts mixed up with banking accounts. Indeed,

lending money upon pledges must at that time have been a most profitable part of the gold-

smith's trade.

Francis Child, Knight, Goldsmith, was elected Alderman of Farfingdon Ward Without on

October 22, 1689 ; Sheriff in 1690 ; and Lord Mayor in 1698-9 (by which office he was out of pocket

,4000). Sir Francis Child, together with several leading goldsmiths, was authorized by the Lords

of the Treasury, in 1694, to receive contributions for raising ;i,000,000 on the new duty onsalt and rates of excise. Up to 1695 all persons having bullion were in a position to take it to the

Mint, and receive weight for weight in standard coins. In this year, however, it is on record that

Sir Fran< is Child had 41,819 guineas coined ; and from Narcissus Luttrell's Diary we gather that he,with two or three other bankers, frequently advanced large sums of money to the Governmentbetween 1691-97. He was President of Christ's Hospital in 1702, and represented the City in

the first Parliament of Queen Anne. He had a numerous family.t and some of his sons entered the"Kingdom's Intelligencer," January 28, 1660. f See " Y- Marygold," by F. G. H. Price.

bank; notably Sir Robert, who was elected Alderman of Farringdon Ward Without on October 22,

1713. He was Colonel of the Hon. Artillery Company, and died in 1721.

Francis (the second son of Sir Francis Child) was elected Alderman of Farringdon Ward Without

on October 10, 1721 ;Sheriff 1722 ;

Lord Mayor and knighted in 1732 ;and President of Christ's

Hospital between 1727 and 1740. He was also M.P. for Middlesex between 1721 and 1740, and a

director of the East India Company.About the middle of the year 1729 Mr. Francis Child introduced a printed form of promissory

note, having a vignette of Temple Bar in the 'eft-hand corner. These notes, however, appear to

have been discontinued at the end of the last century. They were worded much in the same manner

as the Bank of England notes are at the present day, and were probably the first printed bank notes

ever known. I have seen notes of Messrs. Child and Co. for the year 1793, proving incontest-

ably that they were not discontinued in 1750, as is stated by Mr. Lawson in his "History 01

Banking."Mr. Stephen Child (son of the first Sir Francis) joined Mr. Tudman, a goldsmith,

"at y Crown,

in Lombard Street," before the year 1708.

Mr. Samuel Child (another son of Sir Francis Child) was for many years head of the firm. Hewas a member of Parliament, and died in 1752.

Miss Elizabeth Child, the eldest daughter of Sir Francis Child, married Tyrringham Backwell,*

son of Alderman Edward Backwell, the celebrated banker of Lombard Street, who was ruined bythe shutting up of the Exchequer by Charles II. in 1672.

This house is the only bank in London in which the clerks all become partners in order of

seniority ;\\hich custom probably originated in the practice of the apprentice, after serving his full

articles, being taken into the firm in partnership with his master. When bankers discontinued having

apprentices (which was, I presume, about the time they left off the goldsmith's trade), their clerks

who had risen from being juniors became head clerks and eventually partners. This practice,

as far as this house is concerned, has been continued ever since the latter end of the seventeenth

century. In the early part of the eighteenth century it was a common occurrence for London

bankers to take their clerks into the firm. The custom has now, however, fallen into disuse.

Messrs. Child and Co. are well known to be the last that adopted the plan of issuing printed

cheques, which custom was revived by them about thirty-five years ago. This was only a revival,

as has been proved by the discovery of a large number of printed cheques of the year 1762, addressed

to Francis Child, Esq., and Co., which are probably the earliest on record. They were continued

by his_brother, Robert Child, and afterwards by Messrs. Child and Co. ; and they appear to have

fallen into disuse about the end of the last century.

In 1683 Prince Rupert's jewels were disposed of by a public lottery, subscriptions for which were

paid to Mr. Child, at the Marygold. The King himself mixed the blanks at Whitehall, in the presenceof a large number of people,f

The old ledgers of this firm are replete with accounts of people famous in the history of Englandin the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Of these the following may be enumerated :

Madame Eleanor Gwynne, the celebrated mistress of Charles II., who died in debt to Messrs.

Francis Child and John Rogers in 1687. Her executors were Laurence Hyde, Earl of Rochester;

Lord Sydney ;Sir Robert Sawyer, the Attorney-General ; and the eighth Earl of Pembroke. They

signed the ledger on January 7, 1687, agreeing to pay 5 per cent, interest on the amount due

to the firm, and to sell 14,443 ounces of plate. Messrs. Child and Co. possess her autograph to

a draft dated December n, 1686. Poor Nell was evidently no scholar, as she could only make

;ther notable name is that of Dr. Stilliogfleet, Bishop of Worcester, of whom the followinganecdote is told by Count Grammont in his

" Memoirs of the Court of Charles II. :

"

"Charles, however, could jest upon his difficulties. He once asked Stillingfleet why he alwaysread his sermons in the Chapel Royal, but preached extempore everywhere else. Stillingfleet

answered that it was from the awe of his audience, and begged to know why his Majesty read his

speeches to Parliament 'Odd's fish! Doctor,' said the King, "tis no difficult question. I alwaysask for money, and I have so often asked for it that I am ashaped to look the members in

the face.'"

On December 18, 1679, writes Cunningham in his Handbook, in Rose Street (between KingStreet and Long Acre), as Dryden was returning home by Long Acre, over against Rose Street, he

was barbarously assaulted and wounded by three persons hired for the purpose, as is now known, byWilmot, Karl of Rochester. Fifty pounds were offered by the King for the discovery of the offenders,

and a pardon in addition, if a principal or an accessory would come forward. But Rochester's

"Black Will with a cudgel" (the name he gives his bully) was bribed to silence, it is thought, by a

better reward. Rochester took offence at a passage in Lord Mulgrave's"Essay on Satire," an essay

in which his lordship received assistance from Dryden.The following advertisement is extracted from the London Gautte, December 22, 1679:

"Whereas John Dryden, Esqr., was on Monday, the i8th instant, at night, barbarously assaulted

and wounded, in Rose Street, in Covent Garden, by divers men unknown, if any person shall make

discovery of the said offenders to the said Mr. Dryden, or to any Justice of the Peace, he shall not

only receive fifty pounds, which is deposited in the hands of Mr. Blanchard, goldsmith, next door to

Temple Bar, for the said purpose ; but if he be a principal or an accessory in the said fact, his

must ever be remembered with reference to Child's. On one occasion when a rumour was afloat

that a run was about to be made on the bank, she collected as much gold as she could and brought

it down herself to Temple Bar on the very morning the run was to be made, so enabling the firm to

meet all demands upon them.

Some people say that she wrote a cheque upon the Bank of England for ,\ 00,000 ;but that is

probably an exaggerated statement, as no entry of such a transaction can be traced. It possibly

may be an event that took place much after the one just described, or it may be another account of

the same event.

In the "History of the Bank of England," Mr. John Francis, who quotes Ireland as his authority

for the anecdote, gives the following account of the run, or "push," as it was then called, made upon

Child's by the Bank :

"He [Ireland] said he received it from an authority not to be doubted; and it is, if true,

curiously illustrative of the evil spirit which, only a century ago, influenced public bodies. It is

probably a partial statement.

"About 1745 the practice of bankers was to deliver, in exchange for money deposited, an

accountable receipt, which they circulated like a modern cheque. Bank notes were then at a

discount ;and the Bank of England, jealous of Child's reputation, secretly collected the receipts of

their rivals, determined, when they had procured a very large number, suddenly to demand money for

them, hoping that Child's would not be able to meet their liabilities. Fortunately for the latter, they

got scent of this plot, and, in great alarm, applied to the celebrated Duchess of Marlborough, who

gave them a single cheque of ^700,000 on their opponents." Thus armed, Child's waited the arrival of the enemy. It was arranged that this business should

be transacted by one of the partners, and that a confidential clerk, on a given signal, should proceedwith all speed to the Bank to get the cheque cashed. At last a clerk from the Bank of England

appeared with a full bag and demanded money for a large number of receipts. The partner was

called, who desired him to present them singly." The signal was given ;

the confidential clerk hurried on his mission ; the partner was very

deliberate in his movements; and, long before he had taken an account of all the receipts, his

emissary returned with .700,000 ; and the whole amount of ^500,000 or ^600,000 was paid by

Child's, in Bank of England notes. In addition to the triumph of this manoeuvre, Child's must have

made a large sum, from bank paper being at a considerable discount."

Mr. Francis considers it is most difficult of belief that any body of honourable men could act so

disgraceful a part. It might probably have arisen out of a spirit of pique and revenge ; as in the

year 1707, when the Pretender was expected to invade England from France, where he had madeextensive preparations, the people became very excited, and the demand for gold was very great.

The result was, that a large sum was drained out of the Bank t>f England and out of the hands of

the goldsmiths.

This was considered an opportunity for two goldsmiths and bankers to make a joint run uponthe Bank of England. They were no less personages than Sir R. Hoare and Sir Francis Child.

One of them had collected bank bills to the value of ,100,000, and the other likewise a large sum;and they demanded payment on presentation. This demand placed the Bank in awkward circum-

stances;but in the end they came out very well, as the Queen informed the directors that she would

allow 6 per cent, interest for their sealed bills for six months.

In addition to this, many of the wealthy nobility advanced large sums to the Bank; and sub-

sequently a call of 20 per cent, was made on the proprietors.

The following romantic and interesting anecdote may be deemed worthy of a place here :

Mr. Robert Child, the last of his name and head of the bank in 1782, had an only daughter,Sarah Anne, who married, on May 20 in that year, John, tenth Earl of Westmorland.

Lord Westmorland, it is said, was dining with Mr. Child one afternoon at Temple Bar, and,

amongst other subjects upon which they conversed, Lord Westmorland said,"Child, I wish for your

opinion on the following case : Suppose that you were in love with a girl, and her father refused

his consent to the union, what should you do ?"

"Why I run away with her, to be sure," was the prompt reply of Mr. Child, little thinking at the

time that it was his daughter that the querist was in love with. Either that same night, or a few

nights after, Lord Westmorland eloped with Miss Sarah Child in a post-chaise and four, from Berkeley

Square House. The duenna, who slept in the outer room of Miss Child's apartment, was drugged

by her maid, and her flight was only discovered by the "Charley" (or night watchman) finding the

front door open and raising an alarm. Mr. Child at once took a post-chaise and pursued the run-

aways. Whether Mr. Child had better horses, or whether he had more relays than the pursued,is not known ;

but he approached so nearly to them near Baldock that Lord Westmorland was

compelled to stand up in his carriage and shoot the leading horse in Mr. Child's chaise. This bold

proceeding gave Lord Westmorland time to get over the border, where the blacksmith was in readiness,

and the pair were married at Gretna Green before Mr. Child could interfere with the ceremony.The following amusing account of the event appeared in the Morning Herald of May 21, 1782 :

' Mr. Child, the banker, and his attendants returned yesterday morning to town, after a vain

pursuit of the Earl of Westmorland, who carried off that gentleman's daughter early on Friday

morning last. Two of Mr. Child's pursuers came up with the amourousfugitives a little on the other

side of Baldock, one of whose horses was instantly shot under him by Lord Westmorland's people,

to prevent his getting ahead of them, the man's intent being to retain all the carriages at the next

stage, and thus stop the lovers' progress. The other servants instantly turned tail, and from that

moment the pursuit was abandoned, so that there is not the smallest doubt but the young spirited

heroine has before this time been hailed the lovely Countess of Westmorland,"

In the same journal appeared the following on dits :

" The Marquis of G m is chiefly affected by a late event ; his Lordship being the adoptedchoice of the young lady's friends ; Mrs. C d, in particular, was his advocate."

" Mrs. C d has taken a most active part to frustrate the intended union, being herself amongthe pursuers. Lord H b t, it is said, feels a severe disappointment in the choice Miss C d has

made, as he considered himself on very good terms with the fair deserter and her relatives."

During the short interval between the runaway marriage and his death, Mr. Robert Child never

forgave Lord and Lady Westmorland. He died suddenly, in the month of July of the same year,

and by his will he left the whole of his immense fortune to the first daughter of the union LadySarah Sophia Fane, who married, on May 23, 1804, George Villiers, Earl of Jersey.*

The I-otidon Facial of October 18, 1784, records the following misfortune that befell a walk-clerk :

" A few days ago a clerk belonging to Mr. Child the banker, being sent out with a number of notes that were

36 LONDON BANKERS. [cm

Child and Co. continued-

An anecdote is also told by one of the customers of the bank that, rather more than half a

century ago, his grandfather, having a considerable sum of money, was anxious to meet with a London

banker to take charge of it. With that view he took a journey to London and visited several

bankers, whom he consulted as to the terms upon which they would take his money. The bankers

anxious to accommodate him, one said he would allow him 2 per cent. ;another said 3 per

cent. ;while a third hesitated as to what he would do. At last he went to Child's where he stated

his business, and asked what interest they would allow upon so large a sum of money. The reply

was : "We shall be happy to take charge of your money, but we will not give you any interest for it"

This answer appeared so to gratify and satisfy the old gentleman that he exclaimed," Then this is

the place for me !

" and he thereupon opened his account. His descendants still bank with the firm;

but Messrs. Child and Co. have given up their old practice of not allowing interest for money on

depositThe following have been the various changes in the firm since the time of Blanchard and Child,

the successors of William Wheeler and Son :

Robert Blanchard died in June, 1681 ;and in July of the same year Francis Child took John

Rogers into partnership with him, and the firm continued for some years under the style of Child

and Rogers.Sir Francis Child died in 1713, when the firm consisted of Robert Child, Francis Child, Henry

Rogers, and Henry Morse, under the style of Sir Robert Child and Co. Sir Robert Child died in

1721; the firm then consisting of Francis Child, Samuel Child, Henry Rogers, Henry Morse, and

John Morse, under the style of Francis Child, Esq., and Co. Henry Rogers died on March 10,

1736; upon which the firm comprised Sir Francis Child, Samuel Child, John Morse, and BarnebyBackwell. Sir Francis Child died in 1740; the firm then became styled Samuel Child, Esq., and

Co., consisting of Samuel Child, Barneby Backwell, and William Backwell, grandsons of Alderman

Edward Backwell. Samuel Child died in 1752, when the firm was composed of Mrs. Agatha

Child, Barneby Backwell, William Backwell, and Thomas Devon, under the style of Childs and

Backwells.

Barneby Backwell died in October, 1754, and John Fludd became junior partner. In 1756William Backwell retired, and the firm consisted of Agatha Child, Francis Child (her son), Thomas

Devon, and John Fludd. The latter died in 1760, and the following change occurred in the firm :

Agatha Child, Francis Child, Robert Child, Thomas Devon, and Robert Lovelace, under the style

of Francis Child, Esq., and Co.

In 1763 both Mrs. Child and Francis Child died, when the style of the firm became Robert Child,

Esq., and Co., consisting of Robert Child, Thomas Devon, Robert Lovelace, Robert Dent, and

John Church.

Robert Child died July 28, 1782, when the firm consisted of Mrs. Sarah Child (widow), Robert

Lovelace, Robert Dent, John Church, and John Keysall, trading under the style of Messrs. Child

and Co.

In 1786 the firm consisted of the following partners: Mrs. Sarah Child, Robert Dent, John

Church, John Keysall, John Edgar, and John Wormald.

In 1788 John Church died; and two years after William Donaldson, who had been a clerk at

Sir C. Asgill and Co.'s, was admitted into the firm.

In 1791 Mrs. Sarah Child married Lord Ducie. She died in 1793; and in 1795 John Dent

became junior partner. In 1798 the firm consisted of Robert Dent, John Keysall, William Donald-

. son, John Dent, and John Wormald, junior. Mr. Wormald, senior, had retired the year before.

become due, received payment for one of them for 10 at a house in Piccadilly ; after which he went to another housefor the like purpose, when on examining his pocket book, he missed a note for .50. He immediately hurried away to

stop payment, but was too late, a man having, about half an hour before, received payment of it all in cash, he absolutely

refusing to accept any paper ; and, what is remarkable, signed the receipt with the name of the gentleman from whomthe clerk had received the payment of the .10."

Child and Co. continued.

John Dent, who was of a Westmoreland family, introduced the dog tax, which was passed under1'itt. From this circumstance he was universally known as "

Dog Dent." He frequently received

large hampers, freely garnished with hare's legs, pheasants' tails, grouse and partridge wings, etc,but invariably rilled with dead dogs.

Harry Smith entered the firm in 1800; and in 1805 Robert Dent and William Donaldson died,the firm then being John Keysall, John Dent, John Wormald, and Harry Smith. On March 4,

1806, John Keysall retired, and Sarah Sophia Child, Countess of Jersey, became head partner. In

1808 the firm was represented by the Countess of Jersey, John Dent, John Wormald, Harry Smith,William Fuller, and James Wood. Harry Smith died in 1817; and in the year following JohnLister became junior partner.

John Dent died in December, 1826 ;and in March, 1827, William Shepherd and Ralph Addison

entered the firm, which was then composed of the Countess of Jersey, John Wormald, William

Fuller, James Wood, William Shepherd, and Ralph Addison.

In 1835 John Wormald died, and, William Shepherd retiring, William Whelan became junior

partner. In the following year John Brown was admitted, and in 1837 William Henry Smith;when

the firm was the Countess of Jersey, William Fuller, Ralph Addison, William Whelan, John Brown,and William Henry Smith. William Whelan was the last to wear powder. Mr. Wormald, who died

in 1835, wore a short brown pigtail wig. At this time the partners and senior clerks wore knee

breeches, shoes and buckles, blue coats with brass buttons, and white neck-cloths. When they went

out they wore gaiters or top boots. In 1840 William Whelan retired, and Ralph Addison died,

and John Wormald became junior partner. In 1842 William Fuller retired, and in 1843 JohnBrown died; the business was then carried on by the Countess of Jersey, William Henry Smith

John Wormald, William Wood, and John Copp. The latter died in 1848, and William Woodretired in 1849; and in March of that year William Shepherd, George Addison, and EdwardRobinson became partners. In March, 1859, Mr. Smith retired, and in 1860 Thomas Hiram Fraser

was admitted junior partner. Mr. Shepherd died in 1862, and Alfred Mortimer was admitted to the

firm. In 1866 Mr. Fraser died, and Frederick William Price became junior partner.

The Countess of Jersey died on January 26, 1867, and Mr. Mortimer retired in the course of the

same year, when Charles Thorold Fane filled the vacant place. In 1868 the firm consisted of the

Hon. F. W. C. Villiers (trustee for the Earl of Jersey), John Wormald, George Addison, Edward

Robinson, Frederick William Price, and Charles Thorold Fane. In 1872 the Hon. F. W. C. Villiers

died, and George Addison retired ; whereupon the Earl of Jersey became head partner, and Robert

Hughes Potter junior partner. In Marrh, 1874, Edward Robinson retired, and in November of that

year John Wormald died, and Edward Prichard Evans became junior partner; and in March, 1875,Frederick Littlehales was admitted into the firm.

In 1883 E. P. Evans retired, and Cieorge Gunning was admitted into the partnership. In 1886

k. H. I'otter retired, and in 1887 Frederick George Hilton Price became a partner; F. Littlehales

retired, and George Lionel Dashwood was admitted into the firm. On January 31, 1888, F. W. Price

died, and in 1889 John Hall became junior partner. Thus in 1890 the business is carried on by the

representatives of the Right Honourable Sarah Sophia Child, Countess of Jersey, deceased (Earl of

Jersey and Charles Thorold Fane, representatives and partners in respect thereof), Charles Thorold

Fane, George Gunning, Frederick George Hilton Price, George Lionel Dashwood, and John Hall,

goldsmith to the King.

Clayton, David,Goldsmith, was at the Golden Unicorn, in Cheapside, in 1703.

Clearing House.The system of clearing, as first adopted, was certainly primitive and unsafe. Mr. Lawson says :

" The clerks of the various banking-houses used to perform the operation of exchanges at the corners

of streets and on the top of a post ; they then met by appointment at a public-house ; but, from the

insecurity of these arrangements, it was at last thought advisable that the principal City bankers should

rent a house near the Post-office in Lombard Street. This house was called the Clearing House.

To it bankers send all their bills, cheques, etc., which have been paid in since the clearing of the

previous day." In the "Grasshopper," Mr. J. B. Martin says that for clearing they very often resorted

to a banking-house, which had a large recess in the window, which they found convenient ;but the

house in question found it to be just the opposite, and the noise made such a hindrance to business

that, as it is said, they were often summarily turned out. This led to a house being taken in 1810.

Mr. Martin thinks it quite possible that the Grasshopper was the rendezvous referred to;but

an entry in 1773, "Quarterly charge for use of clearing-room, 19*. 6<f.," gives an earlier date to its

establishment

I have observed that in the middle of the seventeenth century it was the practice of goldsmiths to

keep running accounts with each other, for the convenience of being able to transfer money from their

respective accounts to those of others, as directed by their customers having cash accounts with such

goldsmiths or bankers. Thus an early system of clearing was established, which has since becomesuch a vast and important element in the banker's business.

In the ledgers of Alderman Edward Backwell (in the possession of Messrs. Child and Co.) cover-

ing the years 1663 and 1672, and in the early books of Messrs. Blanchard and Child of the same

period, may be seen accounts testifying to the prevalence of this custom among most of the principal

goldsmiths of that time.

In Messrs. Child and Co.'s clearing books for about the year 1753, I have noticed that bankers'

clerks, calling to collect the various cheques they had upon the house, were occasionally paid bycheques or cash notes that Messrs. Child chanced to have upon such bankers in part payment, the

remainder being settled for by a cash-note or coin. For instance, suppose that Messrs. Martin and

Co. had a charge of ^500 upon Child and Co. Child's happening to have drafts on Martin to the

extent, say, of ,400, the walk-clerk would take such drafts, and the balance would be paid by banknotes or coin.

The present system of the Clearing House is a vast improvement. Here every banker, whom the

committee of bankers agree to receive into the house, has a desk in it, with his name affixed ; and

from the various bankers come in from time to time, when the house is open for business, and

deliver all the cheques they have received since the previous day to the desks of the several bankers

upon whom they have drafts or bills, first of all writing their names across each cheque. This was

the origin of crossed cheques, a practice now generally adopted as a security against fraud. Theamounts of these drafts are taken down upon sheets of

\> 'caring-clerk, and the chequesare then sent over to their respective banks to be cancelled by the firm. At this establishment theysettle the whole amount delivered during the day by receiving or paying the difference by a transfer

on the Bank of England ;all the clearing bankers keeping an account with that institution. On

May 15, 1889, the vast total was reached of .71,090,000. The largest cheques upon record were

for .2,062,907 lot. and ^2,012,680 respectively. Messrs. Martin and Co. informed me that theyreceived the one and paid the other on July 4, 1888.

Bet ii, 1854, the clearing was settled by bank notes; for which purpose an average

amount of .200,000 was required to adjust its transactions,

The joint-stock banks were admitted to the Clearing House on June 8, 1854.

This reform was followed by another of equal consequence to the banking community, namely,the establishment of the Country Clearing House on November 22, 1858 ;

appear in the list of bankers before the year 1763, when we find that Biddulph and Cocks were at

the New Buildings, Charing Cross.

In the following year the name of George Ridge is met with on cash-notes, signing for the firm.

Mr. Ridge had formerly been an army agent, and his ancestor had been Paymaster-General to the

mcntary army, and subsequently he became an army agent. The iron chest in which he kept

his cash for the soldiers is still in the possession of the bank. In 1776 the firm was Biddulph, Cocks,

In the list of 1792 two of the members had left the firm, and the style became Biddulph, Cocks,

and Ridge, which continued until 1820, when the style changed, and it became Cocks, Cocks, Ridge,

and Biddulph. From 1827 until 1845 it was Cocks and Biddulph; afterwards it became Cocks,

Biddulph, and Co.

In 1860 it was Biddulph, Cocks, and Co., and that continued to be the style of the firm until

1865, when it reverted to Cocks, Biddulph, and Co., which is its present designation.

Amongst their earliest accounts were John Berwick, of the Old Bank, Worcester, and Brasenose

College, Oxford ;both of which connections are kept up to the present day. The present premises

were built in 1873. The firm consists of the following partners:

Reginald Thistlethwayte Cocks.

Coggin, Henry,Late Controller of the Mint, had four ingots of silver belonging to the late King, brought to the

Coggs, John,Was a goldsmith keeping running-cashes, according to the Little

" London Directory"published in

1677, at the King's Head, in the Strand. He evidently had been in business long before this, as he

kept an account with Blanchard and Child for purposes of clearing, as early as 1664, which account

is headed " Brother Coggs."I have seen his signature on the backs of drafts as early as 1685-87. The following draft, of

which I submit a copy, is dated London, August 18, 1685 ;

"I pray the bearer hereof, Mr. John Cogs, goldsmith, the sum of foureteene pounds, and put it

on the account of Dr. Edward Chamberlayne." For Capt. Child, Goldsmith,

"Temple Bar."

In 1696 we find that Coggs had a partner, Charles Holloway, and that John Dann signed for

them.

The following interesting advertisement appeared in the London Gazette of July 6, 1696, and givesa date for the commencement of that grand institution, Greenwich Hospital :

" The Treasurer of Greenwich Hospital for Seamen, having appointed Mr. Cog's against St.

Clement's Church in the Strand and Mr. Nathaniel Hornby's in Lombard Street, goldsmiths, to be

places of his receipt ; All Persons who have subscribed thereto, are desired to pay in their money ;

the Foundations of the Building being begun the 3Oth past in the presence of the Commissioners,and many hands at work."

Upon another draft drawn in 1707 by Laurence Hyde, Earl of Rochester, in favour of the Earl

Deloraine, the following endorsement occurs :

"Witness Wm. Wilson, for Messrs. Coggs and Dann."

Thus it will be seen that Mr. Coggs had taken a partner at this period. 1708 is the last year in

which I have been able to find the name upon^any document.

The following interesting letter, which is in the possession of Messrs. Child and Co., was addressed

to Henry Morse (one of the partners in that firm) by the Earl of Litchfield, proving that customers,before the days of pass-books, were in the habit of calling at their bankers' to check their accounts, at

foot of which they subscribed their names with "I allow this account." It is of frequent occurrence

in the ledgers of Messrs. Child and Co.

" LITCHFIELD."

In addition to the Earl of Litchfield, and Earl Deloraine, the Earl of Ailesbury banked with them,as is proved by a draft of Mr. Edw*- Ryder's in 1687, addressed to Mr. Cratford, desiring him to payMr. John Coggs for the use of the Rt Hon 1* the Earl of Ailesbury the sum of three hundred

pounds.The following interesting advertisement appeared in the London Gazette of May 7, 1702 :

"I

row of rose diamonds down the middle, with knots of small rose diamonds on each side ; in the

Coggs and Dann, goldsmiths, over against St. Clement's Church in the Strand, shall have 40 guineasfor the stomacher and 20 guineas for the large stone."

Messrs. Coggs and Dann failed, and a meeting of creditors was called on January 26, 1709.

I have seen an account in Messrs. Child and Co.'s ledgers of 1742, headed, "The Trustees of the

Estate of John Coggs and John Dann, late Bankers in the Strand." In that year a dividend of

y. 6d. in the pound was paid, the trustees being the Rt. Hon*4*John Tylney, Esq., commonly called

Lord Castlemain ; Peter Walter, Charles Compton, Edward Compton, William Granville, and William

1 )raper, Esquires ; and William Townsend and George Sherwood, Gentlemen.

The earliest date at which any mention is made of the firm of James Colebrooke and Co., bankers,

is 1706, when their name is found upon an old cash-note.

In May, 1720, they advertised thus in the London Gazette : "James Colebrooke and Co. being in

being the mutual interest of both to have them joined together." James Colebrooke was called a

scrivener in 1722.

They appear in the London Directory of 1736 as Colebrooke, Rooke, and Harvey, behind the

Royal Exchange ; and, in another list, as near the Antwerp Tavern, Threadneedle Street. In 1740the style of the firm became Colebrooke and Lightfoot; and in 1743 it was Sir James Colebrooke,

Bart., and Co. In 1756 a customer's signature is witnessed by W. Binns for James Colebrooke, Esq.,

and Co.* In 1771 the Directory shows further changes; the firm standing as Sir George Cole-

brooke, Lessingham, and Binns. The latter had been their clerk, and their house was then numbered

62, Threadneedle Street, which in 1778 was taken by Prescott, Grote, and Co. They stopped

payment March 31, 1773.

On May 4, 1773, we learn from the "Annual Register" : "At a meeting of the creditors of Sir

George Colebrooke, the trustees, who at a former meeting were appointed to enquire into the estate

and effects of that gentleman, made their report, by which it appeared, that the balance in favour of

Sir George was .315,000 ; that from that balance the trustees had thought proper to write off ^120,000on account of Sir George's engagements for his brother-in-law, Mr. Gilbert, and ,89,000 which had

been settled on Lady Colebrooke and her family, which reduced the balance to .106,000, besides

the eventual chance of the Chilham estate in Kent;that notwithstanding this balance, by reason of

the diffuse state of Sir George's effects, it must be near two years and a half before the creditors

could be paid their principal and interest ;but that is. in the pound should be advanced within the

space of two months. With this promising state of Sir George's affairs the creditors seemed well

satisfied;and it was proposed by some gentlemen present, that Sir George should again resume the

banking business with his old partners ;but others were of opinion that it would be proper to

associate a new partner, who would have an interest in keeping the old debts distinct."

Again, on April 24 :

of Richard Colvill, of Newton Colvile, in the Island of Ely. He was a friend of Samuel Pepys, bywhom he is mentioned several times in his Diary. The first transaction he records as having hadwith him apparently did not much please him. It was on May 24, 1665 :

" After dinner Creed and

I to Colvill's, thinking to shew him all the respect we could by obliging him in carrying him 5 tallys

of .5000, to secure him for so much credit he has formerly given Povy to Tangier, but he, like

an impertinent fool, cavills at it, but most ignorantly that ever I heard a man in my life."

On another occasion, in October of that year, he went to Lombard Street :

" But Lord ! howColvill talks of the business of publique revenue like a madman, and yet I doubt all true ; that nobodyminds it, but that the King and Kingdom must speedily be undo

On June 2, 1665 :

" In the afternoon went with my tallys, made a fair end with Colvill and Viner,

delivering them .5000 tallys to each and very quietly had credit given me upon other tallys of Mr.

Colvill for ^2000 and good words for more." Then again, on June 29, 1665 : "After dinner to mylittle new goldsmith's, whose wife indeed is one of the prettiest, modest blark women that ever I saw.

I paid for a dozen of silver salts j6. 14. 6." On August 28, 1665 :" To Mr. Colvill the goldsmith,

having not for some days been in the street, but now how few people I see, and those looking like

people that had taken leave of the world." This was during the time of the Plague. On July 23,

1666, he went out to the Excise Office about business, and then homewards met Colvill," who tells

me he has 1000 ready for me upon a tally ;which pleases me, and yet I know not now what to do

with it, having already as much money as is fit for me to have in the house, but I will have it." Hewent again on August 1 1, and to his great joy he will make above 100 by one transaction. OnAugust 13 he went " back again to Colvill's and there did end our treaty, to my full content, about

my Exchequer assignment of .2600 of Sir W. U'arr- hich I gave him ,170 to stand to the

hazard of receiving it. So I shall get clear by it .230, which is a very good jobb. God be praisedfor it"

His house in Lombard Street was destroyed by the Fire. Pepys went to see him on October 15,

and found he then lived "in I.yme Street and with the same credit as ever, this fire having not

done them any wrong that I hear of at all."

And again, on February 29, i66J, Pepys records :

" Wrote to my father, and sent him Colvill's

note for j6oo for my sister's portion." This is one of the earliest records we have of a gold-smith's note, which was issued by the goldsmith for the amount of money deposited with him. It

was the origin of bank notes. On March n, 1668, Pepys says: "Meeting Mr. Colvill, I walked

with him to his building, where he is building a fine house where he formerly lived, in Lombard Street ;

and it will be a very fine street."

This John Colvill had deposited .85,832 17*. id. in the Exchequer, and that sum he lost by the

. shutting it up in January, 1672. The amount was fourth in magnitude; and he must have

been in a large way of business to have been able in those days to deposit so much at interest at onetime.

Majesty granted the usual bond, dated April, 1677, unto John Lyndsey, as due to Dorothyhis wife, administratrix to John Colvill, her late husband, deceased. The total of interest directed to

be paid was .5149 17*. id. per annum. As he died between 1672 and 1674, it is quite possiblethat this severe loss was the cause of his death.

and it likewise took over the business of the Bank of London, when that bank failed in 1866 ; but the

Courtnall, Nicholas,

Coutts and Co.

The widely known banking-house of Messrs. Coutts and Co. was originally established by a

goldsmith of the name of George Middleton, who kept a shop near St. Martin's Church, St Martin's

Lane. The first mention of this goldsmith occurs in or about 1692, when he had a partner of the

name of John Campbell. Thus in that year Messrs. Middleton and Campbell were carrying on

business as goldsmiths and bankers.

John Campbell was at the Three Crowns, in the Strand, near Wungerford Market, in 1692. In

1694 an advertisement for something lost directs the inquirer to apply to Mr. "Camels," at the Three

Crowns. We also see by the London Gazette that he was there in 1696 and 1702. When he left

St. Martin's Lane cannot now be ascertained ;it might have been a few years earlier. It is interest-

ing to place upon record, on the same authority, that in January, 1683, John Wright, a haberdasher,

was at the Three Crowns, near Durham Yard, in the Strand ; thus proving that that was the sign

of the house before Middleton or Campbell moved to it.

Another early note of this business, exposing a fraud, is to be found in the following advertisement,

which appeared in the London Gazette of February, 1 706 :

"Whereas on Monday, 27th January, about 10 in the morning, a gentlewoman slept in a hackneycoach at Mr. John Campbell's, goldsmith, at the Three Crowns in the Strand, and brought a note

of Mr. Campbell's hand for^ioo which she there exchanged fora Hank of England of the same

value, and about half an hour afterwards the said ^100 was paid by the Bank to a woman: If any

person will discover the woman to Mr. Campbell so as that the ^Jioo (which was fradulently received;

may be recovered, such person shall receive from Mr. Campbell ^40 as a reward." This is certainly

one of the earliest instances of a fraud being perpetrated upon a banker by a well-dressed woman.A very curious advertisement, that appeared in a weekly paper called The British Apollo for

Man h 2, 1 7 1 1, ran as follows :

This day subscriptions are taken in upon Birth and Marriages, at the Three Crowns, next

Durham-Yard in the Strand, for 6 weeks, and Servants 3 months upon a dividend. Likewise subscrip-

tions are taken in upon marriages, upon a claim for a month. Trustees being chosen, and undeniable

security is given for the performance of the same. Proposals are to be had at the Office Gratis."

The next advertisement selected by us is of a different character. It appeared in the DailyCourant of January, 1714 :

" To be sold a good brick house, etc., at the end of the five fields goingto Chelsea. Apply to George Middleton at the Three Crowns." Apart from the interesting nature

of the advertisement, it is valuable as proving the fact that George Middleton was there at that time,

he being the sole partner. John Campbell died in 1712, and was buried in St Paul's Churchyard,Covent Garden ; and George Middleton, whom he left as his sole executor, married Mary Campbell.Her sister Elizabeth married John Peagrim, and Middleton took George Campbell into partnership.

It has been my good fortune to see a large number of old cash-notes and drafts of Messrs. Child

and Co. (between 1706 and 1748) bearing endorsements of this firm; some of which show the auto-

graphs of George Campbell (many of them witnessed by David Bruce, who afterwards was admitted

a partner) and of Ralph Bullock,* who signed for the house from 1743 to 1761.

Between 1743 an^ *748 George Middleton died, and George Campbell associated himself in

partnership with hi.s clerk, David Bruce, who had witnessed the signatures of customers for the past

twenty years.

In 1753 the business appears to have been solely in the hands of George Campbell. About 1755,

however, he took James Coutts into partnership.

Coutts and Co. continued.

This James Coutts was the son of John Coutts, a merchant of Edinburgh, who by his industry and

perseverance became Lord Provost from 1742 to 1744. His portrait is in the possession of the

Baroness Burdett Coutts, and in it he is depicted in the costume of the time of George II. He had

four sons, John, James, Patrick, and Thomas. The two former started business in Edinburgh as

corn factors, and had for partner their cousin Stephen ; while Patrick and Thomas, with Thomas

Stephen, came to London and set up in Jeffrey Square, St. Mary Axe.

It is stated that, when James Coutts came up to London on a visit to his brothers, he happenedto meet a Miss Polly Peagrim, the niece of George Campbell, the goldsmith of St. Martin's Lane ;

and that he fell in love with her, and was married to her. Shortly after this happy event he was taken

into partnership by Mr. Campbell, and at the same time he retired from the old business in connexion

with his brothers in London and Edinburgh.The firm now became Campbell and Coutts ; and they carried on their trade near Durham Yard,

in the Strand.

George Campbell died in 1761; whereupon James Coutts took into partnership his brother

Thomas Coutts, who at once gave up his connexion with the business in St. Mary Axe, and the style

of the firm became Coutts and Coutts.

Thomas Coutts being the only one left to conduct the business in St. Mary Axe, it was entirely

given up, upon his becoming a banker. The Edinburgh branch, however, continued to prosper for

many years. Eventually it assumed the style of Sir William Forbes and Co., and finally merged into

the Union Bank of Scotland.

Mr. James Coutts, who in 1768 represented Edinburgh City in Parliament, died in 1778. The

charge of the bank in the Strand then devolved upon his brother Thomas, who long survived him, and

became one of the first bankers in London. However, he never forgot Edinburgh, which he occa-

sionally visited;and he was presented with the freedom of that city.

A characteristic instance both of his shrewdness and of his enterprise is given by Mr. Martinin his

" Stories of Banks and Bankers," extracted from Lawson's "History of Banking."

" In the

early part of his career, Mr. Coutts, anxious to secure the cordial co-operation of the heads of the

various banking-houses in London, was in the habit of frequently inviting them to dinner. On oneof these occasions the manager of a City bank, in retailing the news of the day, accidentally remarkedthat a certain nobleman had applied to his firm for a loan of ^30,000, and had been refused. Mr.Coutts listened, and said nothing; but the moment his guests had retired, about ten o'clock in the

evening, he started off to the house of the nobleman mentioned, and requested the honour of an inter-

view with his lordship the next day. On the following morning the nobleman called at the bank.Mr. Coutts received him with the greatest politeness, and, taking thirty one-thousand-pound notesfrom a drawer, presented them to his lordship. The latter, very agreeably surprised, exclaimed :

' But what security am I to give you?''I shall be satisfied with your lordship's note of hand,' was

the reply. This was instantly given, with the remark,'I find I shall only require for the present

^ro,ooo ;I therefore return you ^20,000, with which you will be pleased to open an account in

my name.'" The generous or, as it may more truly be called, exceedingly well-calculated act

of Mr. Coutts was not lost upon the nobleman; who, in addition to paying in within a few months

^200,000 to his account, being the produce of the sale of an estate, recommended several highpersonages to patronize the Bank in the Strand. Among some of the customers who did so patronizeit was King George III., who continued to keep his accounts there, until the following incident took

place, as recorded by Mr. Lawson :

" Mr. Coutts had advanced ^100,000 to Sir Francis Burdett towards the expenses of his electionfor Middlesex. On this fact becoming known to the King, he sent for Mr. Coutts, and, after satis-

fying himself of the real facts of the case, immediately withdrew his money from the bank, a consider-able portion of which he placed in the hands of a banker at Windsor, who, to the great mortificationof the King, subsequently failed, considerably in his Majesty's debt."

/>'J.YA7:7v'.v. 47

Coutts and Co.^ntimtfJ.The King, however, oj.cneJ an account with Mr. Drummond, at Charing Cross, with whom he

banked until his death.

Messrs. Coutts and Co. have in their possession an old guinea, called " the lucky guinea," which

when I saw it was in the keeping of the chief cashier. It has an interesting and curious history

attached to it. It would appear that old Mr. Thomas Coutts was a man who was negligent of attire;

and on one occasion, no less than a Christmas Day, he chanced to be in a tavern, or eating-house,

where he met a benevolent gentleman who, concluding from Mr. Coutts's appearance that he stood in

need of a good dinner, offered him a guinea. The proffered gift was readily accepted by the wealthy

banker, who preserved it as a curiosity; and it is further stated that Vr. Coutts ascertained the name

of his benefactor, and invited him to his house, when he related the anecdote to him and his guestSj

assuring him that he should keep the guinea as long as he lived. It subsequently became the property

of the Duchess of St. Albans, his widow, and at her decease it was kept in the bank, where it has

been ever since preserved. Another equally amusing story is told of Mr. Coutts going to see a miller

in Kent. Upon parting with the banker, the miller said :

"I leu-, my man, is half a crown for you

to have a glass of ale." Mr. Coutts thanked him, pocketed the coin, and departed Shortly after-

wards the miller came to the Strand to see Mr. Coutts, and, naturally enough, was greatly horrified

at finding he was the man he had treated as a servant. Mr. Coutts, however, begged he would not

apologize, as he was very much obliged to him. He had had the glass of ale, and should keep the

half-crown.

Mr. Coutts, who had lived as bachelor for many years, married Elizabeth Starkey, a superior

domestic servant in his brother's service ; and by her he had three daughters, who were called the

"Three Graces." The eldest, Susan, married the Earl of Guildford ; the second, Frances, married

the Marquess of Bute ; and Sophia, his third and youngest daughter, married Sir Frances Burdett,

Bart

Mrs. Coutts, after being an invalid for some years, died. Mr. Coutts then married Miss Mellon,

the actress; and for some time they were both much annoyed by the unworthy and ridiculous remarks

that were passed upon their union. Such criticism, however, is supposed to have strengthened their

mutual attachment, for, when Mr. Coutts died on February 22, 1822, at the advanced age of 87, he

left his widow the whole of his properly, amounting to ^900,000 ; a sufficient proof of the confidence

he reposed in her.

Mrs. Coutts afterwards married the Duke of St. Albans. She, however, reserved to herself, by

marriage settlement, the sole control of her property ;and at her death she left the whole of her great

wealth to Angela Burdett, the youngest daughter of Sir Francis Burdett, who was the favourite grand-

daughter of Mr. Thomas Coutts. This lady then assumed the additional surname of Coutts; and

quently she was created a peeress with the title of Baroness Burdett-Coutts.

The present banking house, No. 59, Strand, was built by Messrs. Adam, in 1768, on the site

of the old house. In Cunningham's "Handbook of London," under the head of "Strand," the

following particulars of the house are given :

"It contains some good marble chimney-pieces of the

Cipriani and Bacon school. The dining-room is hung with Chinese subjects on paper, sent to Coutts

by Lord Macartney, while on his embassy to China in 1792-95. In another room is a collection

of portraits of the early friends of the wealthy banker, including the portrait of Dr. Armstrong, the

poet, by Sir Joshua Reynolds. The strong rooms, or vaults of the house, will repay an endeavour

to obtain a sight of them. The order in which the place is kept is wondrous."

It would be extremely interesting to see a list of the many historical and distinguished personswho have from time to time kept their accounts with this house. Among them are included the

kings and queens of England from the time of George II. down to Queen Victoria, and the various

members of the present royal family ; the royal families of France ; the Jacobite Earl of Nithsdale,who escaped from the Tower on February 28, 1715, disguised as a woman, in the cloak and hood

provided for him by his heroic wife ; the first Duke of Wellington ;William Pitt ; Sir Thos. Lawrence ;

After the death of Thomas Coutts, the firm became known by the familiar style of Coutts and Co.,

which it retains to the present day. We may add that Messrs. Coutts and Co. absorbed the bankingfirms of Messrs. Davison and Co. in 1816, and of Hammersley and Co. in 1840.

Cox and Co.

The business of this house originated in 1758, when Mr. Richard Cox, who had been for sometime secretary to Lord Ligonier, at that time Field Marshal Commander-in-Chief and Master-General

of the Ordnance, was appointed by him agent to the ist Regiment of Foot Guards. Mr. Cox's office

was in Albemarle Street, where he carried on his business alone till 1765, in which year he entered

into partnership with Mr. Henry Drummond, when they commenced their joint business in Craig's

Court under the style of Cox and Drummond.In July, 1772, Mr. Drummond left the business to join Drummond's Bank, and was succeeded

in the partnership by Mr. Mair; the firm then becoming Cox and Mair. In 1779 Mr. Cox took his

only son, Mr. Bethel Cox, into partnership, the firm becoming Cox, Mair, and Cox. In 1783 Mr.

Mair died, and was succeeded by his cousin, Mr. Greenwood, who had been assisting in the manage-ment of the business for some years, when the firm became Cox, Cox, and Greenwood. In 1790Mr. Bethel Cox retired from the firm, which then became Cox and Greenwood. In 1800 Mr. Cox's

grandson, Mr. Richard Henry Cox, became a partner, and in 1803 Mr. Cox, the founder of the

house, died at the age of 86, whereupon the firm became Greenwood and Cox.

In 1806 Mr. Hammersley, Mr. Greenwood's nephew, was taken into partnership, and the firm

was then styled Greenwood, Cox, and Co. Mr. R. H. Cox's son, Mr. Henry R. Cox, became a

partner in 1828, the name of the firm remaining unaltered. In January, 1832, Mr. Greenwood died;and two years later the name of Greenwood was dropped, and the firm became Cox and Co., bywhich name it has been known ever since.

During all these years, from 1765 to 1888, the offices of the firm remained in Craig's Court; but

in the later year they moved into new and adjacent premises in Charing Cross, still, however, retainingand occupying such portion of the old Craig's Court house as was freehold.

house of Messrs. Neale, James, Fordyce, and Co. They established themselves at 29, Cornhill ;the

style of the firm being Mason, Currie, James, and Yallowby.

I am of opinion that the Mr. James above mentioned was the same gentleman who was in

partnership with Neale and Fordyce. J. Yallowby was their clerk, and had been in the habit of

witnessing the signatures of that firm for some few years, as may be seen on some of the old notes

of Messrs. Child and Co. In 1781 the firm was Currie, Lefevre, James, and Yallowby ; and in 1785

Lefevre, Curries, James, and Yallowby. In 1788 Mr. James' name ceased to appear, and a junior

partner of the name of Raikes was admitted into the firm.

In 1807 the style of the firm again changed, by the disappearance of Mr. Yallowby's name from

the list, and the introduction of a new partner of the name of Lawford. In 1814 the firm was

styled Curries, Raikes, and Co. ;and from 1827 until 1864, when they amalgamated with Messrs.

Glyn, Mills, and Co., the style of the firm was Curries and Co.

The firm of Dorrien and Co., of Finch Lane, amalgamated with Messrs. Curries in 1842 ; but

that circumstance did not alter the style of the firm.

In the following year Mr. Smith's name did not appear among the partners of the firm in the list

Wedgwood, carrying on business at 34, Pall TSla.ll. In 1807 the name of Johnson disappeared from

the firm, and the business was carried on by the other partners until 1816, when this banking-houseceased to exist, and many of the customers were recommended to transfer their accounts to Messrs.

Coutts and Co., who still have possession of their ledgers, etc. Their premises were taken by Messrs.

Devaynes and Co. continued.

Edward Baclovell, goldsmith and banker in the reign of Charles II. Mr. William Backwell

had been in the bank of Messrs. Child and Co. for many years, having entered that house about 1 7 20

as a junior clerk, and in or about 1740 having been taken into partnership with Mr. Samuel Child

and his brother, Barneby Backwell. After Mr. Child's death in 1752, Mrs. Agatha Child became

head partner in trust for her two sons. The business was then virtually in the hands of the two

brothers Backwell, the firm being known as Messrs. Child and Backwell. It having transpired that

they had tried to get the whole business into their own name, ignoring the Child interest, a dispute

arose between Mrs. Agatha Child and William Backwell as to the division of profits ; and it was

referred to, and settled by, the Lord Chancellor in 1755, Mr. William Backwell retiring from the

partnership.

The year following (1756) he established a bank at the sign of the Grasshopper in Pall Mall,

afterwards numbered 39, the site of the present Army and Navy Club house. I have seen cash-notes

in Messrs. Child's possession dated 1756, endorsed "For Messrs. Backwell and Co., John Battye."

In 1765 the Royal Annual Kalendar gives the names of the firm as Backwell, Hart, Darell, and

Croft. The latter was Robert Croft, who had been a clerk at Messrs. Child and Co.'s. By an

endorsement on a note dated 1767 the name of " Willm. Noble" appears as witnessing the signature

of the firm, and he subsequently became a partner.

In 1770 the firm appears from the Directory to have been Croft, Hart, and Backwell, the last gentle-

man probably being a descendant of William Backwell. In 1778 the firm was styled Croft, Backwell,

Roberts, and Croft; and in the following year Crofts, Devaynes, Roberts, and Dawes. In 1782 it was

Crofts, Devaynes, Dawes, and Noble. The style of the firm changed several times subsequently ;and

on July 31, 1810, Messrs. Devaynes, Dawes, Noble, and Co. stopped payment during the great panic

caused by overtrading in produce and by excess of exports.

Diggle, John,Goldsmith, at the Red Hat or Cardinal's Cap (both being used as synonymous terms), near

Charing Cross, Strand, 1696-170^

Dimsdale and Co.

The first mention I can find of this old business is in one of Messrs. Child and Co.'s drafts for the

year 1762, on which is endorsed: "Witness for Messrs. Amyand, Staples, and Mercer, Geo. Fawell."

The Royal Annual Kalendar for 1765 states that Amyard (sic), Sir George Staples, and Mercer were

bankers, near Gracechurch Street, the sign of their house being the Golden Helmet and the

Golden Bear.

In 1770, when houses were first numbered, they appear in the Directory as at 50, Cornhill. In

the same year Messrs. Dimsdale, Archer, and Hyde were at No. 2, White Hart Court, GracechurchStreet. This firm must have been established about the same time as Amyands', for on the back of

one of Messrs. Child and Co.'s notes of 1769 is the following endorsement :" Witness J. Woodville,

for Messrs. Dimsdale, Archer, and Hyde."Sir George Amyand, Bart., married in 1771 Catherine, only daughter and heiress of Velters Corne-

wall, Esq., of Moccas Court, Herefordshire, whereupon he assumed his wife's name and became Sir

George CornewalL He was M.P. for Hereford and a well-known politician.*

* We derive from Lloyd's Evening Post of April 12, 1773, the following account of a forgery committed on this firm :" On Saturday morning a young sharper, well dressed, went to Mr. Barrow's, Ironmonger, in the Strand, andpurchased a quantity of goods, to the amount, of 20, which he desired might be sent in the afternoon to the BedfordArms, Covent Garden, and they should be paid for on the delivery, declaring that he was son to an Earl ; he then wentto Mr. Lawson's, Hatter and Sword-Cutler, in the same street, bought a gold laced hat and a silver hilled sword, and

In the year 1774 Sir George Cornewall, Staples, and Watts were at 50, Cornhill, and Messrs.

Dimsdale, Archer, Hyde, Dimsdale, and Co. in White Hart Court

In 1776 Baron Dimsdale retired from the firm of Dimsdale, Archer, and Co., of White Hart Court,

and Sir George Comewall retired from the firm of Cornewall, Staples, and Watts, of 50, Cornhill.

Baron Dimsdale in that year appears to have amalgamated with Staples and Watts, under the style

of Staples, Baron Dimsdale, John Dimsdale, and Josiah Barnard. In 1779 Messrs. Archer, Hyde,

Maude, and Co. disappeared from the list of bankers.

In 1785 it became Baron Dimsdale, Sons, Barnard, and Staples, which style continued with one

or two minor changes until 1814, when it became Barnard, I >i ! ad Dimsdale. The firm was

known as Messrs. Barnard and Co. until 1852, when the old house of Drewett, Fowler, and Co.

amalgamated with them. This banking-house of Messrs. Drewett makes its first appearance in the

London Directory in 1799, under the style of Joseph Smith and Co. In 1818 it was Smith and Holt;

in the following year, William Holt and Co. ;and in 1823 it became Drewett and Fowler. Up to

the year 1836 they were located at 60, Old Broad Street In 1837 the Directory shows that they

removed their business to Princes Street, Bank, at which house they remained until the amalgamationtook place with Messrs. Barnard and Co. in 1852, when the style of the firm became Messrs.

Dimsdale, Drewett, Fowler, and Barnard.

In 1866 the name of Drewett is no longer to be seen in the firm. It then was Dimsdale, Fowler,

and Barnard; and the present style of the firm is Dimsdale, Fowler, Barnard, and Dimsdale, whoflourish at 50, Cornhill, on the original site of the house known by the sign of the Golden Helmet

and the Golden Bear. Mr. R. N. Fowler was Lord Mayor and M.P. for the City in the year 1884,

and in 1885 he was created a baronet The firm consists of the following partners :

Sir Robert Nicholas Fowler, Bart.

Herbert Barnard.

Joseph Cockfield Dimsdale.

John Dimsdale.

Ernest Wyndham Barnard.

Dixon, Brooks, and Co.

The originators of this banking business were Richard Master, Edward Dawson, George Brooks,

John Kirton, and Ralph Clayton, who established themselves at 26, Chancery Lane, about the year

1787. They appear in the London Directory for the first time in 1788.

The first change to record is the substitution of the name of Dixon for that of Clayton, as junior

partner, in 1791. In 1802 it became Dawson, Brooks, Son, and Dixon. In 1814 the name of

Dawson is no longer seen, the style of the firm becoming Brooks, Son, and Dixon, and in 1819Brooks and Dixon. In 1825 George Brooks's name does not appear; but the names of three new

partners occur, the firm thus being Dixon, Langdale, Dixon, and Brooks. In 1831 it was Dixon,

Son, and Brooks ; and in 1836 Dixon, Brooks, and Dixon, which continued to be the style until 1859,when the business, together with some of the clerks, was transferred to the Union Bank of London,who opened a branch bank at 13, Fleet Street, to carry on the old business, which by good manage-ment increased considerably. They subsequently built a new bank in Chancery Lane, where theystill conduct the business.

Dodd, James,Goldsmith, 1710, at the Unicorn, in Fenchurch Street

Dimsdale, Archer, and Hyde, Bankers, in White-Hart-Court, Graccchurch Street,and signed the name of Cranbourn : Mr. Lawson sent his servants to the Bankers, when it was found to be forged, onwhich h< was taken up, and carried before Sir John Fielding, who committed him to prison. He said his name wasLaikin, and that his father lived in Hertfordshire."

LONDON BANKERS. [DOE DOV

Doe, Charles,

Goldsmith, 1652-66. In the "Exchequer Bills and Answers, London and Middlesex, Common-

wealth," in the Public Record Office, is the following case, under the date of June 20, 1652, beingthe answer of Charles Doe, goldsmith, to the complaint of William Paynter, Esq.

The plaintiff brought to the defendant a jewel, and received 20 "upon it" Plaintiff was to pay

interest at the rate of 8 per cent, per annum on the said sum. The interest having long gotteninto arrear, defendant broke up the jewel and sold it, but not before having had it valued by two

goldsmiths, according to the custom of the City of London.

This is an instance of pawnbroking, which was very usual with goldsmiths during the seventeenth

century. In 1666 we find that Sir Charles Doe received the thanks of the Wardens and Assistants of

the Goldsmiths' Company for having preserved the company's plate and papers, by taking them to his

iiouse at Edmonton during the Great Fire.

Dorriens and Co.

The firm of Dorrien, Rucker, and Carleton started at 22, Finch Lane, in 1770. In 1776 Carleton's

name disappeared, and two new partners came into the firm; thus, in that year, it was Dorrien, Rucker,

Dorrien, and Martin.

In 1779 it became Dorrien, Mello, and Martin. Subsequently a Mr. Magens entered the firm;

and, with a few minor alterations, the style of it continued to be Dorriens, Magens, Mello, and Co.,

until 1842, when they amalgamated with Curries and Co., of Cornhill.

Mr. Thomas Hiram Fraser, for some years one of the partners at Messrs. Child and Co., TempleBar, was once a junior clerk in this house. I have likewise heard it asserted that Baron Bramwell

was at one time a junior clerk in the bank of Messrs. Dorriens.

In the year 1798, in consequence of the extreme scarcity of silver money, Messrs. Dorrien and

Magens sent a quantity of bullion to the Mint to be coined according to law, which had never been

repealed, by which it was enacted that any one sending bullion to the Mint might have it coined into

money upon payment of certain dues. The whole was actually coined into shillings from dies vary-

ing only from those of 1787 in the date 17985 but the very day on which the bankers were, byappointment, to have received the coin, an Order of Council was received, commanding it all to be

melted, upon the ground that the proceeding had been irregular, and that no coinage was lawful with-

out the sanction of a royal proclamation (Hawkins on "Silver Coins," p. 246).

Dorsett and Co.

This business, which was of but short duration, was established at 68, New Bond Street, in 1785,

by Sir Herbert Mackworth, Bart, Dorsett, Johnson, and Wilkinson. The firm sprang out of the

bank of Messrs. Pybus and Co., in which house Dorsett had until that year been a partner. In 1792the name of Sir Herbert Mackworth is not seen, and the style of the firm became Dorsett, Johnson,Wilkinson, and Berners. In 1796 a junior partner of the name of Tilson was admitted; but nothingcan be ascertained about them after 1797, in which year they ceased to exist. They probably stoppedpayment during the money panic, which arose from the drain of gold sent abroad for subsidies andloans to our allies.

The price of consols (be it noted) on April 6, 1797, was 47! per cent.

Drewett and Fowler.

This business originated with Joseph Smith and Co., of 60, Old Broad Street, who started about

1799. In 1801 the firm became Smith and Holt, which continued to be the style until 1818. In

the following year William Holt was the sole survivor. In 1823 the firm was William Holt and Co.;

in 1824 the style became Drewett and Fowler; and in 1836 they removed to Princes Street, Bank.

The same firm continued until 1852, when they amalgamated with Messrs. Barnard and Co. under

the style of Dimsdale, Drewett, Fowler, and Barnard.

Drummonds and Co., of Charing Cross.

The business of this bank was established about 1712 by Mr. Andrew Drummond, a goldsmith,

who was son of Sir John Drummond of Machany.In March, 1722, Mr. Andrew Drummond advertised that he would give a reward of five guineas

for one of his bank notes lost, and would ask no questions. It was particularized as being for the

sum of jCioo, dated February 9, 1721, and payable to Henry Collett or bearer.

As far as I can ascertain through the lists and the agency of old drafts, Andrew Drummond had

the business in his own hands until about 1741. I have a signature of John Drummond, signing for

Mr. Andrew Druramond in 1741. When the next list is referred to, that for 1754, it will be seen

that the firm was Andrew Drummond and Co.

In 1770 the style of the firm had become John Drumraond and Co. ; and in 1775 it was Robert

Drummond and Co., which continued to be the designation until 1804, when Andrew Drummondbecame head partner. In 1835 Henry Drummond became head partner, and occupied that position

until 1847 ;in which year Andrew Mortimer Drummond became head of the firm. Since 1804 it

has been known by the style of Drummond and Co.

Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat, the rebel, banked with this firm. He was tried for high treason at

Westminster Hall, and beheaded on Tower Hill, Apnl 9, 1747, on a new block procured for the

occasion, which the curious may see in Queen Elizabeth's Armoury in the Tower. He was the last

person beheaded in this country.

When George III. became displeased with his banker, Mr. Coutts, he withdrew his balance, and

transferred it to Messrs. Drummond. George, Prince of Wales, likewise kept an account with them

for some years ;but whether he was too extravagant at that time does not transpire. Suffice it to say

that the King desired Mr. Drummond not to make any further advances to his son. This order

placed Mr. Urummond in an awkward predicament If he disobeyed his Majesty, he would lose the

accounts and gain the favours of the Prince ; on the other hand, he would offend the Prince and lose

the royal accounts at the decease of the King. Like a loyal subject, however, he obeyed the com-

mand of his Majesty, and, when the Prince of Wales applied for further advances, Mr. Drummondwas reluctantly obliged to refuse him. ; upon which the Prince went to Mr. Coutts, who let him have

what he required, and the royal family have banked there ever since.

The Drummonds trace their descent from the noble Scotch family of Strathellan, who lost their

title and estates in" the "45," and who were one of the earliest instances of the nobility entering into

the commercial world.

A good story is current to the effect that, on its original starting at Charing Cross, the offices of

the firm were so small that a sailor who had an order upon them for 20 prize money generously

offered to take ^5 on account, and to call for the residue in a month or two; Jack being most

solicitous not to overstrain their resources.

The firm now consists of the following partners :

Edgar Atheling Drummond.

George James Drummond.Allan Harvey Drummond.Charles Drummond.

Ducie, Robert,Was a goldsmith and banker in the reign of Charles I. He was Sheriff of London in 1620, was

;8o,ooo by the King; but, having accumulated great wealth, he died, about 1634, worth over

thirteenth of Edward I., Laurence Ducket took shelter in Old Bow church, after having wounded

one Ralph Crepin in Westcheape. During the night there entered in certain evil persons, friends

of the said Ralph, and they slew Laurence and hanged him, placing him as though he had hanged

himself, and so it was found by inquisition ; by which fact he was drawn by the feet, and buried in

a ditch outside the City, but afterwards a boy, who lay with Laurence when he was killed, disclosed

the truth, and four men were attainted, a woman named Alice was burnt, sixteen men were drawn

and hanged, and a few richer persons, after imprisonment, were hanged by the purse. The church

itself was interdicted, and the doors and windows were stopped up with thorns, but Laurence was

taken up, and honestly buried in the churchyard.

for about last four years past proprietors of the Rectory of St. Dunstan's-in-the-West in which parish

are divers ancient houses from which a sum of money in lieu of tithe is payable. This tithe is

withheld. The Defendants plead they are not in the Parish."

A similar bill is presented in Easter, 1661, so that East and Pinckney were both alive then

(" Exchequer Bilk and Answers, London and Middlesex, Commonwealth, No. 257." Public Record

Office).

Edward East was possibly the predecessor of John East, of the Sun, without Temple Bar. Henry

Pinckney was at the Three Squirrels in Fleet Street.

East, John,Was a goldsmith at the Sun, without Temple Bar, in the Strand. He was established certainly

earlier than 1663, in which year his name appears in Blanchard's ledgers; and on December 14,

1674, the following quaint advertisement appeared in the London Gazette " Run away a Scotch boy

aged 16 to 18 with some diamonds etc. from Lyndsey House, Westminster, whoever shall secure

the said boy and give notice to John East, goldsmith, at the Sun without Temple Bar shall have ^5for their pains." This advertisement supplements the "

Little London Directory "of 1677, as that only' Mr. East, at the in the Strand." By the London Gazette of 1687 we learn that William

East was a goldsmith at this sign.

This banking-house was established in 1781 at 26, Birchin Lane, by Sir James Esdaile (who was

Alderman for Cripplegate Ward and Lord Mayor in 1777), under the style of Esdaile, Hammet,and Esdaile In 1782 they moved to 73, Lombard Street

In 1792 the firm amalgamated with Messrs. Smith, Wright, and Co., of 21, Lombard Street, which

firm was originated about 1759 at the Three Kings, afterwards No. 55, Lombard Street, by Messrs

Bland, Gray, and Stephenson. In 1763 their style was Smith, Wright, and Gray, which it continued

to be until 1792, when the amalgamation took place with Esdailes. The style of the new firm was

Sir James Esdaile, Esdaile, Smith, Wright, Haramet, and Co., and they carried on their business at

21, Lombard Street.

In 1799 the Directory shows us that the new interest had left the firm, and that the style was S:

James Esdaile, Esdaile, Hammett, Esdaile, and Hammet ;and this continued to be the style of the

firm, with a few changes among the junior partners, who were apparently sons of the senior partners,

until the year 1833, when the firm became Sir James Esdaile, Esdaile, Grenfell, Thomas, and Co.

This firm stopped payment in 1837 ; but they paid all their creditors by a loan of .5 that

was advanced them by all the principal bankers in the City of London, which loan has since been

repaid, the last payment having been made on February 3, 1873.

The panic of 1837 was called the American panic, from the circumstance that it originated with

mercantile houses connected with the United States. The amount of gold in the Bank of England, it

may be noted, was at such a low ebb that that establishment had to maintain its credit by a loan of

,2,000,000 from the Bank of France.

Everett and Co.

This house originated in the firm of Newnham, Everett, Drummond, Tibbitts, and Tanner, who

started in 1785 at 65, Lombard Street, where they continued to carry on business until 1791, when

they removed to 9, Mansion House Street What appears to be a singular circumstance is that in

this year Mr. Tanner, who had been the junior partner in Newnhams, left them to become junior

partner in another new firm that started in 1791 under the style of Harcourt, Blake, Sansom, Postle-

thwaite, and Tanner, who began operations in the very premises, No. 65, Lombard Street, which had

been occupied by Newnhams.

In 1801 the number of their house was 2, Mansion House Street ;in the following year the name

of Drummond is not seen, and another Mr. Everett became junior partner. In 1810 another changeoccurred by Mr. Tibbitts' name disappearing from the list, and they were again located at 9, MansionHouse Street I cannot help thinking that the change to 2 is an error in the Directory, as they

probably never left No. 9 at all.

In 1812 the style of the firm became Everett, Walker, Maltby, Ellis, and Co., which continueduntil 1825, on December 14 of which year they failed.

Ewer, John, 1730-54.He was a banker in Pall Mall, but we have been unable to trace the "sign of his house, or what

the Three Crowns, in the Strand.

The London Gazette of 1735 announced that John Ewer, goldsmith and banker, late of Pall Mall,

Fowles, Thomas, or Fowle,Was a goldsmith in the time of Charles II., having a shop at the Black Lion, in Fleet Street,

between the two Temple gates.

As early as 1666 his name appears in the 'ledgers of Edward Backwell and of Blanchard and

Child Judging from the size of his account in the books of the former, he must have been doing a

large trade as a banker. He is recorded in the"Little London Directory

"of 1677 as keeping running-

cashes. In 1686 he served the office of Sheriff.

In 1682 Thomas Wotton signed for his master, Mr. Thomas Fowle, and in 1691 Robert Fowle

signed for his master, Sir Thomas Fowle.

In 1691 Sir Thomas Fowles left an annuity, or fee-farm rent, of jfjo to the Goldsmiths' Company,from the Bishop of Bath and Wells, to pay 40*. yearly, on St. Thomas' Day, to five poor widows of

the company during their lives.

The following is an amusing advertisement of the days of James II., when highwaymen were uponevery road :

" Whereas Mr. Herbert Jones, Attorney at Law, in the town of Monmouth, well known by beingseveral years together Under-Sheriff of the same county, hath of late divers times robbed the mail

coming from that town to London, and taken out letters and writs, and is now fled from justice, and

supposed to have sheltered himself in some of the new raised troops. These are to give notice, that

whosoever shall secure the said Herbert Jones, so as to be committed in order to answer these said

crimes, may give notice thereof to Sir Thomas Fowles, goldsmith, Temple Bar, London, or to Mr.

Michael Bohune, mercer, Monmouth, and shall have a guineas reward."

In the London Gazttte of 1694 to 1703 there are several advertisements for articles lost, for which

a reward is to be paid by Robert Fowle and Thomas Wotton, goldsmiths, at the Black Lyon, in Fleet

Street. In April, 1694, he was authorized by the Treasury, as one of the goldsmiths, to receive con-

tributions for raising ji,000,000 upon the new duty arising from salt and upon the new rates of

excise.

It would appear from the following notice in the London Gaztffe of June 15, 1704, that Fowle and

Wolton, and Fowle and Mead, were closely connected. Probably the latter carried on the business." Lost or mislaid, two Notes under the hand of Nich. Wentworth, for his masters Robert Fowle

valued at 5*. ;an immense contrast, it may be noted, to the prices they fetch now.

Frowick, Thomas de, or Frowyke,A goldsmith, 1270. He was Warden of the Goldsmiths' Company, and Alderman of Cheap Ward

in 1279. He is recorded by Herbert, in his"History of the Goldsmiths' Company," to have made

a golden crown for Edward's second queen, Margaret He lived at Old Fold, in the parish of

South Mimms. There is much to be learned concerning this old family, who furnished London

with several wealthy goldsmiths, in "South Mimms," by the Rev. F. C. Cass (London, 1877).

Frowyke, Roger de,

Goldsmith, was Alderman of Langbourne Ward in 1312. In his will it is stated that his principal

house was in the parish of St. Olave, near the Tower. He was Comptroller of the Mint at Canter-

bury, 5-15 Edward II., and Warden of the Exchequer at Canterbury and Bristol, 28 Edward I. ;at

London and Canterbury, 6 Edward II., A.D. 1312. He appears to have had property in London and

in Hertfordshire. (For further particulars, see " South Mimms," by Rev. F. C. Cass.) The will of

Roger de Frowyke was proved in 1328.

Frys and Chapman(Quaker bankers), of St. Mildred's Court, Poultry, started in 1806 as Fry and Sons. In 1815

the style became Frys and Chapman, and it so continued until November 24, 1828, when they

stopped payment, at which time a member of the society took his account to Jones Loyd." We

think you right, friend," said the senior partner; "it is wiser to place thy money with a rich sinner

than a poor saint."

Fulfer, Banbury, and Co.,

77, Lombard Street. The business of this firm originated in that of Atkins, Honeywood, and

Fuller, who first appear in the list of bankers in the London Directory for 1738, as carrying on trade

at the Ram, now 57, Lombard Street. I have found their name on cash-notes of 1737. The style

of the firm became Honeywood and Fuller in 1746, in which year the name of J. Halford is seen

witnessing signatures for his masters, Honeywood and Fuller;and this continued to be the style

until 1754, when I find that J. Vaughan endorsed drafts for Honeywood, Fuller, and Co. About

this time they moved to Birchin Lane. It appears to have been a common practice for bankers in

the last century to admit their clerks into partnership. It certainly was adopted by this firm, as both

J. Halford and J. Vaughan subsequently became partners, as will be presently shown.

Between 1761 and 1764 the name of Honeywood disappeared from connexion with this house,

and the style of the firm became Fuller and Cope. In 1770 it became Fuller, Baker, and Halford.

About 1774 they moved to 84, Cornhill. The firm then was Fuller, Halford, and Vaughan ; and in

1778 Fuller, Son, Halford, and Vaughan. The next change occurred in 1781, when the firm was

styled Richard Fuller, Sons, and Vaughan. Richard Fuller was member of Parliament for Steyningin 1768. Between 1781 and 1805 another change took place, as in the latter year the name of

Richard Fuller, sen., is not seen, nor that of J. Vaughan, the style of the firm becoming Richard

Fuller, George Fuller, and Co. Subsequently, about 1827, it became Fullers and Co. In 1840 theymoved from Comhill to 65, and, a few years later, to 66, Moorgate Street The members of the firm

in 1847 were Richard Fuller, George Arthur Fuller, and William Walter Fuller; the same style

continuing until 1859, when they amalgamated with Sapte, Muspratt, Banbury, and Co., of 77, Lom-bard Street, when the firm became Fuller, Banbury, Nix, and Mathieson. They still occupy the

premises, 77, Lombard Street, which were formerly known by the sign of the Vine.

For the various changes in the firm of Sapte and Co., see under that head.

The firm now consists of the following partners :

George Arthur Fuller.

William Banbury.

John Hennings Nix.

Edward Winkelmann Nix.

Edward Banbury.A story is told of an old Mr. Fuller, of Cornhill, who belonged to that very old-fashioned, prim

class of bankers, well known in the last century, who were hardly ever absent from their desk in the

shop, and who always slept over the bank. He was a careful, economical man, who always had his

washing done at home. One day every week, at noon, a pint of beer was brought in and placed at

the foot of the stairs for the washerwoman, washing-day being always known in the City by this

circumstance. Once, however, this pint became a pot News of the unheard-of innovation quickly

spread, and caused quite a sensation in Lombard Street and Cornhill. Indeed, an old customer

called upon him to remonstrate upon his extravagance, telling him that, although he had had great

satisfaction in keeping his accounts with him till then, he now hardly considered him fit to take

charge of other people's money, since he did not know how to take care of his own.

plaint was exhibited against this goldsmith, with others, in the Star Chamber, for transporting goldand silver out of the kingdom into foreign parts, for culling out the weightiest coins, for meltingdown his Majesty's money into bullion, and for giving value above the prices of his Majesty's Mintfor gold and silver. It came out that he did buy light gold, which he furnished to Violet, another

goldsmith. He was found guilty, sentenced to be committed to the Fleet, and fined ^500. Futter's

They subsequently removed to the Fox, in Lombard Street ;after which we lose all trace of them.

" In 1559, on

own daughter." The punishment for this disgusting offence was to be driven round the parish in a

cart, with a paper setting forth the full particulars of the crime pinned to the dress.

house in the City of London, appears to have commenced at 14, Lombard Street (so far as can be

told by the London Directory), between the years 1740 and 1754, the precise date being difficult to

ascertain in consequence of no list of bankers being forthcoming for the interval between those two

dates. The style of the firm in 1754 was Vere, Glyn, and Hallifax.

There is little doubt but that the firms of Vere, Glyn, and Co., and Vere, Asgill, and Co. had a

common origin and were started by Mr. Joseph Vere,* and that between 1752 and 1754 a dissolution

took place in the partnership, as we find upon a cash-note of Messrs. Samuel Child and Co., of

September, 1752, the following endorsement: "J. Meredith," witness T. Huck for Messrs. Vere,

Asgill, and Co. ;and upon a similar note of Child and Backwells, in February, 1754 :

" Robt. Carr,"

witness T. Huck for Messrs. Vere, Glyn, and Co. The latter firm moved to Birchin Lane, whereas

Asgill and Co. remained in Lombard Street. In 1754 Henry Mitton witnessed signatures for the

firm, and he was subsequently admitted into the partnership.

In 1770 their house in Birchin Lane was numbered 18; and the firm consisted of Sir Richard Glyn,

knight and baronet, M.P. for the City of London, Alderman of Dowgate Ward, and a colonel of the

City Militia (he was Sheriff in 1752, and Lord Mayor in 1758); and Thomas Hallifax, who was

Alderman of Aldersgate Ward. Sir Thomas Hallifax, it may be noted, was a native of Barnsley, and

was apprenticed to a grocer in that town, but came to London and became a partner in this firm.

He was Lord Mayor in 1776-7, and died in 1789. In 1773 Sir Richard Glyn died, and Sir Thomas

Hallifax assumed three partners ; the firm in that year consisting of Sir Thomas Hallifax, Mills,

R. C. Glyn, and Mitton. The next change to be noted was in 1777, when Mr. Charles Mills came

into the firm as fourth partner. In 1783 or 1784 Mr. Mills senior's name disappeared from the firm,

which became Sir Thomas Hallifax, Richard Carr Glyn, Charles Mills, and Henry Mitton. In 1789

the name of Sir Thomas Hallifax is not seen, and the business was conducted at 12, Birchin Lane, byR. C. Glyn, Mills, and Mitton. About 1790, according to the Directory, Richard Carr Glyn was

knighted, when he served the office of Sheriff; he was Lord Mayor in 1798. In 1797 the firm was

Glyn, Mills, Hallifax, and Co., and it continued until 1811, when the style of the firm became Glyn,

Mills, Hallifax, Glyn, and Co. ;so continuing until 1823, when another Mr. Mills came into it. In

1826 they moved to their present premises, No. 67, Lombard Street, which house belonged to the

Goldsmiths' Company, having been left to them by Sir Martin Bowes, the eminent goldsmith in the

reign of Queen Elizabeth, in whose time it was known by the sign of the White Lion, and after

the Great Fire of 1666, as the Blue Anchor. Messrs. Glyn, Mills, and Co. have recently purchasedthe house at an enormous figure.

_The style of the firm was again altered in 1830 to Sir R. C. Glyn, Hallifax, Mills, and Co., con-

sisting of Thomas Hallifax, Charles Mills, Sir Richard C. Glyn, Bart, George Carr Glyn, Thomas

Hallifax, jun., and Edward Wheler Mills. In 1851 it became Glyn, Mills, and Co., which it con-

tinued to be until 1864, when they amalgamated with the old firm of Curries and Co., of Cornhill,

since which time the style of the firm has been Glyn, Mills, Currie, and Co.

In 1869 Sir George Carr Glyn was created a peer under the title of Baron Wolverton. The

present Lord Wolverton succeeded to the title in 1888.

This firm was converted, in January, 1885, into a joint-stock company, with unlimited liability.

They have a paid-up capital of ^1,000,000, and a reserve fund of ^500,000, and publish a balance

sheet half-yearly.

The bank premises are very extensive, occupying the whole frontage from Birchin Lane to the

passage leading to Change Alley. The names of the signs of the different houses, the sites of whichare included in their house, are (commencing with Birchin Lane) the Black Bull, the house at the

corner of Birchin Lane, formerly occupied by Overend and Co. ; the Cat and Fiddle ; the Black

Lion; the Spread Eagle; and the Blue Anchor, which is the sign of No. 67, and therefore the signof the house. The Salutation Tavern also formed a portion of the site, having been in the rear of theBlack Lion.

Gold, Thomas,Goldsmith, 1693, in Lombard Street.

Goldsmiths.Mr. I..i\w,n says, in his

"History of Banking," that the private bankers of whom we have the

earliest cognizance were in a very different position from that occupied by their representatives of

the present day. The first were Jews, aliens in blood and_ religion ; contemned, hated, feared, and

despised ; who were made victims of more barbarous cruelties and oppressions than any other people

They were originally introduced into England by William the Conqueror. They invented

bills of exchange, and their industry and frugality caused them to accumulate vast sums of treasure,

which they lent out at high interest to the nobility and others upon the security of their estates.

The Jews continued to be robbed and ill-treated under a succession of sovereigns until their

oppression culminated in the reign of Edward I., who robbed 15,000 Jews of their wealth, and

banished them all.

The Lombards, or Longobards, came from Italy and succeeded the Jews. They combined the

several occupations of goldsmith, pawnbroker, and banker. Stow, describing the streets in the vicinity

of the present buildings of the Bank and Royal Exchange, says :" Then have ye Lombard Street,

lied of the Longobards and other merchants, strangers of divers nations, assembling there twice

every day, of what original or continuance I have not read of record, more than that Edward Ilr, in

the twelfth year of his reign, confirmed a messuage sometime belonging to Robert Turke, abutting on

Lombard Street toward the south, and toward Cornhill on the north, for the merchants of Florence :

which proveth that street to have had the name of Lombard Street before the reign of Edward II."

In the days of Elizabeth the majority of the goldsmiths lived in Chepe ; after the Great Fire of

Ix>ndon they removed to Lombard Street

The Court Book of the Goldsmiths' Company for January i, 1566, in giving the list of the gold-

smiths for that year, with their places of abode, shows that out of one hundred and seven, no fewer

than seventy-sr in Chepe, the remaining thirty one in" Lumberde Streete." On July i, 1569,

there were only eighty-nine goldsmiths, of whkh number sixty-eight lived in Chepe, against twenty-onewho were in

" Ltimlierde Streete."

In 1677 there were thirty-seven goldsmiths keeping running-cashes, resident in Lombard Street,

there are only twenty-five banks in that street, nine of which are private firms, and sixteen joint-

stock banks.

63 LONDON BANKERS. [GOL

Goldsmiths continued.

Mr. H. D. Macleod, in his"Theory and Practice of Banking," gives the following definition of

the word " bank :

"

"It is popularly supposed that the word bank comes from the Italian banco, a bench, or table,

because the money-dealers, or money-changers, kept their money piled on benches or tables, whence

they were called banchieri. It is also said that when they failed their bench was broken up (panto

rotto) ; hence our bankrupt."Nevertheless, there can be no possible doubt but that this derivation is a pure delusion. In the

first place, the money-dealers, or money-changers, as such, were never called banchieri in the Middle

Ages. They were called Gambia/ores, Speciarii, Campsores, Argentarii, Nummularii, Trapezita ; and

those who lent money were also called Danistce, Collybista, and Mutuatores, but not banchieri ; and

their places of business were called casane and banchi." We shall show what the real meaning of ' bank '

is, not only in Italian, but as it was understood

in English when it was first used, as applied to money dealing." Muratori himself says that the Indian baiica, or banco, is derived from the Gothic or Scandinavian

banck, a heap or mound. The true original meaning of banco is a heap or mound ; and this word

was metaphorically applied to a common fund, or joint stock, formed by the contributions of a

multitude of persons.

"As is explained in a subsequent chapter, the State of Venice, being hard pressed in war in 1171,

levied a forced loan from its citizens, and promised them interest in perpetuity at 4 per cent. ;and

this loan, or public debt, was called a banco, or monte. Certain commissioners were appointed to

manage the loan who were called the Camera degli Imprestiti, or Chamber of Loans;and their office,

where the interest was paid and the stock was transferred, was also called banco or monte. The' Bank '

of Venice was, therefore, nothing but a public debt, managed by Commissioners. Two sub.

sequent loans were made, called Monte Nitovo and Monte Nuovissimo, of the same nature;and it was

not till 1587 that these commissioners were appointed to receive public cash on deposit, and became

what we call a bank. There is no doubt whatever that the words monte and banco are equivalent in

Italian, and were first applied to a public debt, and then afterwards to the office in which it was

managed."Mr. Macleod further adds that the word "bank " means a general contribution received from the

public, in exchange for which credit is created, and that the business of a " banker" is to create credit.

Charles I., with the weak idea of improving the approach to St. Paul's, determined to clear Cheapsideof all but the goldsmiths, those who refused to remove being cast into prison. On November 16,

1634, the following proclamation was issued :

" Whereas in Goldsmith's Row, in Cheapside and in

Lombard Street, divers shops are held by persons of other trades, whereby that uniform show which

was an ornament to those places and a lustre to the City is now greatly diminished, all the shops in

Goldsmiths' Row are to be occupied by none but goldsmiths ;and all goldsmiths who keep shops in

other parts of the City are to resort thither or to Lombard Street or Cheapside." Again, in 1637, the

King issued another equally tyrannical order threatening the Lord Mayor and Aldermen with im-

prisonment if they did not at once enforce his command, that all shops should be shut up in Cheap-side and Lombard Street, save those that were goldsmiths' shops.

It was about the year 1645 that the London goldsmiths first began to act as bankers. Theyreceived moneys and rents from their customers, to whom they gave some interest for the use of the

same. They also lent money on pawns, and issued notes.

When Charles I. was refused a loan by the City of London, he was advised by his ministers to

seize upon the money that had been deposited in the Royal Mint, in the Tower of London, by the

Lombards and goldsmiths, amounting in all to the sum of ,200,000 ;which operation was the cause

of ruin to many. The goldsmiths had up to that time been in the habit of placing their money there

for security ;but henceforth they were forced to keep it in their own shops, and to lend it out to

customers at interest. After this shameful robbery by the King of the goldsmiths' money, it is not

Goldsmiths continued.

surprising that the Goldsmiths' Company should have subscribed cash and men to help Cromwell in

the Civil V.

During the Commonwealth the number of goldsmiths increased considerably ; and they then

received moneys of noblemen and gentlemen who deposited their surplus cash with them for safe

custody. The goldsmiths usually issued receipts or cash-notes for the same, payable on demand;

and these receipts passed from hand to hand and were called goldsmiths' notes. A customer wishingto withdraw any sum would draw a note or draft payable to his own or some one else's order

;and

this was the origin of cheques.Charles II. being distressed for money (with him not an umisnnl circumstance), and unwilling to

apply to the House of Commons, summoned his ministers for the purpose of taking counsel as to

the best way of obtaining the sum of ,1,500,000 without the aid of Parliament; and, by way of stimu-

lating their ingenuity, he promised the office of Ix>rd Treasurer to any one who could suggest the means.

After the Restoration the goldsmiths were in the habit of depositing in the Exchequer their floating

capital, such as they did not require for their business, for the use of which the King gave them high

interest, as much as 10 per cent. ; and by private contracts on many bills, orders, tallies, pawned to

them by the Government, and by debts of the King, they got as much as 20 per cent, and sometimes

even in excess of that rate, to the great dishonour of the GovernmentLord Ashley had unguardedly communicated to Sir Thomas Clifford the expedient of shutting up

the Exchequer and seizing these accumulations. Sir Thomas instantly went before the King, inform-

ing his Majesty that he had hit on a good notion." Odd's fish !

"cried his Majesty,

"I will be as

good as my word, if you can find the money." Sir Thomas then informed the King that the bankers

had ji,500,000 in the Exchequer, which money he could obtain by the simple process of shutting it

up. Accordingly on January 2, 1672, the Exchequer was closed, and all payments to the bankers

were suspended ; this novel mode of relieving the royal necessities causing ruin, not only to most of

the goldsmiths, but likewise to many of their customers. The exact amount of money in the Ex-

chequer at that time was .1,328,526. As a reward for this robbery, Sir Thomas Clifford was madeLord High Treasurer, and raised to the peerage.

The King originally designed to close the Exchequer for only one year ;but year after year passed ,

and neither principal nor interest was returned. Public indignation rose to such a height at this

injustice that on April 16, 1677, just five years after the seizure, the King caused letters patent to be

granted to each of those goldsmiths who had entrusted their money to the Exchequer, covenanting to

pay interest at the rate of 6 per cent per annum. The obligation was observed up to Lady Day,

1683, when it ceased; and by James II. it was utterly ignored. In the reign of William III. a great

stir was made, and the bankers not only lost all their interest, but in the end were paid only half of

their original debt It was the first item with which the National Debt was charged, and it ultimately

became a part of the celebrated South Sea Fund.

These old goldsmiths, besides doing ordinary bankers' and goldsmiths' business, advanced moneyupon pledges, as the pawnbrokers do now. In the early ledgers of Edward Backwell and of Blanchard

and Child, accounts may be seen headed "Pawnes," to which all interest and profit arising from

money lent on pledges, or more marketable security, was placed. In the days of Charles II. they

frequently charged as much aj 20 and 30 per cent, for money, while they never appear to have

allowed more than 6 per cent on deposit.

Ooodere, Edmund, and Thomas Matthews,Were goldsmiths in 1691, next the Fountain Tavern, in the Strand. Edmund Goodere is described

as an esquire.

Goslings and Sharpe.This bank is of considerable antiquity. It originated, in common with many others, in a gold-

smith's business carried on by one James Chambers, the brother of Abraham Chambers of the Golden

Eagle, who is described as of the Three Squirrels, over against St. Dunstan's Church, in Fleet

Street, as early as 1684, though the real date is probably earlier. In 1650 we find there was a well-

known goldsmith of the name of Pinckney at this house; but in 1671 he is described as of the

Golden Dragon, near the Inner Temple Gate ; from which we may infer that Chambers was

located there soon after. Over the centre window of the present house, No. 19, Fleet Street, the

old sign of the Three Squirrels may still be seen in the iron work. The original sign, which is of

copper, is preserved in the front shop.

The following remarkable circumstance has been noted, namely, that one family of the name

of Chambers bears three squirrels in their arms. Might not this family have adopted this coat from

the fact of their being located at the house of that sign ? Many of the difficulties I had to contend

with, and the errors I fell into in the first edition of this work, have been cleared up and rectified byMr. Robinson, of 19, Fleet Street, through his having discovered a quantity of old papers and books

in the bank relating to the early history of the house, which have enabled me to correct errors and

show who the Chambers, Wanleys, and Fowlers were, also to prove that Pinckney's must have been

a separate business, as was also that of William Gostling, and likewise that of Chambers and

Usborne.

In 1695 an advertisement appeared in the London Gazette, in which Mr. Chambers was to paya reward of one guinea for the recovery of some writings left in a hackney coach. In 1706 we find,

by endorsements to bank notes, that George Wanley witnessed his signature. In 1707 the same was

witaessed by George Cradock. According to an advertisement in the Daily Courant, January 26, 1714,

the firm was Chambers and Wanley, as they advertised for some Exchequer bills lost. From 1713to 1720 the style of the firm appeared to be George Wanley and Cradock James Rocke signed for

them. From the books in Messrs. Gosling's possession it. appears that in 1723 the firm was

Abraham Fowler and Rocke; in 1728 James Sympson or Simpson (spelt both ways) was taken into

partnership. [It was announced in the Daily Journal, June 13, 1732, that "on Sunday between

9-10 in the evening, Mr. Simpson, a banker in Fleet Street, going with another gentlemen in

a Hackney coach to Tottenham, were set upon by a single highwayman by the pond on Stamford

Hill, who took from them a gold and silver watch and what money they had."] The style of the

firm was Abr. Fowler and Co. until 1735, when it became Rocke and Co. From 1739 to 1741it was James Simpson and Ward ; in 1742 Ward and Gosling; in *743 Gosling and Bennet; in

1750 and 1752 Gosling and Bennet, described of the Three Golden Squirrels. In 1755 the signatureof the firm was witnessed by Mr. Benjamin Sharpe. In 1764 the firm was Francis Gosling, Robert

Gosling, and G. Clive;in 1781 Gosling, Clive, and Gosling; in 1789 Robert, Francis, and William

Gosling; in 1796 it was Francis Gosling, William Gosling, and Benjamin Sharpe; and the firm has

ever since that date been styled Messrs. Goslings and Sharpe.It would appear that George Waniey was an antiquary, as it is recorded by Peter Cunningham, in

his "Handbook of London," that, in 1707, Wanley and Le Neve met at the Young Devil Tavern,

In my former edition the name of William Gostling was mentioned as probably belonging to this

firm. It is now supposed that he had nothing to do with them; he is therefore described under

a separate heading.I have been favoured by Dr. Brace, of Stepney Manor Office, Old Jewry Chambers, with a short

pedigree of the Chambers family, which will be found in the appendix. It will there be seen that

ihe two brothers, Abraham and James, were both goldsmiths, carrying on their respective trades in

separate houses in Fleet Street

The firm of Messrs. Goslings and Sharpe consists of the following partners :

Francis Gosling.

William Cunliffe Gosling.

Herbert Gosling.

John Charles Sharpe.

Gostling, William,H a goldsmith of Fleet Street As early as 1674 his name has been met with. He must have

been in business many years at this time.

"The name of Gosling," says Mr. Noble in his "Memorials of Temple Bar," "first became

associated with the firm in 1674, for among numerous records of the Secret Service moneys expendedin the time of Charles II. and James II., occurs this entry :

" 'To Richard Bokcnham in full for several parcells of gold and silver lace bought of Wm. Gost-

ling and partners on May 2, 1674, by the Dutchess of Cleaveland for the wedding cloaths of the

Lady Sussex and Litchficld, ^646 8*. 6J.'

" Now this William Gosling was subsequently knighted, and became Alderman of the Ward, 1684

(when he was Sheriff) to 1686. And his descendant, Francis (also knighted), was originally a book-

seller, succeeding' R. Gosling' at the Mitre and Crown, opposite St Dunstan's Church, who

flourished between 1714 and 1740. It was Sir Francis Gosling who was bookseller to Browne Willis,

the author of 'The Survey of the English Cathedrals,' who, having left off bookselling in 1756, was

elected Alderman, became Sheriff in 1758, and died at Fulham, 29th December, 1768, before he had

reached the Mayoralty."I do not think that the William Gostling above-mentioned had anything to do with the present

house of the Three Squirrels, but hold that he was a goldsmith and bookseller, and finally bookseller

only. The name Gosling first appeared at the Three Squirrels in 1742, the style of the banking firm

then being Ward and Gosling.

that on May 30, 1584, he was drawn from Newgate to Tyburn, and there hanged, headed, and

great desire to erect a Bourse, or Exchange, in Lombard Street. In 1537 he submitted to Cromwell,the Lord Privy Seal, his designs for a building, to be after the plan of the Exchange at Antwerp ; but

his plans were not adopted. He was Lord Mayor in 1537, John Gresham being Sheriff; and in that

year he made another attempt in the same direction, referring to the design that he had submitted in

the previous year, specifying certain houses which he proposed the Mayor and Corporation should

acquire under compulsory powers. This great scheme was, however, left for his son to accomplish.Sir Richard Gresham, although a mercer, occasionally did transact the business of a goldsmith, as

the following will show. When Anne of Cleves came to England as the fourth bride of Henry VIII.,in 1539, the following payment is recorded :

" To Sir Richerde Gressham for a cheyne of fyne golde whiche was given to a gent that came from

the Duke of Baryer, jioo 13. 9."

He died in 1556.

Greaham, Sir Thomas,A goldsmith and merchant of great renown in the time of Elizabeth, carried on business at the

sign of the Grasshopper, in Lombard Street, upon the site of the present bank of Messrs. Martin and

Co., 68, Lombard Street, who have always had the same sign, and claim that their business dates back

to the time of Gresham.

Sir Thomas Gresham's father, Sir Richard Gresham, was the King's Exchanger in the reign of

Henry VIII., by whom he was greatly esteemed. Sir Thomas succeeded his father in this office, but

was superseded by Queen Mary on her accession to the throne. He was, however, afterwards

restored.

He is said to have been one of the earliest merchants who traded to the East Indies, by which

ventures he accumulated vast riches. Lawson, in his"History of Banking," states that upon one

occasion, having sent ships out to the East Indies, he had miscalculated the date at which they would

return a circumstance that caused him much embarrassment. He, however, soon recovered from

his temporary inconvenience. One day, while walking despondingly about the Bourse, or Exchange,which was then held in Lombard Street, a sailor presented him with a letter from the captain of one

of his ships, which contained the gratifying information that two of them had arrived safe from the

Indies, and that the box which the bearer would deliver contained some diamonds and pearls of

great value a sample of the riches the ships had brought home.

He had a private house of great magnificence in Bishopsgate Street, which was afterwards knownas Gresham College.

Upon reference to Lysons's" Environs of London," it will be seen that

" between 1557 and 1570Heston and Osterley came into the possession of Sir Thomas Gresham, and the Park was enclosed byhim. After he had enclosed the Park at Osterley, he began to re-build the Manor House, but it was

not completed until 1577. In the park is a fair heronrie."

In 1578 Queen Elizabeth visited Osterley, when Sir Thomas Gresham entertained her Majesty in

a very magnificent manner. There is a tradition that Queen Elizabeth admired the house and park

much, with the single exception of a walled courtyard. When the Queen had retired for the

night, Sir Thomas Gresham procured all the men he could, and set them to work and demolished it

( >n her Majesty's reappearance in the morning, she was much gratified at seeing the improvementiomas had made at her suggestion. Towards the end of the seventeenth century, Osterley Park

Sir Thomas Gresham founded the Royal Exchange, of which the first stone was laid on June 7,

1566 ;the building being opened by Queen Elizabeth in person on January 23, 157?. The following

account of the ceremony is given by Stow :

" The Queen's Majesty, attended with her nobility, came from her house at the Strand, called

north side of the burse, through Threadneedle Street, to Sir Thomas Gresham's house in Bishopsgate

Street, where she dined. After dinner Her Majesty returned through Cornhill, entered the burse on

the south side, and after that she had viewed every part thereof above the ground, especially the pawn,which was richly furnished with all sorts of the finest wares in the City, she caused the same burse, bya herald and trumpet, to be proclaimed

' The Royal Exchange,' and so to be called from thenceforth,

and not otherwise."

This building was destroyed by the Great Fire of 1666.

Sir Thomas Gresham likewise founded Gresham College, which he endowed with six professor-

ships, viz. Divinity, Law, Physic, Philosophy, Astronomy, and Music, with ^50 a year to each, for

the purpose of giving gratuitous lectures on these sciences to the citizens of London for ever. Theyare delivered in Latin and in English to the present day in Basinghall Street.

To Gresham we owe the abolition of loans from foreign states. By his counsel Elizabeth was

induced, when a loan was necessary, "not to use strangers, but her own subjects, that it might be seen

what a prince of power she was." According to Mr. Francis, "her first applications to the citizens

were not met with sufficient alacrity to please the imperious Queen. She who could imprison a

favourite for life, or send a rival to the block, was checked by her plebeian but wealthy subjects. The

pride of Henry VIII. had descended with his Crown to his daughter, and she caused it to be intimated

to the unwilling merchants that to borrow their money was a matter of great grace and favour."

As much as 12 and 14 per cent, was paid for the accommodation of money in this reign.

I extract from Lawson's "History of Banking

"the following singular anecdote related of this

princely merchant :

" The Spanish Ambassador to the English Court having extolled the great riches of the King, his

master, and of the grandees of his kingdom before Queen Elizabeth, Sir Thomas, who was present,

told him that the Queen had subjects who, at one meal, expended not only as much as the daily

revenues of his King, but also of all his grandees, and added,' This I will prove any day, and lay you

a considerable sum on the result.' The Spanish ambassador soon after came unawares to the house

of Sir Thomas, and dined with him; when, finding only an ordinary meal, he said,

'

Well, sir, youhave lost your wager.'

' Not at all,' replied Sir Thomas ;

' and this you shall presently see.' He then

pulled out a box from his pocket, and, taking one of the largest and finest eastern pearls out of it,

exhibited it to the Ambassador ; after which he ground it, and drank the powder of it in a glass of

wine, to the health of the Queen, his mistress. ' My Lord Ambassador,' said Sir Thomas,'

you knowI have often refused .15,000 for that pearl. Have I lost or won ?

'

'I yield the wager as lost,' said

the Ambassador ;

' and I do not think there are four subjects in the world that would do as much for

their sovereign.'"

At his death, which took place on November 21, 1579, the bulk of his wealth was found to

consist of gold chains. He was buried in St. Helen's Church, Bishopsgate. The inscription on the

stone is

"Sir Thomas Gresham, Knight, buried isth December, 1579."

Finally, it has to be recorded that to Sir Thomas Gresham we owe the introduction of the orangeinto England.

Haies,A banker in London in the time of Charles II. Nothing can be ascertained as to the Christian

name or place of residence of this man. In the"History of His Own Time," Bishop Burnet records

his trial for high treason, and I propose to give it in extenso, it being of an interesting nature. It

would appear that he was supposed to have been implicated with some of the conspirators in the

Rye House Plot. It runs thus :" In Armstrong's pocket, when he was taken, a letter was found

. 1'V II lies, a banker in London, directed to another name, which was believed a feigned one.

In it credit was given him upon Haies's correspondent in Holland for money ; he was desired not

to be too lavish, and he was promised that he should be supplied as he needed it Here was an

abetting of a man outlawed for treason. Much pains was taken on Haies, both by persuasion and

threatening, to induce him to discover that whole cabal of men, that, it seemed, joined in a common

purse to supply those who had fled beyond sea on account of the plot. And they hoped to knowall Monmouth's friends, and either to have attainted them, or at least to have fined them severely

for it. But Haies showed a fidelity and courage far beyond what could have been expected from

such a man, so he was brought to trial.

" He made a strong defence. The letter was not exactly like his hand. It was not addressed

to Armstrong, but to another person, from whom he perhaps had it. No entry was made of it in

his books, nor of any sum paid in upon it But his main defence was, that a banker examined into

no person's concerns, and therefore, when money or good security was brought him, he gave hills

of exchange, or letters of credit, as they were desired. Jeffreys pressed the jury, in his impetuousto find Haies guilty of high treason ; because, though there was not a witness against Haies,

but only presumptions appeared upon the proof, yet, Jeffreys said, it was proved by two witnesses

that the letter was found in Armstrong's pocket, and that was sufficient, the rest appearing byirrumstances. The little difference between the writing in the letter and his ordinary hand was

said to be only a feint to hide it, which made him the more guilty. He required the jury to bringhim in guilty, and said that the King's life and safety depended upon his trial

;so that, if they did

it not, they exposed the King to a new Rye-plot, with other extravagancies with which his fury

prompted him. But a jury of merchants could not be wrought up to this pitch. So he was acquitted,

which mortified the Court a little, for they had reckoned that now juries were to be only a point of

form in a trial, and that they were always to find bills as they were directed."

The name of Haies does not appear in the list of goldsmiths who kept running-cashes ; but in

the Directory of a collection of the merchants living in and about the City of London in 1677, the

following names are found :

Claud Hayes, Fanchurch Street.; John Hayes, Little St. Hellens ; James and Joseph Hayes,Gracechurch Street.

continued at 7, St. Martin's Place, under the style of Hallett and Co.

Halliday and Co.

The first mention of this firm is in 1770, when the London Directory shows that Halliday, Flight,

Halliday, and Co. were at 34, Lombard Street On reference to the same source of information, I

find that in 1776 they had moved to 3, Freeman's Court, Cornhill, and the style of the firm hadbecome Halliday, Duntze, Praed, and Co. It is a singular coincidence that in this year, when the

well-known banking name of Praed first appeared in the London Directory, there should be two of

that name in two separate firms; one in Halliday's, and the other in partnership with Biddulph andCo. In 1781 that name disappears from Halliday's, which had become Halliday, Duntze, Saunders,and Hamilton. They became extinct after 1782.

Hamersley, Richard,At the Sun and Marygold, near Somerset House, Strand, 1694. fie was a bankrupt in 1695. It

is most probable that these businesses were the same, with only the sign changed.

Hammersley and Co.

Mr. Thomas Hammersley, originally a clerk in Messrs. Henries' bank, was one of the original

partners in the firm of Ransom, Morland, and Hammersley, who started banking business at 57, Pall

Mall, in 1786.

In 1796 he retired from that firm to establish a bank of his own at 76, Pall Mall. The style of

the firm was Hammersley, Montolieo, Brooksbank, Greenwood, and Drewe. In 1806 it became

Hammcrbley, Greenwood, Drewe, and Brooksbank, and in 1823 they moved to 69, Kill Mall, the

style of the firm becoming Hammersley, Greenwood, and Brooksbank. They stopped payment

September 20, 1840, when their deposits amounted to ,650,000, owing to the death of HughHammersley, the sole partner. This business was absorbed by Messrs. Coutts and Co., who took

on all the clerks, to whom they behaved very generously, pensioning off some of the old ones. Theaffairs were placed in Chancery, and the estate only yielded ten shillings in the pound.

In 1842 the London Joint-Stock Bank opened a branch on these premises.

Hammond, William. (See ATWEI.L.)

Hanbury and Co.

.blished about 1779 by Messrs. Hanbury, Taylor, Lloyd, and Bowman, at 14, Lombard Street.

In 1779 they moved to 60, Lombard Street, the sign of which house was the King's Head and

Phcenix, where Kiborne and Capill were doing business as goldsmiths in 1677. In 1784 the nameof Hanbury disappeared from the firm, and it became Taylor, Lloyd, and Bowman. In 1791 it was

Taylor, Lloyd, Hanbury, and Co. ; in 1801, Taylor, Lloyd, Hanbury, and Bowman. In 1815 another

change took place in the style of the firm, the Directory for 1816 recording it as Hanbury, Taylor,and Lloyd. In 1858 it was Hanbury and Lloyd, which continued to be the style until 1864, when it

was amalgamated with Harriett, Hoare, and Co.

Mr. Samuel Hoare informs me that the Hanburys are one of the oldest Essex families, their

residence at Holfield Grange extending over three hundred years.

The Hanburys, area 1740, were tobacco-brokers in Great Tower Street.

milled, and a reward was offered by Captain Samuel Hankey, goldsmith, at the Ring, under St.

Dionis Backchurch, in Fanchurch Street.

Mr. Thomas Hankey, of Chester Square, the senior surviving member of the firm of Hankey and

Co., informs me that he does not know the actual date of the establishmenl of Ihis banking-house,

but he had frequently seen an old cash-book of daily receipts and paymenls dated (he believed) 1693.

That they were originally goldsmiths there is no doubt ; and they probably were also pawnbrokers,

as most goldsmiths of that period embraced that profitable business in their trade. On reference to

the "Royal Annual Kalendar" of 1765, it will be seen that Sir Joseph and Sir Thomas Hankey were

at the sign of the Three Golden Balls, in Fenchurch Steeet, a sign very suggestive of their origin

and descent from the early Longobards.The sign of the house was commonly known as the Golden Ball in Fenchurch Streel, and Mr

Thomas Hankey stales lhal he has always been led to believe that his predecessors were goldsmiths

at a shop nearly opposite No. 7, Fenchurch Street, and that the house was established as a " bank "

about the same time as Child's.

In an advertisement in the London Gazette of January 8, 1701, for some ships' papers lost, we see

that Henry Hankey, goldsmith, was at the Ring and Ball in Fenchurch Street. This may have been

the shop referred to as being opposite No. 7.

The name appears as an endorsement on a draft drawn by Silvanus Bevan on Child's, dated

September 25, 1704 : "Witness Jeffery Viber ffor my masters Henry Hankey and Co. ;" and several

more documents show the same style of the firm up to 1735. On anolher draft, dated 1722, Thomas

Hankey witnesses a signature for his father, Henry Hankey. The London Gazette, March 23, 1723,states that

" a very fine onyx is to be sold, found under the ruins of an ancient structure, supposedto be hundreds of years old. Apply to Mr. Henry Hankey, Goldsmith, Fenchurch Street." About

1732 he was knighted, as in that year the firm was Sir Henry Hankey and Sons. In 1737 it was

Joseph Hankey, Esq., and Co. He also was subsequently knighted, as evidenced by the fact that

from 1739 to 1768 the style of the firm was Sir Joseph Hankey and Co. In Ihe latter year the

partners were Sir Joseph Hankey, Sir Thomas Hankey, Joseph Chaplin Hankey, Thomas Hankey,and Stephen Hall. Sir Joseph Hankey, who was Alderman of Langbourne Ward in 1737, died in

1769. In 1774 Joseph Chaplin Hankey was the head partner; and in 1778 Thomas Hankey filled

that position, which he maintained until 1793, when he died. In 1794 ihe firm consisted of J. C.

Hankey, Stephen Hall, Robert Hankey, Richard Hankey, Augustus Hankey, and Co.

-Jn 1805 it was styled Hankey, Hall, Hankey, and Alers;and from 1812 to 1865 it was known by

the style of Hankeys and Co. No amalgamation with any other firm ever took place until 1865,when the old and time-honoured firm of Hankeys and Co. merged into the Consolidated Bank, whichhad started only the year before.

The British Chronicle for June 16, 1775, gives the following curious account of a forgery :

"The forgery committed by draft on Hankey and Co. for ^73. 10. was done by a. lad who latelylived with a Gentleman in Rood Lane, and soon after he was turned away, he made free to imitate his

Master's hand writing for the above sum, which was paid on Monday, the 5th inst. On the day followinghe set off, with a companion, in a post chaise and four, for Tilbury, there he discharged the chaise,and sent 4 guineas back to his mother, by the Postillion

; he afterwards crossed to Gravesend, wentto Rochester, and there got on board a Dutch turbot hoy, bound to Holland. Sir John Fielding'smen gave this relation of his rout, having pursued him all the way, and if the forgery had beendiscovered sooner, he certainly must have been taken."

year it became extinct. This house was upon the site of the Cock, which in 1734 was at the east end

of the Stocks Market, and was then in the occupation of Thomas Stevenson, a fishmonger. WhenMessrs. Smith, Payne, and Smiths made some alterations in 1874, they discovered in the foundations

a cast-iron slab, dated 1652, representing a cock fighting a snake, which was probably the sign of

Barley's house. The house of Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith's establishment now occupies the

Herkins, Margery,Was a goldsmith in Lombard Street, circa 1550. It is"comparatively rare to meet with the name

Berries, Farquhar, and Co.

This banking-house was established on October i, 1770, by Mr. Robert Herries, of Hall Dikes,

Dumfriesshire, who had been one of the actire partners in the firm of Coutts and Co., in the Strand.

He was a man of enterprise and ability. He received his business education in Holland, in accordance

with the custom of that period, and was for a short time a merchant in Barcelona.

He subsequently originated the novel idea of issuing" circular notes," by which people wishing

to travel abroad, and not caring to take much cash with them, could deposit a sum of money with

Mr. Herries, and in exchange procure bills on London for amounts not less than jio each. These

bills, or circular notes, were changeable at most towns on the Continent, where Mr. Herries had

correspondents ;a list of them being given to the customer applying.

It appears strange in these days that such a valuable invention as this should have been looked

upon with distrust, but so it was. It is asserted that, when Mr. Herries first conceived the idea, he

ventilated it to his then partner, Mr. Thomas Coutts, who entirely disapproved of it. In fact, it was

the cause of his dissolving partnership with him, and setting up in St James's Street

Sir Walter Farquhar, the present head of the house, has kindly furnished me with the names of the

original partners in the firm of Robert Herries and Co. :

Robert Herries, Esq., of Hall Dikes, Dumfriesshire.

Sir William Maxwell, of Sprinkell, Hart.

Sir William Forbes, of Pitsligo, Bart.

James Hunter Blair, F.sq., of Blairguhard, Ayrshire ;and

Sir William Pulteney.

The " circular note"system having been proved to answer so well, and to be such a profitable

adjunct to the business of the bank, it subsequently induced Messrs. Coutts and Co., who had at the

outset looked upon it with distrust, to take a prominent part in that branch of banking business.

Of late years several private bankers, and some of the joint-stock banks, have adopted the same

principle.

Mr. Robert Henries was knighted in February, 1774, as in that year the style of the firm appears

as Sir Robert Herries and Co. ; and it so continued until 1799, when the list of bankers in the

London Directory indicates a change, the style of the firm becoming Messrs. Herries, Farquhar,

and Co.

In March, 1865, they formed an amalgamation with the firm of Call, Marten, and Co., of Old

Bond Street, who had been established, in about 1774, by Messrs. Pybus and Co. (For particulars

of this see "CALL.")The present firm consists of the following partners :

Sir Walter Rockcliff Farquhar, Bart.

Alfred Farquhar.Walter Randolph Farquhar.

they had moved their business to 4, Lombard Street In 1851 the firm changed to Heywood,Kennard, and Co.; which was its style until 1864, when this business was merged into the Con-solidated Bank.

Goldsmith, of Lombard Street, 1604-46. He probably carried on his trade at the Halt and

Harrow. In the book in the Record Office, called " A Book belonging to the Committee for raising

Money for the Use of the Parliament," we find that Hill," the Gouldsmithe in Lumberstreete," was

assessed at 200, circa 1644. He died in 1646, and was buried in St. Mary Woolnoth's church.

Hill and Sons, Charles,17, West Smithfield. This business was started by Mr. Charles Hill, who had been manager

to Messrs. Sharpe and Sons, of West Smithfield, who failed in 1825 ; after which he immediatelystarted as banker, and carried the business on in his sole name for three or four years, when he

was joined by his sons, George Hill and John Hill. Charles Hill died in 1846, and George and

John Hill carried on the business until April, 1867, when John Hill died, and John Hill, junior, was

taken into partnership with his uncle.

The firm of Charles Hill and Sons is now conducted by John Hill, Henry Meakins Hill, Herbert

Hill, and Charles Llewellen John Hill.

Hille, John,Goldsmith in 1430, who bequeathed to the Goldsmiths' Company nineteen messuages in the

parish of St. Vedast, Foster Lane, and left other bequests for the relief of poor goldsmiths.

Hind, Abraham,A goldsmith, at the Golden Ball, in Fenchurch Street, 1690.

Hind, John, and Thomas Kirwood,Were goldsmiths keeping running-cashes, over against the Exchange, in Cornhill. The business

appears to have originated with John Hind, who was flourishing as early as 1663. In 1670 their

names are to be seen in BackwelFs and in Blanchard's ledgers; and in 1672 an advertisement was

inserted in the London Gazette concerning some account books that were lost, and directed to be

brought to Thomas Kirwood. Another advertisement appeared on September 16, 1675, for the

recovery of an Order of the Garter lost, the property of the Earl of Mulgrave, which was to be

brought to Mr. Hinde. In the "Little London Directory" of 1677 we find the names of John Hindand Thomas Carwood, who were evidently the same people ;

another instance of phonetic spelling, so

common at that time.

The London Gazette of December 20, 1685, has the following advertisement : "Whereas Mr. John

him for considerable sums of money ;If any person give notice where he is to Captain Mould at

a previous advertisement, dated March 23, 1685, that this Toplady had robbed him of considerable

sums, as we learn Captain John Hind is to have a meeting of his creditors. He failed in February,

1706.

Hinde, John, 1663. (See HIND AND KIRWOOD.)

Hinton, Benjamin, and Company,Goldsmiths, were at the Flower de Luce, in Lombard Street, as early as 1663. I have met with

the name of Benjamin Hinton in Pepys' Diary of December 18, 1665, when he was "at the Pope's

Head, with Mr. Hinton, the goldsmith and others very merry ; but Lord ! to see how Dr. Hinton

came in with a gallant or two from Court, and do so call' Cozen

'

Mr. Hinton, the goldsmith ;but

I that know him to be a beggar and a knave did make great sport in my mind at it." His name

appears in the ledgers of Alderman Backwell in 1663, as keeping a large account, which was at one

time headed Benjamin Hinton and Company. He is in the list of goldsmiths keeping running-cashes

in 1677 ; and in the London Gazette of May 31, 1683, his creditors are desired to meet to receive his

proposals for the payment of all his debts, both principal and interest. In June, 1693, the creditors

again advertise in the London Gaulle for any" concealed estate

"of the said Hinton's. In 1702 he

was described as deceased and a bankrupt.

Hinton, Thomas,s probably a goldsmith, and a descendant of the above. His name appears upon an old draft

<lated 1717, signed by Thomas Crump for his master, Thomas Hinton.

Hoare, Hill, and Co., 1800-7. (See BARNETT.)

Hoare, Richard,Goldsmith, of Lombard Street, died 1673.

Hoares and Co.,

37, Fleet Street This old firm had its origin in James Hore, a goldsmith, whom the"Little

London Directory" of 1677 describes as keeping running-cashes at the Golden Bottle in Cheapside.Mr. Noble, in his

" Memorials of Temple Bar," states that from a very scarce volume of family

history compiled by the well-known antiquary, Sir Richard Colt Hoare (" Pedigrees and Memoirs,etc., of the Family of Hoare," privately printed at Bath, 1819), it appears that there was a William

. of Rishford, Devon, temp. Richard II., from whom (says our author)"

I am inclined to think

that our family came originally." Ralph, sixth son of William Hore of Rishford, was in 1654 a

"citizen and cooper" of London, at St Botolph's; and in 1677 his son James was keeping "running-cash" as a goldsmith at the Golden Bottle, Cheapside, where he was living in 1687. He died at

Edmonton in 1694. Among the Secret Service moneys of James II. I find this payment :

"1686. To Charles Duncombe and James Hore, Esqrs., two of the late Comrs. for executingthe office of master worker of the Mint, in satisfac'ion of so much money by them expended and paidto several officers in passing warrants, and for fees paid to officers of the Exchequer on receipt

of ^2000, being to each of them ^1000 for their service in that Commn., .103 14*. t>d."

James Hoare, the probable founder of this old house, was Comptroller of the Mint in 1661,

Surveyor of the Meltings and Clerk of the Irons in 1665, and from 1679 to 1682 Warden of the Mint.

This same James Hoare had an account with Alderman E. Backwell, of Lombard Street, in 1664," for

84 LONDON BANKERS. [HOA

Hoares and Co. continued.

gold left to be coyned," and for cash paid in and out;in fact, a sort of clearing account, which, it

appears from Backwell's ledgers, the majority of goldsmiths had with each other. During all this

time James Hoare was at the Golden Bottle in Cheapside. He must have migrated to Fleet Street

after 1690.

In 1694 the Emperor of Germany borrowed money of Sir Richard Hoare for the use of the Prince

Eugene.Mr. Noble says that the present premises occupy the site of several buildings, 34 to 39, including

the famous old Mitre tavern associated with Dr. Johnson's name. So far as the number of houses

included in the present bank of Messrs. Hoares is concerned, I make no demur ; but I do not agree

in considering the old Mitre was one of them. For Cunningham, who is an authority upon London,

states that the Mitre of Johnson and Boswell where Johnson used to drink his bottle of port and

keep late hours, and where Oliver Goldsmith used occasionally to sup is still in existence in Mitre

Court, Fleet Street, over against Fetter Lane.

To return, however. Very little can be ascertained about James Hore, or when he joined Richard

Hoare or Hoar, who was settled as a goldsmith in Fleet Street, at the sign of the Golden Bottle, about

1690. The following entry occurs among the debts of the great Hyde, Lord Clarendon : "To Mr.

Hore, for plate 27 io.f. $d."

The old sign of the Golden Bottle may still be seen from the street, over the doorway, upon enter-

ing the bank. Sir Richard Colt Hoare considers it to have been "a barrel ;a sign adopted by James

Hore of Cheapside from the circumstance of his father, Ralph, being a citizen and cooper of the City

of London." The popular version, says Mr. Noble, was that it represented the leathern bottle carried

by the founder of the firm when he came to London to seek his fortune. The leathern bottle for

carrying" of ale nut brown" is mentioned as used by haymakers in 1682.

The first mention of Richard Hoare, the goldsmith, is upon an old draft of Messrs. Child, drawn

by a Mr. Thynne for one thousand pounds, dated June 8, 1687. It bears the following endorsement :

" Mr. Child, pray pay the contents of this bill to Mr. Richard Hoare. JA. FOSTER."

"June y" 13*, 1687. Recdy" full of this bill one Thousand pounds for Mr

. Richard Hoare,

"p. JOHN ARNOLD."

It is very probable that Richard Hoare was originally of Cheapside, as in 1703 he was elected

Alderman of Bread Street Ward. He was Sheriff in 1709, and Lord Mayor in 1712.

In company with some other London goldsmiths, Mr. 'Richard Hoare was authorized by the

Treasury in 1694 to receive contributions for raising ,1,000,000 on the duty arising from salt and

the new rates of excise.*

Sir Richard Hoare, goldsmith, was classed among the "retainers general" in the list of those whowere to receive presents at Samuel Pepys' funeral in 1703. He was presented with a mourning ring

of the value of 20$., and his foreman, Mr. Arnold (whom I just mentioned as receiving money from

Mr. Child), with a ring valued at 15^.

At foot of the lists of presents of rings and mourning given at Pepys' death and funeral, is the

following memorandum :

" That 2 of the Rings placed in the 155. column were of the 20^. sort, and given to 2 (but which

uncertain) of the 17 persons thus marked, v; so that the true number of each sort distributed, either

at the funeral or since, to this 315! Dec., 1710, has been provided as per Sir R. Hoare's account

thereof."

In writing of this gentleman, Sir Richard Colt Hoare observes :

" We need only refer to the will of his grandfather, Henry Hoare of Walton, in 1 664, for

a confirmation of the good effects of industry, honesty, and religious principle, which were so

constantly displayed throughout the life of this Richard Hoare. His moral character procured for

him the general esteem of his brother citizens, and raised him to the most distinguished civic honours.

He was knighted in 1710, and was elected M.P. for the City of London in the ninth and tenth yearsof Queen Anne's reign. He filled the high position of Lord Mayor in 1713 ; he was also President

of Christ's Hospital, and was appointed one of the committee for superintending the building of fifty

new churches in London."

The following advertisements from the London Gaztttt, in which tne name of Mr. Hoare occurs,

are interesting as showing the use customers made of their goldsmiths and bankers in those days.The first is dated February 5, 1701.

"Ix>st, about Christmas last, a bond of the late Sir Robert Vyner*s dated 20 March 1668 in

penalty of .500 for payment of ,253. 15. on 2ist June following. Whoever brings the same to

Mr. Hoare's shop at the Golden Bottle in Reel Street shall have two guineas reward."

Again, on December 2, 1 706, we read of Thomas Finch, a barber, having forged several notes onSir Richard Hoare, payable to Sir John Spencer, Bart ; and an advertisement was inserted for his

apprehension. On September 1 1, 1708, the following notice was advertised :

" Whereas a person came to Sir Richard Hoare's shop on Friday loth of Sept 1708 about 6. oCk

in the evening to receive jioo for a note of the said Richard Hoare, which note is at presentmislaid. Therefore, if the party who received it will come to the servant who paid him the money,and will give him an account to whom the note was payable, shall receive $ Reward for his trouble,

and any further satisfaction if required."

Two things will strike the modern reader of this last advertisement The one is the fact that

goldsmiths' shops and banks in those days kept open nearly all the evening, as ordinary goldsmiths'

shops do nowadays ;and the second is the cashier, or clerk, being styled, according to the then

invariable custom, a " servant"

The next advertisement I have to notice is from the Daily Courant of 1714, where we read that

a light-coloured periwig was left in a hackney coach, and that whoever would bring it to Sir Richard

Hoare should have ten shillings reward.

Sir Richard Hoare and Sir Francis Child are said to have united to make a run upon the Bank of

England in 1707, when there was so much excitement caused by the rumoured invasion by the

Pretender. It is affirmed that one of them had collected ,100,000, and the other a large sum, and

pushed them at the Bank and demanded payment The Bank did meet the sudden demand, but it

put them to considerable inconvenience.

"When the late hurry of an expected invasion," says a pamphlet entitled The Anatomy of

Exchequer Alley, "sunk the price of stock 14 or 15 per cent, who were the men that made a run

upon the Bank of England, and pushet at them with some particular pique too, if possible to have

run them down, and brought them to a stop of payment ? I hereby refer," proceeds the writer,"

to,

and can recall to memory, two goldsmiths (Knights, also, and one of them a Member of Parliament,

too) in Fleet Street, who pushet at the Bank of England at the time of the Pretender's expected

invasion from France. One of them, it was said, had gathered a quantity of Bank Bills to the value

of near one hundred thousand, and the other a great sum, though not so much, and it was said they

resolved to demand the whole at once. Let the gentleman I point at answer with what difficulty

Sir Richard Hoare wiped off the imputation of being a favourer of the Pretender, and how often in

vain he protested he did it with no such view, and how hard the Whigs were to believe him."

Between 1706 and 1718 the style of this firm was Sir Richard Hoare and Co., and the majority of

drafts of that date (of Messrs. Child) bear the signature of Christopher Arnold, who signed for the

house. In January, 1718, Sir Richard Hoare died, as may be gathered from the following extract

from the Parish Register of St Dunstan's, Fleet Street :

"1718, Jan. 13. Sir Richard Hoar, from Fleet Street, in the Chancell."

By a bequest dated in that year, he left to the Goldsmiths' Company .200, for distribution of

England.A draft, dated November, 1717, drawn to the order of Sir Richard Hoare, bears his own endorse-

ment ; and upon the back of another is written

It was at a meeting at the Saint Dunstan's Coffee-house,* Fleet Street, on January 13, 1715, that

Henry Hoare, Esq., the banker, suggested the foundation of the Westminster Hospital, Charles Hoare

acting as treasurer.

In April, 1718, Mr. Henry Hoare was the head partner.

In 1716 he, in conjunction with Lady Hastings," Beau Nash," and others, founded Bath General

Hospital, to which institution the firm have continued treasurers to this day (see" Memorials of

Temple Bar ").

The firm was known by the style of Henry Hoare and Co. until about 1722, when Henry Hoare

died, and left ^200 to the Goldsmiths' Company to be laid out at interest, and & to be paid yearly

to poor freemen or the widows of such.

After the death of Henry Hoare, the firm became Benjamin Hoare and Co., the other partners

probably being Henry Hoare, Richard Hoare, and Christopher Arnold, as their names all appear to

endorsements of drafts between 1729 and 1746. The firm was frequently styled Hoare and Arnold

during this period. In the Directory of 1736 the name of Christopher Arnold alone appears as

a banker of Fleet Street, which proves the inaccuracy of those lists at that time. In 1738 it was

Benjamin and Henry Hoare, whereas those of 1740 and 1754 have Hoare and Arnold for the style.

Sir Richard Hoare was an Alderman of Farringdon Ward Without. He -succeeded Sir Francis

Child in 1740; became Lord Mayor in 1745, and died in 1754, as proved by the register in

St. "Dunstan's Church.: "1754, Oct. 21, Slr Richard Hoar, in SIr Richard Hoare's vault"

Mr. Noble, in his" Memoirs of Temple Bar," refers to a curious and scarce broadside, published

by the second Sir Richard, in which he, at some length, entirely denies the false and malicious report

which had been circulated that he had attempted a run on the Bank of England by sending for ten

of their notes of ^10 each, with the design to send several persons with the said notes to receive the

money thereon, so as to effect his ill designs, and to bring a disreputation on the bank, and occasion

a disturbance in the City.

In the Guildhall Library is a volume labelled" Choice Scraps, 1642-1770;" from which I subjoin

a copy of the said broadside :

" Whereas there hath been several false and Malicious Reports industriously spread abroad

reflecting on Sir Richard Hoare, Goldsmith, for occasioning and promoting a Run for Money on the

Bank of England ;and in particular, several of the Directors of the said Bank, reporting that the

said Sir Richard sent to the Bank for ten of their Notes of 10 each with a design to send several

persons with the said Notes to receive the money thereon, so as to effect his ill designs and to bring

a disreputation on the Bank and occasion a disturbance in the City of London : This is to satisfie

all persons that the Right Hon. the Lord Ashburnham, Father of the Hon. Major Ashburnham,

Major of the First Troop of Her Majestys Life Guards who was ordered to march for Scotland,

accordingly and Sir Richard's servant went to the Bank for ten Notes of 10 each which the Cashier

of the Bank refused to give. But if Sir Richard had intended to promote a run for Money on the

Bank, he could have done it in a more effectual manner, having by him all the time that the great

demand for Money was on the bank, several thousand pounds in Notes payable by the Bank ; and

also there was brought to Sir Richard by several gentlemen in the time of the Run on the Bank

Notes payable by the said Bank amounting to a great many thousands of pounds which he was desired

to take and receive the Money presently from the Bank, which be'refused to do, until the great

demand on the Bank for Money was over.

N'.B. That the Reports against Sir Richard have been more malicious than herein is mentioned,

which he forbears to insert for brevity sake."

I think that the story is highty improbable, for, during the time that this Sir Richard Hoare

lived, jioo demanded from the Bank of England would no more have injured it, or have caused

a run upon it, than a similar sura would at the present day.In 1754 the firm was styled Henry Hoare and Co., and in 1763 it consisted of Henry Hoare,

Richard Hoare, and Richard Hoare.

I have seen the signature of the above Richard Hoare signing for the firm in 1752, probablybefore he had become a partner.

Mr. T. C. Noble supplies me with the following note :

"In the original design for the erection of the Bath Hospital, 1737-*, a copy of which now hangs

on the walb of the chief room there, ^6000 is asked for ; and '

any persons inclined to encouragethis undertaking, are desired to send their contributions to Richard Nash, Esq., Francis Sanguier, Esq.,

and Dr. Oliver, at Bath ; or Mr. Benjamin Hoare, banker, at the Golden Bottle, in Fleet Street,

London.' 1'rince Hoare left the hospital a legacy of j6oo ;and William Hoare, the Royal

Academician, painted the portraits of its patrons. Henry Hoare was president, 1776."In 1770 the Golden Bottle became No. 37, Fleet Street. In 1774 the list shows that Henry

Hoare, jun., was admitted as junior partner, the firm then consisting of Henry, Richard, Richard, and

Henry Hoare. In 1788 one Richard Hoare retired, and another Henry Hoare became partner.

In 1788 the name of Charles Hoare first appears in the firm, and Henry Meyrick Hoare was

admitted about 1791.r the remainder I shall content myself with simply recording the various styles of the firm ; the

minor changes became so numerous, as may be seen upon referring to the lists of bankers at the end

of this book.

The firm continued to be known as Henry Hoare and Co. and Sir Henry Hoare and Co. until

1842, when the style changed to Charles Hoare and Co., which style they have kept up to the present

day. The firm now consists of

Charles Arthur Richard Hoare.

Hollingsworth and Co.This firm was established by Mr. William Pcpys about the year 1739, in Lombard Street, as

I have gathered from information gleaned from old notes bearing his name.Mr. Pepys was a son of John Pepys, a lineal descendant of Samuel Pepys, the diarist. The

following announcement of his first marriage is culled from the London Evening Post, January 15,

1736: "Thursday, Mr. William I'epys, an eminent Banker in Lombard Street, was married at St.

88 LONDON BANKERS. [HOL

Hollingsworth and Co. continued.

Clement's Church in the Strand to Mrs. Susannah Austen, widow, who lately kept Pontack's,* where

she acquired a considerable fortune with universal esteem."

Mr. Pepys married, secondly, Hannah, daughter of Dr. Richard Russell, of Lewes, and widow

of Alexander Weller, by whom he had two sons Sir William Weller Pepys, who became a master

in Chancery, and Sir Lucas Pepys, a court physician. Sir W. W. Pepys' son became Lord High

Chancellor, and was created Earl of Cottenham.

In 1731 the style of the firm was William Pepys and Co., which continued for about five years.

During that interval Charles Asgill and John Nightingale both signed the notes on behalf of Pepysand Co. as clerks, and it is singular that they both left this firm to become partners in the banking-

house of Glegg and Vere. Nightingale probably remained with this firm until their end. (See

GLEGG.)In 1736 the style of the firm altered, becoming Pepys and Hollingsworth. In 1742 Mr. William

Pepys died, and it became Hollingsworth and Co., which continued until 1750, after which date

nothing can be traced of them.

The business was probably transferred to Asgill, Nightingale, and Co. (?).

Holmes, John,A goldsmith, of London, 1670. He married Martha, daughter of John Colvill, of Lombard Street.

Charles I.

Holt, Lawrie, and Co.,

17, Whitehall Place.

This firm is the result of an amalgamation, in 1884, of the firms of Holt and Co. and Lawrie

and*Son.

The Holt branch of the business originated with William Kirkland, who commenced business

as an army agent at 8, Bennett Street, St. James's, about 1809. In 1815 he was succeeded by NugentKirkland, who appears to have also brought with him the army agency previously carried on in

Dublin by Mr. Vesey.In 1822 Nugent Kirkland was joined by John Kirkland (afterwards knighted) under the style

of N. and J. Kirkland, and in 1823 they moved to 8, Waterloo Place. Two years later NugentKirkland retired, and John Kirkland moved to 6, Whitehall, and in 1831 to 80, Pall Mall, SchombergHouse.

He was subsequently joined by Vesey Weston Holt, whose family had for many years been estab-

lished as bankers at Grantham, in Lincolnshire; and in 1859 Sir John Kirkland and Co. moved to

17, Whitehall Place, in consequence of the premises in Pall Mall being required for the present WarOffice.

On the death of Sir John Kirkland, in 1871, the business was carried on by V. W. Holt, who was

subsequently joined by his son, Vesey George Mackenzie Holt.

Vesey Weston Holt died in 1881, and the business was carried on by Vesey George Mackenzie

Holt, one of the present partners, until the amalgamation with Lawrie and Son in 1884.

The Lawrie branch of the business was founded about 1780 by Andrew Lawrie, who came from

Edinburgh and started as an army agent at 15, George Street, York Buildings. About 1795 ne

appears to have moved to 4, John Street, Adelphi, and subsequently, in 1810, to i, Robert Street,

Adelphi.About 1827 he was succeeded by his son, John Lawrie, who moved in 1837 to 10, Charles Street,

St. James's, where the business continued to be carried on until 1877.

In 1838 he took into partnership Mr. McGrigor, who appears to have left him two years later to

start as an army agent on his own account

In 1849 John Lawrie died and was succeeded by his son, Andrew Lawrie, who continued to carry

on the business at Charles Street, and subsequently at 70, Jermyn Street, until shortly before his death,

in 1884, when he took into partnership his son, Percy Shute Lawrie, who, on the death of Andrew

Lawrie, joined Messrs. Holt and Co.

The present partners are Vesey George Mackenzie Holt, the Honourable Cuthbert Ellison

Edwardes, and Percy Shute Lawrie.

Hopkinson and Sons.

About the year 1796 Lieut-Colonel George Caesar Hopkinson, late of the 15th Light Dragoons,set up business in Craig's Court, near Charing Cross, as an army agent

It will be found, on reference to the Directory, that in 1810 Colonel Hopkinson had moved from

Craig's Court to 5, St. Albans Street, and had taken two partners his firm then being G. C. Hopkin-

son, Charles Hopkinson, and Edmund Hopkinson. The fact of their names appearing in the Directoryin the list of bankers is sufficient to prove that they were established about that date, but Mr. C. Hop-kinson is of opinion that they were established as army agents and bankers only about 1820. In 1817

they moved to 34, Pall Mall, which they vacated in 1819, when they went to Regent Street From1826 to 1830 the firm was composed of Charles E. Hopkinson, Charles Hopkinson, jun., and

George Henry Hopkinson.In 1831 it became Charles Hopkinson, Barton, and Co.; in 1846 Charles Hopkinson and C. S.

Knyvett assumed the style of Hopkinson and Co. Since 1870 the firm has been known as Charles

Hopkinson and Sons, consisting of the following partners :

Charles Hopkinson.

George Henry Hopkinson.Amelius Arthur Hopkinson.

Horn (George) and Killmaine (David)Were goldsmiths and bankers at the Angel and Crown, over against the New Exchange in the

Strand, the earliest date being 1716. In 1721 we find James Temple signing endorsements for David

Killmaine and Co. in or about 1735. The style of the firm then was Home and Temple. In 1736-8

it was styled Temple and Hawn (sic); and in the "Compleate Guide to London" published in 1740,

the firm was the same, with the exception of Mr. Home's name being spelt" Haorn." The first was

probably correct, it being the mode in which they spelt their own names in writing endorsements. In

1733 we nnd the name of N. Amber signing for the firm; subsequently it became Green and Amber,

whose names appear in Kent's Directory for 1745 as being near Durham Yard, Strand. We have

been unable to trace them after that date.

James Temple became bankrupt in 1740.

Horneby, Joseph,A goldsmith, who resided in 1666 at the sign of the Unicorn, in Lombard Street, but after the

Great Fire he transferred it to Edward Backwell.

By the closing of the Exchequer on January 2, 1672, he lost ,22,548 5^. 6d., for which sum

6 per cent, was awarded as interest, amounting to ^1352 175. 10^. per annum.

He appears to have had some trouble over this, as will be seen from the following short abstract

obtained at the Public Record Office, which sets forth the way in which money was lodged in the

Exchequer :

_" Complaint by 'Joseph Horneby, citizen and Goldsmith of London.' He now exercises and

'for divers years last' has exercised 'the trade of a goldsmith in London,' and 'haveing in that time,

at the desire of the Kinges most excellent Majestic and the great ministers and officers of his revenue

of his Exchequer, advanced and furnished, as his Majestie's occasion required, considerable sums of

money for his and the publicke service uppon the only security of being repayd the same with interest

by way of orders on the Exchequer Tallies and Assignments uppon the duties of customs, excise,

fire-hearthes, and other branches of the King's revenue.'

" For the advance of such loans, there was a regular course settled by the Court of Exchequer for

the payment of all monies borrowed. This course was observed for divers years, &c." Divers persons, and particularly the Defendants to this action, who were unacquainted with the

proceedings of the Exchequer and the way of paying in and receiving out money advanced as afore-

said, and who regarded the sums they could lend as so small, that it was not worth the labour of

attending the said Exchequer for the same,'

did, without so much as ever being spoken to by your

orator or any on his behalfe, for that purpose, freely and voluntarily apply themselves to your orator

to take and receive of him severall sums of money to be lent and disposed by your orator, uppon the

securities and the creditt aforesaid, they taking notice that your orator, by reason that he had exer-

cised that kind of dealing and was experienced therein, and that there were divers persons that did

entrust your orator soe to dispose and lend their monies, by which means your orator had opportuni-

ties of putting severall persons' monies into one sum, and of advancing and lending greater sums of

money than himself or any other private person could doe, and for carrying on that affaire which was

noe other way to be done.'' Notes or Bonds '

dayes after, as the usuall course was.'

" One of the Defendants, John White, so lent money and went abroad ;and on returning to

England learnt of 'the stopp of the Exchequer.' The orator paid him part of what he had lent, on

condition he would not sue him for the remainder till the Exchequer should open again. White is

dead, and his exors. Thomas Wise and Francis Walters [or Wat4rs\ have now sued orator in

Horneby, Joseph and Nathaniel.

Joseph and Nathaniel Hornboy*

(spelt thus) were keeping running-cashes at the Star, in Lumberd

Street, in 1677. By a deed in possession of the Phoenix Fire Office, it appears that Joseph Hornebywas at the sign of the Sun or Star, now No. 20, which previous to the Great Fire was the White Swan,

in occupation of William Long, a vintner.

In 1696 Mr. Nathaniel Horneby was appointed one of the goldsmiths, with Mr. Coggs, of the

Strand, to receive subscriptions for the Greenwich Hospital, then just begun.The loss sustained by the closing of the Exchequer no doubt injured them considerably, as no

interest was paid for some years; and on January 12, 1701, the London Gazette announced that they

were bankrupts.

Hoskins, Thomas,Goldsmith, 1694, at the Bunch of Grapes, Cheapside.

Howell, Benjamin, 1710-14,A goldsmith at the Peacock's Feathers, near Royal Exchange, in Cornhill. The Daily Courant

and a reward would be paid on its being taken to his shop.

Hubert, William,Minter, of the parish of St Botolph without Aldersgate. By his will dated March 27, 1328, he

In 1701 the firm was Roger and John Hudson. I have several drafts between the years 1701and 1714 bearing their endorsements. In the London Gazette of August 24, 1706, Roger Hudsonadvertises for his clerk, who had absconded with eight hundred guineas. In 1713 he appears to have

moved to St Swithin's Lane, as he advertises in the Daily Courant for a note lost under the hand of

Ironside and Belchier

Were bankers at the sign of the Black Lion, afterwards 65, Lombard Street. All that can be

ascertained is that they flourished between 1729-56.

Sir Edward Ironside was Lord Mayor in 1753.

In 1731 Messrs. Knight and Bourne had a clerk of the name of W. Belchier, and, as it is an

uncommon name, it is probable that he joined Ironside in partnership.

There was a goldsmith named Edward Ironside in Lombard Street in 1697, wno was probably the

predecessor of the above.

Issod, Thomas,A goldsmith and plate-worker at. the Whire Horse on Fleet Bridge. In the London Gazette of

Goldsmith, at the Three Flower de Luces, in Cheapside. He advertised the loss of jewelry in the

London Gazette. In the "Little London Directory" of 1677 we find the name of James Johnson,

described as of the same house, keeping running cashes.

The following curious advertisement respecting prizes in a lottery appeared in the London Gazette

of November 23, 1693 :

"These are to give notice that Mr. Neale, the Trustees, Overseers, and Goldsmiths having adjusted

all matters and accounts relating to the Profitable Adventure to the Fortunate lately drawn in Free-

man's Yard Cornhill, have so ordered the money that each Fortunate ticket being on Tuesday next

or at any time after brought to the Goldsmith whence the same was taken, will forthwith be paid, as

will also be paid all such Fortunate tickets as were signed by Thomas Neale, when brought to the

shop of Mr. John Johnson at the Three Flower de Luces in Cheapside London."

In 1696 we read of him as Sir John Johnson, at the same sign; and in 1703 we find Henry

Johnson located there.

Johnston, Hugh and John, and Co.,

First appeared in the Directory in the list of bankers in the year 1831, at 15, Bush Lane, as

Johnston and Co. In 1838 the style was Hugh and John Johnstone and Co. ;in 1846 the partners

were John Laforey Butler, Felix Prior, and Charles Butler, hut the style remained the same;and in

1849 Paul Butler took the place of Mr. J. L. Butler. In 1854 they were at 62, Great Bush Lane,

and 27, Cannon Street; and from 1855 to 1864 they were at 28, Cannon Street In 1865 the

Merchant Banking Co. of London occupied their premises.

Jones, Cave,Goldsmith, 1732, at the Golden Ball, at the corner of St. Michael's Alley, Cornhill.

Jones, Lawrence,Goldsmith, circa 1595, of St. Mary Abchurch.

Jones, Loyd, and Co.

The firm of Jones, Loyd, and Co. was started by Joseph Jones and Co. in Manchester, and a

branch bank was started at 17, Watling Street, in the year 1784. They next went to Walbrook, and

finally took No. 43, Lothbury, in or about the year 1788. In 1794 the firm became Daniel Jones,

Barker, Loyd, and Co. ;and in 1799 Jones, Loyd, and Co.

The following account, extracted from Mr. F. Martin's "Stories of Banks and Bankers," will

explain how the Loyd interest was introduced into the firm, although I cannot quite agree with him

that Mr. Lewis Loyd was the actual founder of the bank, as the list of bankers for the year 1788

distinctly shows that the house at 43, Lothbury, was established by Mr. Joseph Jones. Still, I give

the story, as it is probably quite true, being originally mentioned by Lawson in his "History of

Banking."Mr. Lewis Loyd, the founder of the house, father of the present Lord Overstone, began his

Jones, Loyd, and Co.fonlintud.

career as a U'elsh dissenting minister in a small chapel at Manchester, the congregation of which

included a Mr. Jones, a sort of half banker, half manufacturer. In addition to Mr. Jones there was a

young Miss Jones who attended the sermons of the Rev. Mr. Loyd, and, as often happens, the maiden

found the orations so eloquent that she fell in love with the preacher. The affection was responded

to by the minister, and the couple, fearing the purse-proud merchant would never consent to the

inesallianct, were privately married.

Of course, when the affair became known to Mr. Jones, as it could not fail to be, he was exceed-

ingly angry ; but, seeing that things went on pretty comfortably with his daughter, he became recon-

ciled in the end to his reverend son-in-law. However, though fond of attending sermons, he did not

think preaching a good business, and therefore proposed that Mr. Loyd should give up the Welsh

dissenting chapel and enter his counting-house as a partner, under the firm of Jones, Loyd, and Co.

Mr. I.oyd consented, and, to extend the business, it was subsequently agreed that he should go to

London, and establish a bank under the name of the Manchester firm.

This was done, it is said, in consequence of Mr. Jones' London agents, who were up to that time

Messrs. Vere, Lucadon, and Co., the ancestors of the present firm of Fuller, Banbury, and Co.,

making repeated complaints about the trouble of keeping the account Had they not done so, the

London house of Jones, Loyd, and Co. would probably have never been established, and Messrs.

Fuller and Co. would have had the satisfaction of being one of the largest private bankers in

London.

Jones, Loyd, and Co., of Manchester, drew bills upon Jones, Loyd, and Co., of London. These

operations were facetiously designated as "pig upon baron ;

"the phrase itself having, it is said,

originated in the following incident : Mr. Loyd having one day called upon a customer whose accept-

the banker held, and the same having been drawn upon the house in London by a firm abroad,

asked the customer whether the bills so drawn upon and accepted by him were based upon bona fide

transactions." Before I answer that question," said the gentleman,

"you must permit me, Mr. Loyd,

to put a question to you." At the same time, opening a drawer, he produced several bills drawn by

Jones, Loyd, and Co., of Manchester, on Jones, Loyd, and Co., of London. "Pray, sir, are these

bills, which I call 'pig upon bacon,' all based upon henb fide transactions?" This was so unexpecteda retort that Mr. Loyd retired without uttering another word.

After a long and honourable career, Mr. Lewis Loyd retired from the bank (he died worth three

millions sterling), and was succeeded as head of the firm by his son, Mr. Samuel Jones Loyd, who

was, in 1850, created Lord Overstone. Upon this event the following clever lines were written :

" The Banker Lord mmst hare his name destroyed ;

The Peerage must be pure, no peer a Loyd ;

No longer by hit City title known,Lord Overgold is now Lord Oventone."

He was considered one of the richest subjects in the world, having been worth upwards of five millions

sterling.

The following capital story is told of Jones Loyd's sagacity. It appeared that for some reason or

another Baron Rothschild had a spite against Mr. Loyd, so he determined upon trying to ruin his

firm. One afternoon, after three o'clock, the Baron paid in to his account with Jones, Loyd, and Co.

the large sum of ,500,000, made up of bank notes, cheques upon bankers, and coin. Upon this

circumstance coming to the ears of Mr. Loyd, which of course it very shortly did, he, suspecting that

the Baron intended mischief, instructed the cashier not to clear the charge paid in, but to put it awayin a bag, and lock it up in the strong room just as it was. The next morning, about ten o'clock,

n Rothschild's clerk presented a draft upon Jones, lx>yd, and Co. for ^500,000, for which he

demanded to be paid in bank notes. The cashier went at once to Mr. Loyd to receive instructions.

Mr. Ix>yd retaliated upon Rothschild by saying, "The effects are not cleared," and pushing the bagacross the counter, with its contents in the same condition as they were left the night before, he said,

96 LONDON BANKERS. [JON KEA

Jones, Loyd, and Co. continued," There ! Take your rubbish back, and tell Baron Rothschild that I never wish to see it again."

Thus, in all probability, a grave calamity was averted.

In 1864, much to the surprise of the world at large, Messrs. Jones, Loyd, and Co. disposed of

their business to the London and Westminster Bank.

In a work entitled" The Bank of England

"(by the author of the "

People's Blue Book," Long-

mans) it is stated that" some millions of deposits have been added to the London and Westminster

Bank by amalgamation with the house of Jones, Loyd, and Co., the largest private banking-house in

the City of London, and the most inveterate of all the enemies of the joint-stock banking principle."

In view of this fact it is curious to read the evidence given in 1840 by Mr. Samuel Jones Loyd before

the Parliamentary Committee on the Bank Charter Act Condemning the joint-stock system as quite

inapplicable to banking, he declared on that occasion :

"I think joint-stock banks are deficient in

everything requisite for the conduct of banking business except extended responsibility."

1701, the following appeared :" On the ist, 2nd, and 3rd May next three Plates will be run

for on Merrow Downs, near Guilford in Surrey; the particulars are mentioned in the Gazette of

February 24 last. The contributors being to pay their money a month before, are desired to pay it

to Mr. Keate, Goldsmith, at the Unicorn in the Strand, London. A Prize will likewise be run for bywomen ;

with other diversions." These other diversions probably took the form of cock-fighting or

bull-baiting, both of which sports were of frequent occurrence, especially the former, in those days,

and of which notices often appeared in the Gazette, Keate's address continued at the Unicorn

in 1716.

seen in the Directory for 1786, when the style of the firm was Moffatt, Kensington, and Boler;and

in 1788 a fresh partner of the name of Styan was admitted. In the list of bankers of 1791 the

name of Boler disappears, the firm becom ngtons, and Styan. In 1807 it was

Kensingtons and Co., and in 1812 the firm of Kensingtons, Styan, and Adams stopped payment.

Head, in Lombard Street, which was before he set up for himself. In 1719 they were bankrupt.

Licy's son, Charles James I>acy, was admitted a partner, when the firm became Pocklington, Lacy,and Son. Mr. Pocklington died in 1850, and in 1851 the firm became Lacy and Son, which style

remained unaltered either by the death of Mr. B. Lacy in 1857, or by the admission, in 1867, of his

grandson, Charles James Lacy, jun., until 1875, when, upon the admission of Mr. Dixon-Hartland,the firm became I>acy, Son, and Hartland. In 1877 the business represented three old country

banking firms, as Mr. Dixon-Hartland is the last representative of the l.ynn Regis bankers, Gales,

i. and Massey, and also of the firm of Hartland, Prior, Proctor, and Easthorpe, who carried onthe principal banking business in Gloucestershire and parts of Worcestershire for upwards of a centuryand a h*l, and who, in 1836, sold the banks to the Gloucestershire Banking Company.

The banking-house at 60, West Smithfield, built for the firm in 1808, and rebuilt and enlarged in

1876, occupies the site of the edifice from which Queen Mar)- witnessed the burning of the martyrswho suffered in Smithfield during her reign, and the charred post to which they were supposed to havebeen attached was not many years ago dug up opposite the bank.

A circular, dated December 31, 1880, announced the retirement of Mr. Lacy, sen., and the

admission into the firm of Mr. 1 1. W. U'oodbridge, a member of the old-established firm of Hull,

Smith, and Co., at Uxbridge. The style of the firm therefore changed to J-acy, Hartland, Woodbridge,and Co., and their business at Brentford and Southall became branches of Messrs. Hull, Smith, and

into which firm Mr. C. J. Lacy, jun., and Mr. Dixon-Hartland, M.P., were admitted partners.

Ladbroke and Co.

This firm was of considerable antiquity, notwithstanding it does not appear in the list of bankers

in the Directory before 1771 ;in which year its style was Sir Robert Ladbroke, Son, Rawlinson, and

Porker, doing business at the I'hcenix, afterwards 10, Lombard Street. It is evident that they were

established as early as 1736, probably as goldsmiths, as by an endorsement to one of Messrs. Child

and Co.'s drafts the signature of " Robert Ladbroke and Co." may be seen duly witnessed by their

clerk.

Robert I-adbroke was Lord Mayor in 1747, and Alderman of Bridge Without, a member of

Parliament for the City of London, and a colonel of the City Militia. In an old almanack he was

described as "Father of the City." In 1774 his son was head of the bank, and they had moved from

Lombard Street to Bank Buildings. Messrs. Ladbroke and Co. gave up their business in 1842, whenit was taken over by Messrs. Glyn and Co.

was resolved that a fund, redeemable by Parliament, should be settled in a National Land Bank;

It is said that its existence was marked chiefly by a paper war with the Bank of England, in which

it was held that the latter got the worst of the encounter. One fly-sheet of the year 1696 proclaims

"the trial and condemnation of the Land Bank at Exeter Change for murdering the Bank of Englandat Grocers' Hall," while another gives an epitaph :

" Here lies the body of the Bank of England, who

was born in the year 1694, and died May 5, 1696, in the third year of its age."

The failure of this Land Bank and other causes brought about the stoppage of the Bank of

England, when their notes fell to such a heavy discount

Lane,Goldsmith, at the Rose, in Lombard Street, advertised in 1695 to sell copper medals of King

Charles I., having on the obverse the royal effigy, and on the reverse a landscape, with the motto:

soon afterwards.

This old-established banking-house was started by John Brassey as early as 1697. The firm was

Brassey and Caswall about the year 1700, and they were at the Acorn, in Lombard Street. The first

record that can be discovered about them is their names upon old cash-notes of Messrs. Child ; the

earliest dates being in 1707, when their endorsement was witnessed by J. Browne. The same old

notes show that in 1716 the firm consisted of John and Nathaniel Brassey. In the London Gazette

of January 9, 1720, they advertised the loss of ^100 in bank notes, for the recovery of which theywould give ^50 reward, and ask no questions. Between 1730 and 1740 it was Nathaniel Brasseyand Lee. The first time this firm appears in the London Directory is in 1738, and then they were

located in Lombard Street In 1754 the style of the firm was Brassey, Lee, and Son. In a list of

bankers, included in an almanack called the "Daily Journal," published in 1768, the firm of Brassey,

Lee,- R. and \V. Ayton, were at the Acorn, in Lombard Street, which in 1771, after the numbering

of the houses took place, became No. 71. In 1774 the style of the firm became Ayton and Com-; and in 1776 Lee, Ayton, Brassey, and Eaton were carrying on the business. In 1785 the

nation again became Ayton, Brassey, and Co., consisting of Ayton, Brassey, Lees, and Sattcr-

thwaite. The next change is recorded in the Directory of 1799, when the head of the firm became

George Lee, supported by R. Lee, Miles, and Satterthwaite. In 1805 it was Lees, Satterthwaite,

and Br.issey ;in 1810 they appear to have taken a partner of the name of Farr; and from 1820 to

1835 the style of the firm was Lees, Brassey, Farr, and l^e. In the last year this old-established

bank, which had originated in the business of a goldsmith and banker upwards of 135 years before,

1864, with a paid-up capital of ^400,000, and a reserve fund of about ^400,000.

London and South-Western Bank (Limited),

170, Fenchurch Street, was established in 1862. They have many branches in London, the

suburbs, and the country. The new premises occupy the site of the following houses, which existed

in 1712 : the Three Kings, the Black Lion, and the Cross Keys, up to Ingram Court. A beautiful

plan of the old houses may be seen in the bank. The paid-up capital is .400,000, and the reserve

fund amounts to .65,000.

London and Westminster Bank (Limited)Was established in 1834. Up to this date it had always been considered that no joint-stock bank

could be established within a radius of sixty-five miles of London.

Mr. James William Gilbart, who commenced his banking career as a clerk to a City banker in

1813, subsequently went to Ireland as manager of a joint-stock bank, and then returned to London.

Having discovered that the old notions as to the formation of a joint-stock bank were erroneous, he

set to work to form a model one ; and the result was the London and Westminster Bank.

No scheme ever met with more formidable opposition, not only from the private bankers, but

especially from the Bank of England, who considered that the "upstart" was infringing their monopoly.

t idea was speedily dissipated upon the question being put to the Solicitor-General, who gave it

as his opinion that any number of joint-stock banks might be established, or might have been, since

the foundation of the Bank of England, provided they did not issue notes, within sixty-five miles of

the metropolis.

With a paid-up capital of ,50,000 the London and Westminster Bank commenced business at

38, Throgmorton Street, on March 10, 1834. Previously to so doing, tjiey had applied to the Bankof England for permission to have a drawing account

;but their application was refused. They also

asked the Committee of Bankers to be allowed a seat in the Clearing House, but that application was

likewise refused ; and, after repeated applications, they did not gain admittance until June, 1854.

After a few more oppositions on the part of the Bank of England, the London and Westminster

Bank succeeded in holding its position.

The following banking businesses have been absorbed by it : Young and Son, of Southwark, who

gave up on account of the death of the latter ; Strahan, Paul, and Bates ; Jones, Loyd, and Co. ; Com-incn i.il ll.mk of London

; Unity Joint Stock Bank ; and London and Middlesex Bank.

It has a paid-up capital of t,800,000, with a reserve fund of ,1,655,620.The London and Westminster Bank has thirteen branches in the metropolis.

London Joint Stock Bank (Limited)Was established in 1836, and registered on September 30, 1882. Head office, 5, Princes Street,

with seven branches in other parts of London. (See list.)

He was established in Lombard Street prior to the Great Fire, but took a shop in Broad Street

during the rebuilding of his place of business. On January 10, 1669, a notice was inserted in the

London Gazette to the effect that he had removed from Broad Street to his house in Lombard Street.

On February 14, 1675, the following advertisement appeared :

"Lost, in New Fish Street, over

goldsmith, at the Angel in Lumbard Street, shall have 10 Guineys for his pains." He subsequentlytook a partner, one Peirce Reeve ; and the Gazette for October 2, 1679, announced that the creditors

of John Lyndsay and Peirce Reeve, goldsmiths, had appointed to meet on a certain day to hear their

proposals.

which was, I presume, the tene-

April 5, 1718 :

This is a curious advertisement, as this Jonathan Wild was the celebrated thief and thief-taker,

who, according to Cunningham, lived at the house afterwards No. 68, the second door south of Ship

Court, in the Old Bailey. He was executed on May 24, 1725 ;and it is recorded that at his execution

he picked the parson's pocket of his corkscrew, which he carried out of the world in his hand.

Marlow, Jeremiah,Of the Spread Eagle, now No. 66, Lombard Street, was there as early as 1694. He frequently

advertised his wares in the London Gazette up to the year 1702, of which the following is an example :

" Those who are curious in seals, cut in cornelian, aggat, Berril, Onyx, Sardonyx, &c. with a variety

of fine fancies Heads and figures, both ancient and modern, may be furnished where you may have

your coat of arms. Cyphers and other devices curiously engraved on any sort of stone." He was

evidently a simple goldsmith. I have no record of his keeping running-cashes. On February 26,

1722, he advertised in the Daily Courant : "Any one that has a place of One, two, or three Hundreda year to dispose of, if they will give notice to Mr. Marlowe, near Aldgate, may be informed of a

person who will treat for the same." The sign of his house, as determined by an advertisement in

1734, was Blackmore's Head. He appears to have died shortly after this date, as we learn from the

Daily Journal, January 20, 1735, that the entire collection of the late Jeremiah Marlow, of Abchurch

Lane, jeweller and auctioneer, was to be disposed of. It is rather open to doubt whether this was the

same man who was formerly at the Spread Eagle in Lombard Street, and afterwards went to Aldgate ;

yet the articles to be sold were similar to those he had been in the habit of advertising for sale.

Of 6, Berners Street, Oxford Street, an old-established bank, failed through the forgeries of their

partner, Henry Fauntleroy, which were discovered in the year 1824.

The name of Henry Fauntleroy, the father, who had originally been a clerk to a City banker, first

appeared as a partner in the firm in 1797.

The style of the bank in 1796, in which year it first appears in the "London Directory," was De

Vismes, Cuthbert, Marsh, Creed, and Co. Henry Fauntleroy, sen., died in 1807, when he was

succeeded in the partnership by his son, Henry, the forger. In 1814 he was appointed one of three

trustees to the estate of a family consisting of eight children. He shortly forged the signatures of his

co-trustees to a power of attorney for the sale of stock standing in their names in the Consols. That

operation being successful, he tried others, until at last he had defrauded the Bank of England of the

sum of ^360,000 ; some portion of which; it is believed, they have recovered.

MAR] LONDON BA \KERS. 107

Marsh, Stracey, and Co. continued.

The discovery was accidentally made by one of the trustees, in investigating the books at the Bank

of England, that certain sums in Consols, etc., had been sold out; whereupon he lost no time in

communicating with the police, and Fauntleroy was arrested in the bank parlour in Berners Street

He had kept accurate accounts of all the forgeries he had committed.

On October 30, 1824, he was charged at the Old Bailey with forgery, of which offence he was

found guilty, and on November 30 following he was executed.

Amongst his papers the following statement was discovered, by .itself sufficient to prove his

guilt:" In order to keep up the credit of our house, I have forged powers of attorney for the above

sums and parties, and sold out to the amount here stated, and without the knowledge of my partners.

I kept up the payments of the dividends, but made no entries of such payments in our books. The

Bank first began to refuse to discount our acceptances, and to destroy the credit of our house. The

Bank shall smart for it."

1'auntleroy kept an open house during the days of his supposed prosperity, and so gathered together

a large circle of acquaintances. Dickens used to relate an anecdote, which shows what manner of

men these acquaintances were. It must be premised that, at the elegant dinners in Berners Street

and at Hrighton, some particularly choice curacpa always made its appearance. The night before the

execution, three gentlemen visited the condemned cell at Newgate, and, as they were about to retire,

one of them turned back to the wretched man, and said :"Fauntleroy, you stand on the verge of

the grave. Remember the text, my dear man, that we brought nothing into this world, and it is

certain we can take nothing out Have you, therefore, any objection to tell me, as a friend, where

you got that curaqoa ?"

This firm stopped payment in 1824. On July 31, 1829, a dividend of twelve shillings and

sixpcme in the pound was declared.

The following curious account is tiken from The News of January 4, 1829 :

- MR. EX-SHERIFF PARKINS'S ExcHF.nfK.k BILLS. The fifteen thousand in Exchequer Bills,

belonging to Mr. Ex-Sheriff Parkins, which have lately, through the failure of Stephenson's bank, pro-.1 such confusion in the Money Market, and which bid fair to find their way ultimately into the

pockets of Commissioners of Bankrupts and Lawyers, appear to have gone through as many perils as

are recorded in the 'Adventures of a Guinea.' Mr. K\-Sheriff Parkins is well known to have been

a most eccentric man in all his transactions. He formerly kept cash at Messrs. Marsh, Stacey, and

Fauntleroy'i bank, and a short time previous to the discovery of Fauntleroy's forgeries, and the failure

of that house, Mr. Ex-Sheriff one night dreamt that his money was in jeopardy, and early the next

morning he proceeded to the banking-house and withdrew the whole of his balance, amounting to

^20,000 in Exchequer Bills. Fauntleroy made some evasive reply to gain time, or if possible preventthe money from being withdrawn

;but the Ex-Sheriff was inexorable. He was fully convinced there

was some foundation for his midnight visions, and vowed he would not leave the house without his

Exchequer Bills. A bundle of Exchequer Bills to the amount of ^20,000 was accordingly paid over

to him, and he immediately proceeded to deposit them in Messrs. Child and Co.'s bank; but on

taking account of the bills, it was discovered that they were not the same numbers as the bills he had

deposited with Fauntleroy. -He however congratulated himself on his' sagacity in foreseeing the

embarrassment of the house, and broke out into a strong invective against Fauntleroy. The partner

in Messrs. Child's house replied,' that although they should be happy to receive his deposits, they

could not listen to any slander against any other firm.' The Sheriff, getting into his wonted rage,

swore that they should have none of his money if they would not hear his story, and, folding up the

said Exchequer Hills, put them into his pocket, and kept them in his own possession. Soon after this

event, the worthy XX presented himself as a candidate for the representation of a certain borough,

and, standing on the hustings, his antagonist inquired who he was, and who introduced him there?

iiT, in his usual violent mode, replied, Til soon let you know who I am, and what are my

recommendations;

' and he put his hand in his pocket to pull out, as he thought, twenty thousand

pounds in Exchequer Bills, when, by the aid of sorne magic, the pocket was empty. The affair caused

immediate excitement in the Market-place. The Sheriff swore more than usual, and vowed vengeance

against the towns-folk, unless his money was restored. A search having been immediately instituted,

the bundle of bills was discovered at the foot of the hustings, very near the worthy Candidate's 'person,

and were instantly restored to him without any reward to the finder. The unfortunate Sheriff soon

after wishing to place the bills in the most respectable house for security, had the good luck to depositthem with Mr. Rowland Stephenson !

Marshall, Thomas,Goldsmith, 1539-45, resided in the parish of St. Mary Woolnoth.

Marten and Co., 1814-27. (See CALL.)

Martin and Co.,

68, Lombard Street. This is a very old business. The firm, indeed, claims to be the oldest in

the City of London. It is supposed to have been established by Sir Thomas Gresham, that eminent

goldsmith and royal merchant (as he was then termed) of Queen Elizabeth's time, who founded the

Royal Exchange and Gresham College, and vastly improved the condition of trade. For further

particulars concerning him, see under " GRESHAM "in this work.

Mr. J. B. Martin has informed me that Thomas Gresham was admitted as a pensioner of Gonville

Hall, Cambridge, though no registers survive to prove the date. Here he contracted an enduring

friendship with Dr. John Caius, who, later on, when Sir Thomas Gresham was engaged in building the

Royal Exchange, was occupied in the erection of the collegiate buildings which, as Gonville and Caius

College, still bear his name. It is a strong point of presumptive evidence as to the connection

between the Grasshopper and Sir Thomas Gresham that the account of Gonville and Caius Collegeis inscribed in the books 'from their earliest date to the present time.

He carried on his trade in Lombard Street at the sign of the Grasshopper, by which this house

was widely known until the year 1770, when all the houses were numbered, and the Grasshopperbecame No. 68, Lombard Street. It is a matter of great regret that this curious old sign, which was

made of brass, has been lost, stolen, or destroyed. Mr. John Biddulph Martin, in his most interestingand valuable paper, entitled

" The Grasshopper," apropos of the sign, writes :

" The disappearance of the sign is not, however, attributable to any want of reverence on the part

of its owners, but to the dishonesty of the workmen who rebuilt the house in 1794-5. It is said that

it was carefully put away during the rebuilding, but was not forthcoming at the completion of the works."

This is not a singular occurrence, as the very same thing happened to the sign of the Crown,Messrs. Willis', when that house was rebuilt, and to the Golden Anchor, the sign of Snows, afterwards

known as Strahans, which sign was taken down and destroyed as recently as 1875.Mr. Martin very properly repudiates the absurdity of an old legend which was supposed to have

been the origin of Sir Thomas Gresham's sign and crest, viz. that a passer-by was attracted by the chirpof a grasshopper, turned a'side from his path through a meadow, and found Gresham, a castawayinfant. It is very well known that Gresham's father filled the office of Cambium Regis, or Royaloffice of Exchange, to Henry VIII., by which monarch and by Cardinal Wolsey he was much esteemed.

When the latter was deprived of the Great Seal, what appeared to pain him most, after the displeasureof the King, was that he did not know how he would be able to repay Gresham the sum of two

hundred pounds he had borrowed froni him.

The next mention of the Grasshopper occurs in the "Little London Directory" of 1677, whichshows that Char. Duncombe and Richard Kent were at that address in Lombard Street. BetweenC.resham's time and that date nothing can be told of the house.

MAR] I.OXnOX /.-LVA7:A'.V. 109

Martin and Co. continued.

Charles Duncombe was an apprentice, and afterwards servant to Alderman Edward Backwell,* at

the Unicorn,t in Lombard Street, until the year 1672, when, by the closing of the Exchequer, Backwell

failed, and Charles Duncombe started on his own account as banker;and I have no doubt he was able

to carry on the greater part of the Alderman's business. A considerable portion, we know, went to

Blanchard and Child at the Marygold. He was at the Grasshopper in 1676, as may be proved from

an advertisement in the London Gazette offering a reward for some stylen plate. Duncombe's father

Mexander Duncombe, of Whitchurch, co. Bucks, and is reputed to have been steward to Sir

William Tirringham, at Tirringham, in the same county. This fact probably accounts for Charles

Duncombe going to Backwell's, as he too had a property at Whitchurch.

In 1677, as before stated, he was in partnership with Richard Kent; but who the latter was we

have never been able to ascertain. In 1666 a Richard Kent had an account with Edward Backwell,

which looks much like a goldsmith's clearing account, but I am unable to pronounce positively as

to it

Between the years 1672-1688 the names of this firm occur in the ledgers of Blanchard and Child,

with whom Duncombe and Kent kept an account for"clearing," as all other goldsmiths did with

each other.

I have met with an interesting draft drawn on Mr. Duncombe, March 3, 1669, and other drafts

relating to him up to the year 1701, one of the latter bearing his autograph. At this date he was Sir

Charles Duncombe. The one dated in 1669 was drawn at the time he was with Edward Backwell.

By a notice in the London Gazette of January 21, 1683, advertising for a "pocket picture," pre-

sumably a miniature, we find that Mr. Winn in that year was at the Grasshopper ; but, as this is the

only time his name has emerged to view, he probably was a servant J to Mr. Duncombe.

Between 1684 and 1688 the name of Valentine Duncombe frequently occurs, as, for instance, on

an order of Lord Weymouth's, March 29, 1688, addressed to a Mr. I )owle :

" You may pay y" one hundred and fourscore pounds for y* Fine to Mr. Valentine Duncombe,ker (sit), at Y* Grasshoper in Lombard Street, whose acquittance for y' same shall bee accepted

by me for payment" WEYMOUTH."

A receipt for this amount, stating it was for the use of the Right Hon. Thomas Lord Viscount

Wi.-ymouth, was given by Mr. Yall. Duncombe.

Charles Duncombe was Warden of the Mint towards the close of the reign of Charles II.

Charles Duncombe was at the Grasshopper in 1688, as we ascertain from an order signed byR. Bretland, addressed to the Right Hon. Thomas Earl Rivers at Capt. Child's, Goldsmith, at Y*

Marygold, to pay Charles Duncombe two hundred pounds," as from Charles ffrith, for the use of the

King, for your lordship's use," during the period of James II.'s troubles. He had evidently been

a very successful banker, as may be deduced from the following entry in Evelyn's Diary, under date

June ii, 1696, where he writes : "To this add the fraud of the bankers and goldsmiths, who, having

gotten immense riches by extortion, keep up their treasure in expectation of enhancing its value.

ham's Estate at near ^90,000, and reputed to have as near as much in cash." A couplet of Pope'simmortalizes the transaction :

" And Helmsley, once proud Buckingham's delight,Slides to a Scrivener or City-Knight."

The estate referred to was Helmsley in Yorkshire, subsequently Buncombe Park, the seat of the

Earl of Feversham, a descendant of Sir Charles Buncombe, Lord Mayor of London in 1708-9.In one of Messrs. Child's old ledgers, a large sum of money was drawn out of his account by

Charles Buncombe at this date, 1696. Probably it was to pay for the purchase of this estate.

Bishop Burnet, speaking of the shameful shutting-up of the Exchequer by Charles II., states that

the Earl of Shaftesbury, knowing of the design, had profited by his knowledge, as he informed the

Bishop that he had removed all his money out of his banker's hands, and had warned his friends to

do the like.

Sir John Buncombe also is said to have had a large sum of his own, and another belonging to the

Marquis of Winchester, in the Exchequer, from which he withdrew them before the suspension of

payments took place. This Sir John Buncombe was a son of Sir Edward Buncombe, of Battlesden,

and one of the Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury, and, on the resignation of Anthony Ashley

Cooper, became Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1672. The Marquis of Winchester, afterwards

Buke of Bolton, strenuously supported Sir Charles Buncombe's cause when he was impeached in the

reign of William III., his influence rescuing him by one vote.

This is probably the reason why Blanchard and Child did not sustain a loss, as both Bishop

Burnet and the Buke of Bolton banked with them.

The Buncombes appear to have severed their connection with the Grasshopper in 1688.

Evelyn's Biary, under date January 30, 1 6 9^, records : "The imprisonment of the great banker

Buncombe : censured by Parliament; acquitted by the Lords

;sent again to the Tower by the

Commons," for making false endorsements with others on Exchequer bills. He, however, became

Sheriff of London in 1699, when he was knighted; and he served the office of Mayor in 1708. Hedied unmarried April 9, 1711.

In the year 1688 we find the name of Richard Smith * at the Grasshopper ; but how he came to be

there, no one has been able to ascertain. He may have purchased the business of Buncombe, or

have_ started a fresh one on his own account; or he may have been one of Buncombe's clerks, as in

the ledgers of Blanchard and Child in 1686 an account, which was frequently credited by paymentsfrom Buncombe, was once in that year credited by Richard Smith per Buncombe ;

while in another

account in 1687 a credit by Richard Smith and Co. is seen. However, his name appears manytimes between that date and July 22, 1699, when he died. In 1697 he is associated with his brother-

in-law, Mr. Spinks. We find from the register of burials in St. Mary Woolnoth's that Richard

Smith's sister, Mrs. Jeane Spincke, wife of Elmes Spincke, goldsmith, was interred in September ;

1690; and when Mr. Richard Smith died, on July 22, 1699, both bodies were taken to the Isle of

Wight to be buried. Mr. Richard Smith was one of the goldsmiths authorized by the Treasury in

1694, in connection with several other well-known bankers of that date, to receive contributions for

raising any sum not exceeding ^1,000,000 upon the new duties arising from salt and the new rates of

excise. He is also said to have taken an active part in the restoration of the coinage in 16956.A very fine portrait of Mr. Richard Smith or Smythe hangs in the bank parlour in Lombard Street,

which I am well acquainted with. It has been assigned to Huysman, a rival of Sir Peter Lely, and

was probably restored by J. Hargrave in 1760.

In 1698 we find Andrew Stone described as book-keeper to Mr. Smith at the Grasshopper, and in

1700 he is described as a goldsmith at-the same place. On a draft, dated in 1701, I have seen the

endorsement of George Stone, who was probably related to Andrew. Thomas Martin was also

a clerk to Richard Smith, and in 1703 we find he was in partnership with Andrew Stone.

brings the same to -tone and Martin at the Grasshopper in Lombard Street &c. shall have

reasonable satisfaction."

The issue of pass-books by bankers appears to have been a very early institution. The earliest

reference I have met with is an advertisement in the Daily Cot* \ 7 10, announcing that a book

of accounts of Messrs. Stone and Martin was lost.

Whilst on the subject of advertisements, I cannot refrain from submitting the following, which

appeared in the London Gazette of October 4, 1720, in proof of the custom prevalent at that period

of bankers and other reputable people associating themselves with a man like Jonathan Wild. Several

other instances of the like joint references with other goldsmiths may be quoted :

"Lost, a pocket-book with three exchequer bills, (the numbers and amounts set forth) if offered

for payment, pray stop them and give notice to Thomas and James Martin in Lombard Street, or to

Jonathan Wild, Old Bailey, and you shall have five guineas reward."

In describing the changes that have taken place in the firm from time to time I shall, availing

myself of the permission kindly given me by the author, give all the particulars verbatim from the

paper on the "Grasshopper" by Mr. J. R Martin, which is far more accurate and precise, by reason

of its materials being extracted from the books of the firm, than any statement derived from the

London Directories and other sources could possibly be.

Mr. Thomas Martin carried on the business alone until 1714, when he took into partnership his

brother Janus, who represented the borough of Cambridge in Parliament during several years. Heretired from business some time before 1731.

ording to Mr. Stone's memorandum, it was after the retirement of his brother from business

that James Martin took two partners, Mark and James 1-eaver; and, the former also retiring,

Mr. Richard Stone, son of Andrew Stone, filled his place, a fourth partner, Robert Surman, joining

them. These changes took place between the years 1714 and 1731, for at that date the signatures

of the partners are appended to the yearly balance-sheet in the following order : James Martin,

Robert Surman, James Leaver, Richard Stone ; and their signatures are witnessed by John, the

brother of James Martin.

At the end of the year 1732 James Leaver went out of the business, and James Martin, Robert

Surman, and Richard Stone carried it on until 1744, when, on the death of James Martin, his brother

John took his place. In 1748 the names of the partners were John Martin, Joseph Martin (his son),

rman, and Ebenczer lilackwell. The latter had been a clerk, having witnessed the signatures to

the annual balance-sheet at Christmas, 1732. (His signature, I may add, likewise appears upon an old

cash-note of Messrs. Child in 1731.)

No further change took place until 1760, when John Martin resigned the head partnership in

favour of his son, Joseph, whose younger brother, James, joined the firm at the same time, together

with Richard Stone, jun. In 1762 Richard Stone, sen., died;and at Midsummer in the following

John Porker, who, like Blackwell, had previously been a clerk, was promoted to partnership.

His name appears as witness in 1760; but I have seen it on old cash-notes as early as 1754.The firm continued unchanged until 1770, when (February 10) Porker retired, and John Foote

was taken into partnership. He married Jos. Martin's daughter, but his family is now extinct. In

1774 J ()S - Martin retired, and apparently survived only two years longer, dying in 1776. He repre-

sented the borough of Gatton in Parliament, and subsequently that of Tewkesbury. He was also

Sheriff of London in 1770, and the only member of the family who attained any civic distinction. Hehad been in the banking-house thirty-one years.

The next change in the firm was caused by the retirement of E. Blackwell, after a partnership of

at least thirty-two years, and association with it for not less than forty-eight years. Soon after his

death, in 1783, James Porter, who had witnessed the signatures for the previous eighteen years, was

admitted to partnership ;and the four members, James Martin, Richard Stone, John Foote, and

James Porter, carried on the business for the next ten years, at the end of which period George, son

of Richard Stone, was admitted, and Porter retired.

In 1794 the Grasshopper was rebuilt. In the year 1795 John, son of James Martin, became

second partner, and at the end of the following year John Foote retired, but was succeeded after the

interval of a year by his son George. Richard Stone died in 1801-2, and shortly afterwards, 1804,

the firm was reduced to three members (James Martin, John Martin, and George Stone) by the

accidental drowning in the Thames of George Foote. In 1806 James, third and youngest brother of

John Martin, was made a partner ;and James Martin, his father, retiring in 1808, the business was

carried on by John Martin, George Stone, and James Martin. The above James Martin, sen., died

in 1810. From 1796 to 1807 he represented Tewkesbury in Parliament.

No further change took place until 1823, when James Martin retired, and was succeeded in 1824

by Henry, brother of George Stone. John, eldest son of John Martin, was made a partner in 1826,

as also in 1830 was his third brother James, with George Stone, jun., son of George Stone. Richard

Martin, second brother of John, also was made a partner in 1829, but he died a few months subse-

quently, and his name does not appear in the books.

John Martin, sen., died in 1832, aged fifty-seven years, having been thirty-five years in business,

and George Stone then became head partner. Robert, fourth son of John Martin, sen., became

a partner in 1836, and the six members carried on the business together until 1844, when George

Stone, sen., died, having been upwards of fifty years in business, as did his brother in the following

year. The retirement of George Stone in 1852 left the business entirely in the hands of the three

brothers, John, James, and Robert Martin, the firm becoming once more Martin and Co. after a lapse

of 133 years; and with the exception of the admission in 1861 of Richard Biddulph, and in 1864 of

John Biddulph, sons of Robert Martin, and of the retirement of the latter at Christmas, 1872, the style

has since remained without change.* The partners now are

He was Master of the Mint from about 1580, and in the latter part of Elizabeth's reign he, in

conjunction with his son, held the same office until 1617, when Sir Richard Martin died. Ho was

Lord Mayor in 1589, and kept his mayoralty in one of the houses in Goldsmiths' Row, Cheapside,now called Foster Lane. Howes (ed. 1631, p. 1045), writing about this Row, says :

At this time and for divers years past, the Goldsmith's Roe in Cheapsidc was and is much abated

of her wonted store of goldsmiths, which was the beauty of that famous streete, for the young gold-

smiths, for cheapnesse of dwelling, take their houses in Fleet Street, Holborn, and in the Strand, and

in other streets and suburbs, and in the place goldsmiths' shops were turned to milliners, bookeselkr^,

lincndrapers and others."

Sir Richard Martin's name appears in a roll of presents that were given to Queen Elizabeth on

New Year's Day, 1593.

Masterman and Co.

The earliest record that can be found of this banking-house appears in the London Directory of

in which year Mildred and Walker were at 2, White Hart Court, Lombard Street; having

originated in the firm of Dimsdale, Archer, Hyde, and Co., whose successors they were. In the

following year Mr. Ma-sterman entered the partnership, and the style of the firm became Mildred,

rman, and Walker. Ten years later the firm was Masterman, Peters, Walker, and Mildred. In

1814 the name of Walker disappeared from the list, and another of the name of Masterman appearsas the junior partner. In 1823 they moved to 35, Nicholas Lane; and in 1863 the firm became

rman, Peters, Mildred, Birkbeck, and Co.

This old-established banking business was amalgamated with the Agra and United Service Bankin 1865, under the style of the Agra and Masterman's Bank, and kept on the premises in Nicholas

I-ane. In the following year, during the panic of May, 1866, this institution stopped payment.Uneasiness in the money-market began to be felt in the first week of October, 1865, when the

Bank of England suddenly raised the rate of discount from 4 J to 7 per cent. By October 9 first-class

paper could hardly be discounted even at 10 per cent In December, 1865, a slight drain of gold for

export occurred, and early in 1866 the Bank of England raised its minimum rate of interest to 8 perrent.

trust then became general ; a panic occurred in which Overend, Gurncy, and Co. suspendedpayment ; and in May this stoppage was followed by several joint-stock banks, including the English

Joint Stork, formerly the private bank of Olding and Co., and the Agra and Masterman's Bank just

described.

Mawson, John, and Co.,

At the Golden Hind, in Fleet Street, were goldsmiths at an early date. The first record of them

appears in the London Gazette of September 28, 1672 : "Lost from behind a coach between Royston

and St. Albans, a Portmantle with several things in it, whosoever shall give notice thereof to Mr.

Munson a goldsmith at the Golden Hind over against St. Dunstan's Church in Fleet Street, shall

have a good reward." The name is here, it will be observed, incorrectly spelt ; but that went for little

in those days. I have seen several instances of Mawson's house, in 1675, being styled the Golden

Buck. In the "Little London Directory" of 1677 we find this firm recorded as goldsmiths keeping

running-cashes.

Mayne and Needham,93, Jermyn Street, St. James'. They appear to have started in 1770. The style was Robert

Mayne and Co. in 1774, and Mayne and Graham from 1778-82. This is the last trace of them.

Mead and Co.

John Mead, the founder of this business, was, in 1690, at the Goat, next door to the Fountain

Tavern, in the Strand. In the London Gazette of October i, 1702, appeared an advertisement for a

dun nag lost ; the finder being directed to apply to Mr. Mead, at the above address, for a reward.

I have seen a draft, dated 1704, of Silvanus Sevan's, which is endorsed over to Robert Ffowles

and John Mead, and witnessed by John Strother for them. The fact of the name of Fowles appearing

here leads one to suppose that he was a descendant of Sir Thomas Fowles of the Black Lion, who

died in 1691 ;but information concerning him is wanting between that date and 1704, when he was

in partnership with John Mead. In the year following the name of John Mead alone appears. In

1-708 his customers' signatures are witnessed by "Robert Brighthall, for Mr. John Mead."

The following is from the Flying Post Soy, January 20, 1713 :

"Lately stolen from His Grace the Duke of Buckingham in St. James' Park, a large quilt or

counterpane of a bed of white satin, richly embroidered with gold and colours, as also several pieces

of wrought cabinet plate and a silver sconce. Whoever brings the quilt to Mr. Mead at the Black

Lyon within Temple Bar shall have 5 guineas reward, and one guinea for every piece of plate."

After 1710 John Mead, jun., endorsed the drafts ; and about 1715 Robert Brighthall was taken

into partnership with his master, as I find on a cheque drawn by James Tooker, in October, 1715, in

favour of the Lady Lansdowne, and endorsed by her, the signature was witnessed, and contents of the

cheque received, by"James Travers, for my ma8

. Messrs. Mead and Brighthall."

In 1722 VV. Mead signed for Mead and Co. After that date nothing further concerning them can

be traced.

To Messrs. Mead and Co. must be ascribed the credit of being one of the first bankers on record

who gave pass-books to their customers;as in 1715, Lady Carteret, writing to Mr. Child, says :

"I

should be glad of a Book as I used to have at Mr. Mead's wth an account of all that you have recd.

upon this article."

The " Historical Register" of December 5, 1727, records :

"Dyed Mr. John Mead, an eminent and

rich Banker near Temple Bar."

William Mead does not seem to have been equally prosperous, as the London Gazette of March 12,

1727, announces him to be a bankrupt; his certificate being allowed in the following September. I

Merle, Son, and Co.,

Bankers and gold refiners, of 2, Cox's Court, Little Britain, founded about 1792 by Messrs. Cox,Merle, and Co. In 1818 the name of Cox disappeared, and the firm became William Merle, Son,and Co., which is not found in the list of bankers after 1821.

Merttins, George, 1689.He was at the Peacock, near the Royal Exchange, Cornhill, in 1697, and probably at an earlier

date. He was Lord Mayor in 1724. I have many drafts bearing his name between 1689 and 1715.In 1716 we find he had a partner, the firm being styled Sir George Merttins and John Mitford, or

Midford, as the name was sometimes spelt. The style of the firm afterwards changed upon the retire-

ment of Sir George Merttins and the introduction of Michael Merttins. The Gazette of September 20,

1720, announces the failure of John Mitford and Michael Merttins, goldsmiths and bankers.

Meynell, or Maynell, Francis,Was a great goldsmith established in lombard Street some time prior to 1650. Lord Braybrooke,

in a footnote in Pepys' Diary, gives the following particulars of him :

"Alderman Francis Meynell was a goldsmith and banker in London, and then one of the Sheriffs

(1662). He was the third son of Godfrey Meynell, of Willington, in Derbyshire, and died in 1666;

his father was buried at I,angley, in that county, where their descendants still possess property.

HUJJO Charles Ingram Meynell, of Hoare Cross, Staffordshire, and Temple Newsome, near Leeds,was the late representative of the family."

As Meynell has been mentioned by Pepys in his Diary, I give the following extracts as being of

considerable interest :

" 18 Sept 1662. At noon Sir G. Carteret, Mr. Coventry and I by invitation to dinner to Sheriff

Meynell's, the great money-man ; he, and Alderman Backewell, and much noble and brave company,with the privilege of their rare discourse, which is great content to me above all other things in the

wor!

Again, on January 19, i66J : "Singled out Mr. Coventry into the matted gallery, and there I

told him the complaints I meet every day about our Treasurer's or his people's paying no money l>ut

at the goldsmith-,' shops, where they are forced to pay fifteen, or twenty sometimes, per cent, for their

money, which is a most horrid shame, and that which must not be suffered. Nor is it likely that the

irer, at least, his people will suffer Maynell the goldsmith to go away with ,10,000 per annum,he do now get, by making people pay after this manner for their money."Alderman Meynell, who after the Great Fire settled in Broad Street, died in October, 1666.

Meynell, Isack,A goldsmith keeping running cashes in Lombard Street, was probably a son of Francis Meynell.

Meynell, Isack continued.

His name is found in Edward Backwell's ledgers, circa 1670, keeping a considerable account. Hedied December 4, 1675, ar>d was buried at St. Mary Woolnoth's, in Lombard Street. His probate was

taken out July i, 1676, and Gilbert Whitehall, goldsmith, appeared as his principal creditor.

Michon,Goldsmith, at the Crown and Pearl, in Grafton Street, Soho, who advertised in the London Gazette

of May 30, 1710. The announcement is of so strange a nature to emanate from one of the craft, that

it is well worthy of reproduction. It is as follows :

"May all persons who for themselves or Friends, having red and gray hairs would have them dy'd

or turn'd black, or dark brown colour, will find entire satisfaction, as a great many have already, in the

use of a clear water found out by Mr. Michon, and is to be sold at the said Michon's, goldsmith," etc.

Middleton arid Campbell, 1692. (See COUTTS.)

Middleton, John,Goldsmith, died 1618, and was buried in the church of St. Mary Woolnoth.

Midleton, Simon,Citizen and goldsmith of London, temp, the Commonwealth and Charles II. He lodged a com-

plaint in the Court of Exchequer, Michaelmas, 1662, setting forth that Sir Hugh Middleton of London,

Bart., was seized in fee of a moiety of the "New River;" and about December, 1657, agreed with

Simon Midleton for ,15,100 55. to convey the said moiety to him (Simon) and his heirs (" ExchequerBills and Answers, London and Middlesex, Charles II.," No. 134). These documents fail to state

what the relationship was between Sir Hugh and Simon Midleton, but these facts are particularly

interesting as showing the value of a moiety in the New River Company in those days. The highest

price ever obtained for a share in the New River, which is g'g-th f a moiety, was 122,800, in

August, 1889.

Mildred and Co., 1778-90. (See MASTERMAN.)

Million Bank.Their office was in Nag's Head Court, Gracechurch Street. The following account of the under-

taking I abstract from Lawson's "History of Banking :

"-

"About the latter end of the year 1693 there appeared a scheme for a bank, commonly called the' Million Bank.' It took its rise from a number of London bankers, who lent out money on pledges,

agreeing to purchase tickets in King William's Million Lottery, and thence they were called the

Company of the Million Bank." This bank was finally established, and its affairs vyere conducted by a Board of Directors, consist-

ing of twenty-four members, including a Governor and Deputy-Governor. They subsequently pur-

chased many reversions of the fourteen per cent, annuities, and permitted many proprietors of

annuities to purchase their joint stock, which amounted to 500,000."They were a partnership by deed, enrolled in Chancery, with a joint-stock fund. They at first

divided five per cent, interest, which they subsequently reduced to four per cent. ; and again raised it

to five per cent, at which it continued till the dissolution of the bank."

In the London Gazette of March 29, 1694, the following notice appeared, which doubtless had

reference to this scheme :

" The Right Honble the Lords Commissioners of Their Majesties Treasury have thought fit that

To this list the names of Mr. Richard Hoare and Mr. William Shephard, gold-

smiths, were added on April 9, 1694.

I have seen entries of transactions in their stock in the ledgers and among the old papers belong-

ing to Messrs. Child and Co. The Million Bank existed until the end -if the last century.

Mine Adventurers of England.This was a bubble company got up by Sir Humphrey Ma< kworth, Rut., who has been described

as one of " the cleverest rogues of his time," and who had a considerable interest in the great South

Sea Bubble.

The Company of the " Mine Adventurers" suited about 1707. Professing to make banking their

chief business, they issued all kinds of notes to a large amount, much to the consternation of the

Bank of England. Nor was the alarm confined to the Bank. It affected even the Government, whotook the matter up vigorously with a view to putting a stop to the issue of such an unlimited numberof notes. It ended in the following enactment being passed :

" That during the continuance of the corporation of the Governor and Company of the Bank of1 md, it shall not be lawful for any body politic or corporate whatsoever to borrow, owe, or take

up any sum or sums of money in their bills or notes payable at demand."

This bank was started by Sir F. B. Morland in 1819. He was formerly in partnership with

All three partners then separating, each founded a distinct bank in Pall Mall. Thus the firms of

Morland and Co. and of Hammersley and Co. had their origin in Ransoms. In 1796 Mr. Ham-

mersley left the firm, and its style became Morland, Ransom, and Co. In 1814 they removed to next

door, 56, Pall Mall; and in 1819, when Sir F. B. Morland dissolved partnership with Mr. Ransom,Morland and Co. again moved to 57, Pall Mall, and the style of the firm became Morland, Auriol,

and Co. In 1823 they moved to No. 50, Pall Mall. They were known by this style until 1831,

considerable money panic, they failed.

Morson and Co., Richard,Goldsmiths, at the Anchor and Three Crowns, in Lombard Street, in 1 700. Their name often occurs

upon old cash-notes up to 1736, after which date they are not seen bearing their endorsement. The

first and only time their name appears in the list of bankers is likewise in 1736, when the record is

simply "Richard Morson." In 1721 he advertised to pay three guineas and ask no questions for the

recovery of some notes taken out of the Bristol mail.

Moulden, Thomas,-Goldsmith, 1733, at the Three Crowns, near St. Paul's, Cheapside. It was announced in the

London Gazette of July 10, 1739, that a commission of bankruptcy was awarded against Thomas

Moulden, of Fleet Street. It is very probable that this is the same man.

Munday, Sir John,Goldsmith, who was Mayor in 1522, died in 1537. Mr. Alfred J. Munday, in a letter to the

Somerset County Gazette of May 21, 1887, giving some most interesting details of the wills of Sir John

Munday and Dame Juliana his wife, states that the name has been written in twenty-seven different

forms. By his will, dated July 12, 1537, he left a number of bequests. In addition to legacies to his

family, he left" towards the Reparione of the olde workes of the Cathedral Churche of Sainct Paule

Munden, Stephen de,

Goldsmith, circa 1 295, of Cordwainer Street.

Murray, John,\V.is a banker, at the Crown, in Fleet Street, in 1763. Mr. Noble, in his

" Memorials of TempleBar," states that Mr. Murray, or John McMurray, a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, commenced book-

selling in 1768, when for ,400 he purchased the goodwill of William Sandby, who had been estab-

lished as a bookseller for upwards of forty years at what is now N . ; i, IJeet Street, then known as the

Crown. Mr. Sandby, it may be noted, retired to join the firm of Snow and I )enne, the bankers in the

Strand. It is to be presumed that banking did not satisfy Mr. Murray, as his name does not appearin the list of bankers after the year 1768.

The account given in the biography of John Murray, the publisher, in Curwen's "History of

Booksellers," does not quite agree with this ; the date of his leaving the Navy being set down as later,

viz. in the year 1768 ; the very year, in fact, in which his name ceases to be seen in the list of bankers

in the London Directory. No notice is taken, however, of the fact of his having up till that time,

from 1763 to 1768, been a banker at the sign of the Crown.

In Curwen's book is an interesting letter written by Mr. Murray to his friend Mr. Falconer at

Dover, telling him of the offer he had received from Mr. Sandby, who had entered into company with

Snow and Denne the bankers.

John Murray died in 1793 ;and in 1812 his son moved from Fleet Street to Albemarle Street

Muschamp, Thomas,A goldsmith, who served the office of Sheriff in 1463.

Muschamp, Thomas,Ismiili, at the sign of the Ring with the Ruby, in Lombard Street, was one of Queen Eliza-

beth's goldsmiths.In the Churchwardens' accounts of Chelmsford, 1560, the following entry relating to this man

occurs :

"Receyved of Mr. Mustchampe, goldsmyth, at the signe of the Ryng with the rube in

Lumbarde Street, for a gylt challys with a paten gylt, waying xxiij oz. and a quarter, at v iiijd the

xj" vijVSome ten years ear.ier, in the reign of Edward VI., a goldsmith of the name of Mostian is men-

tioned. It occurs in the "Unpublished Records of the City of London," a paper privately printed byI >r Ivlwin Freshfield. It runs thus :

" In St. Michael's upon Cornhill the parishioners bought ten

chambers in the churchyard with the proceeds of part of their plate, which weighed 422 oz. It was

sold to a goldsmith named Mostian, who lived in Lombard Street, and who bought a good deal of

plate at that time." In all probability these names Muschamp and Mostian are synonymous. Hewas buried in St. Mary Woolnoth's churchyard on May 26, 1578.

Myddclton, Hugh,Afterwards created a baronet by King James I., was a goldsmith at the Golden Inn, in Cheapside,

in i6oS-9 and 1614-15. Eton College is reported to have purchased plate of him. He is said to

have first started in business in Basinghall Street, and was appointed jeweller to the King. Myddeltonwas the originator of the New River Company, one of the greatest achievements of the age. The

King assisted him largely in the expenses of the undertaking, in the success of which he was deeplyinterested The baronetcy was conferred upon him in recognition of his services. He died leavingan ample fortune to his family, and several bequests to charitable institutions. By his will, dated

November 29, 1631, he left to the Goldsmiths' Company one part or share of the New River upon

to such poor men of his name, kindred, or country, as should be free of the company. He was buried

in St. Matthew's, Friday Street, on December 10, 1631.

Neale, James, Pordyce, and Co.

The house of Samuel Roffey, Neale, James, and Fordyce was established as bankers at the signof the Union, opposite the Post Office, in Lombard Street, about the year 1757.

Messrs. Roffey and Neale were originally brewers; and they took into partnership Mr. Alexander

Fordyce, who, according to Mr. Martin, was originally bred a hosier at Aberdeen. Coming to London,he became an out-door clerk to Messrs. Boldero and Co. He is represented to have been a man of

handsome appearance, and possessed of considerable energy, with a flow of natural eloquence anda marked suavity of manner. He no sooner became a partner in the firm than he began to

speculate in the public funds, hazarding large sums.

In 1766, when he speculated largely in East India stock for a rise, they went up even higher than

he anticipated, leaving him in possession of nearly 100,000. He then purchased an estate, gave

great entertainments, and in June, 1770, married Lady Margaret Lindsay, second daughter of the Earl of

Balcarres. His extravagance knew no bounds; and he continued his speculations, which after a time

turned out badly. On one occasion of his speculating for a rise, the stocks fell heavily, and he sus-

tained a loss of about 100,000, when he availed himself Of the private fortune of his partner, who

had hitherto rejoiced in his associate's cleverness and tact. Luck continuing against him, he had

recourse to borrowing from every one he could, until at last the Bank of England and other bankers

refused him further assistance.

He is said by Mr. Martin to have visited a Quaker for the purpose of borrowing money ;but the

worthy man was too shrewd to be taken in. He wittily parried the application with :

" Friend

Fordyce, I have known many people ruined by two dice ; but I will not be ruined by four dice."

The Quaker was right, for shortly afterwards Fordyce absconded, and the firm found themselves

hopelessly bankrupt ; discovery being made that he had put his name to bills in circulation to the

amount of four millions sterling.

On January 2, 1771, John Clark and John Joseph Defoe were executed at Tyburn for robbing

Alexr. Fordyce of his gold watch and some money upon the highway. Defoe is said by the " Annual

Register" to be a grandson of the celebrated author of " Robinson Crusoe."

The style of the firm between 1770 and June 10, 1772, the date upon which they failed, was

Neale, James, Fordyce, and Down, carrying on business at 73, Threadneedle Street One of their

clerks, J. Yallowby, who witnessed signatures of the firm in 1767, was afterwards a junior partner in

the firm of Mason, Currie, and Co., of Cornhill.

The following account, taken from the "Annual Register," of the memorable Monday, June 22,

1772, will serve to give the reader an idea of the prevailing agitation, which forcibly reminds us of

the occurrence of a few years ago :

NEA] LONDON HANKERS. 121

Neale, James, Fordyce, and Co. continued."

It is beyond the power of words to describe "the general consternation of the metropolis at this

instant No event for fifty years has been remembered to give so fatal a blow to trade and public

credit. An universal bankruptcy was expected. The stoppage of almost every banker's house in

London was looked for. The whole City was in an uproar. Many of the first families were in tears.

This melancholy scene began with a rumour that one of the greatest bankers in London had stopped ;

which afterwards proved true. A report at the same time was propagated that an immediate stop of

the greatest must take place. Happily this proved groundless ; the principal merchants assembled,and means were concerted to revive trade and preserve the national credit."

They stopped payment on June 10, 1772, and involved several Scotch banks with whom they

corresponded.The "Annual Register" supplies the annexed items. On July 5, 1772, we read :

" A young manwas found hanging in a cow-house at Falmouth, and his brother was soon after taken up in a fisher-

man's net, drowned. Each of these young men, it is said, had ^2000 in a late banker's hands, the

f which was the cause of this melancholy catastrophe. It is added that a young gentlewoman,that was soon to have been married to one of the brothers, is since dead of a broken heart"

On the 1 6th of the same month it is recorded : "A motion was made before the Barons of the

Exchequer, in Serjeants' Inn Hall, on behalf of the assignees of Messrs. Neal, James, Fordyce, and

Down, for leave to pay into the bank ,30,000, the amount of the extent on Fordyce's estates, as a

security for the Crown, till the legality of the extents is determined, which was accordingly granted,and the extents are to be withdrawn."

Again, on December 23, 1773 : "Last night a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Neale, James,

Fordyce, and Down was held at Guildhall, to declare a dividend, when it appeared that the proofsand claims under the commission amounted 10^181,330 19*. 5</. ; and, the assignees having pro-duced their accounts, a balance remained in their hands of .33,019 15*. id., whereupon a dividend

of 4*. in the pound was ordered to be made."

On April 29, 1774 :

'' The great cause between the assignees of Mr. Fordyce, plaintiffs, and Mr.

Fisher, defendants, was argued in the Court of King's Bench ;when it appeared that the defendant, a

gentleman of character, finding the house distressed, deposited therein (June 6, 1772) the sum of

.7000 for the purpose of saving its character during the holidays, while the bank was shut up ;but

that on the Thursday following, Mr. Fordyce, finding affairs desperate, sent Mr. Fisher two not'

the money, which was lodged with Mr. Harrison in trust, Mr. Fisher being then out of town. Theaction was brought for the recovery of the notes, and the cause stands for judgment next term."

On December 15 in the same year, we read: "Came on at Guildhall an important question,which arose on an issue directed by the Court of Chancery: and Cope and Co. of Amsterdam, andHoare and Co. of London were plaintiffs, and the assignees of Fordyce and Co. defendants. The<|ue.ttion was whether in a. money circulation between Fordyce alone and the plaintiffs a guarantee

given by Fordyce, in the name of the house, bound the house, though in the handwriting of Fordyce,and though the plaintiffs made no attempts to discover whether the house were privy to it or no.

The jury found a verdict for the defendants."

late as April 7, 1795, the following advertisement appeared in the London Gazette .-

" Thec reditors of the F.state of Neale, James, Fordyce, and Co. (who have not already received) may receive

a final dividend of one shilling in the pound any Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday morning, from 10to 12 o'clock, at the Counting House of Messrs. Stonard and Ryland, corner of Savage Gardens,

,r Hill."

In the "Table-talk and Hon-mots of Samuel Foote" we read that at the sale of Fordyce's effects

at Roehampton, in 1772, Foote, who attended almost every day, bought nothing but a pillow. Onasked what particular use he could have for a single pillow

" As a narcotic" said he;

"for if

122 LONDON BANKERS. [NEL NIC

Nelm, Anthony,Goldsmith, between 1697 and 1722, at the Golden Bottle, Ave Mary Lane, Amen Corner.

Nelthorpe, Henry,A goldsmith keeping running-cashes at the Rose, in Lombard Street, in 1675. In the same year,

as we learn from the London Gazette, a Thomas Nelthorpe was likewise doing business as a goldsmithat the same sign.

Nelthorpe, Richard,A goldsmith and banker, on premises in Exchange Alley, Cornhill, afterwards numbered 27, as I

find from an endorsement of an old cheque in 1712, and likewise from an advertisement in the London

Gazette, September 21, 1702, for one of his cash-notes which was lost. An advertisement in the

Daily Courant testifies that he was there in 1713 ;and Sir Roger Hudson had a clerk named William

Nelthorpe in 1714. As this is an uncommon name, these three Nelthorpes may have belonged to

the same business.

Nevett, Thomas, also spelt Knevitt,

Goldsmith, of Lombard Street, between 1622 and 1655. His name appears in a return of a

subsidy levied in Langbourne Ward in 1628-9, also m 1640, when it was included in a list of the

inhabitants of this ward who were able to contribute towards raising a loan of ^200,000 for Charles

I. He evidently was one of those early goldsmiths who kept running-cashes, as we find from the

records that he had moneys in his hands belonging to various persons. In the " Books of the Com-

mittee for the Advance of Money," in the Record Office, under the date of January 20, 1643, we find

that he apparently owed ^8000 as a delinquent. It further appears that he had a brother Edward,

who was married and had ten children, and was imprisoned at Norwich. In 1651, according to the

"Exchequer Bills and Answers, London and Middlesex, Commonwealth," No. 39, he lodged a com-

plaint in the Exchequer against Thomas Spencer ; but the document unfortunately is too faded to

admit of deciphering. Thomas Nevett died in 1655, and was buried in St. Mary Woolnoth's,

Lombard Street.

of St. Clement Danes, between 1711 and 1720, artd probably much earlier. That he issued notes is

proved by his advertising in the Post Boy of June 25, 1713, for one of his lost notes. In 1720 he

had a partner, named Abraham Fowler, the style of the firm then being Nicholls and Fowler. Shortly

after this period Richard Nicholls died, and Abraham Fowler joined James Roche, at the Three

Squirrels, in Fleet Street, under the style of Abraham Fowler and Co. (See GOSLING.)

Nicholson and Co., 1813. (See BROWN, JANSON, AND C<>.)

Nightingale and Co.

This old goldsmith and banking business originated in the firm of Glegg and Vere about the year

1730. In 1733 a Samuel Vere signed on behalf of "Glegg and Vere."

They were established at the White Horse, in Lombard Street, facing Lloyd's Coffee-house, which

subsequently became No. 70. In 1740 the name of Glegg is not met with in the Directory; andMr. Joseph Vere took into partnership with him a Mr. Charles Asgill, who had been a clerk in the

banking-house of \Vm. I'epys and Co. Thus in 1740 the style of the firm became Vere and Asgill;and in 1750, Vere, Asgill, and Co.

On reference to the list of bankers in the "Royal Annual Kalendar" it is seen that in 1765

J. Wickenden, who had witnessed signatures for this firm in 1742, had been taken into the partner-

ship, and that the style of the firm then became Sir Charles Asgill, Nightingale, and \Vickenden.

As to Mr. John Nightingale, I am disposed to believe that he likewise had been a clerk in 1'epys'

bank,* as his name appears upon the old notes. Sir Charles Asgill, who was Alderman of Candlewick

Ward, was elected Ix>rd Mayor in 1757 ; on which occasion, as we learn from Wadmore's "Historyof the Skinners' Company," "a master of Defence and e'ght men were substituted for the eight menwith quarter staffs, and fifty with javelins, a gentleman usher, thirty pensioners with gold chains ;

thirty whifflers with a star, had 3*. each and is. for dinner, and eight sweepers with brooms had the

same." In 1775 John Wickenden left the old firm in which he had been clerk and partner to estab-

lish a new banking-house at 20, Lombard Street, under the style of \Vickenden, Moffat, Kensington,and Holer ; whereupon the firm became Asgill, Nightingale, and Nightingale. In 1789 it assumed

the style of John, William, and George Nightingale.In 1791 the name of John Nightingale disappeared from the firm, and the business was conducted

by William and George Nightingale until 1796, when it became extinct, having probably suspended

payment during the great panic.

William Donaldson, who in 1755 witnessed signatures for Sir Charles Asgill and Co., was doingthe same office for Robert Child, Esq., and Co. ;

in which latter firm he became a partner in 1790.

Olding and Co.

This banking business was established in Cornhill, about the year 1766, by Messrs. Welch and

Rogers. They must have had a sign, but that I have been unable to ascertain. In the year 1770their house was numbered So, Cornhill; and in 1778 the style was Welch, Rogers, and Olding.Mr. Olding, who had been principal clerk for many years, was in 1771 made a partner at a salary.

In 1785 the firm removed to 3, Freeman's Court, Cornhill, it then being Welch, Rogers, Olding, and

Rogers; the last being Samuel Rogers, the poet. In 1799 it became Rogers, Olding, and Rogers ;

and in 1811 they amalgamated with Langston, Towgood, Cazalet, and Co., who appear to have started

in 1777 as Langston, Polhill, Towgood, and Amory, at 29, Clement's Lane. The style of the firm

in 1812 was Rogers, Towgood, and Co., at that address. The head of the firm, Mr. Samuel Rogers,

enjoyed the distinguished reputation of being the Banker-poet. His earliest publication was entitled" An Ode to Superstition and other Poems," and his subsequent writings gave him an eminent placein literature. In 1792 he produced the " Pleasures of Memory," by which he is most widely known ;

"The Voyage of Columbus," in 1812; "Jacqueline," a tale, in 1814 ;

"Human Life," in 1819; and

"Italy," in 1822.

Rogers was more particular as to the quality than as to the quantity of his productions. Hepossessed the power of touching the finer feelings of his readers, and of versifying his enlarged obser-

vation of life and manners with great truth and effect. He was a man of most delicate refinement,

and possessed a fine collection of pictures by the old masters, which he kept at his house, No. 22,

St James* Place.

The testimony of Lord Byron emphasizes the taste and culture of the fastidious bard :

"If you enter his house, his drawing-room, his library you of yourself say :

' This is not the

dwelling of a common mind.' There is not a gem, a coin, a book thrown aside on his chimney-piece,

his sofa, his table, that does not bespeak an almost fastidious elegance in the possessor."

Upon one occasion he saved poor Sheridan from a most uncomfortable dilemma. On May 15,

1816, Sheridan wrote to Rogers from his house in Savile Row: "They are going to put the carpets

out of window, and break into Mrs. S.'s room and take me. For God's sake let me see you." The

result was that Rogers sent him ,150, which arrived in time to save him from the inconvenience of

an arrest.

He expended weeks upon a couplet before he brought it. to the degree of finish exacted by his

fastidious taste. When his friend Lord Ward had abused his confidence by writing, or assisting in

writing, a satiric review of one of the poems, in the progress of which he professed to take the kindest

interest, Rogers, after prolonged meditation, revenged himself by the production of an epigram, which

for keenness of edge may vie with any in the language :

" Ward has no heart, they say ; but I deny it.

He has a heart and gets his speeches by it."

To return from this literary digression to the changes in the style of the firm. It will be seen

upon reference to the Directory that in 1838 it became Rogers, Olding, and Co.

On Sunday, November 24, 1844, an extraordinary robbery took place at their bank.

It was discovered that the strong-room had been opened, and that property in bank notes, gold,

and bills of exchange, amounting to about .50,000, had been abstracted. The notes were princi-

pally large ones, there being no fewer than thirty-six one-thousand-pound notes, and 1200 in gold.

The robbery had been effected without any one in the house knowing anything about it, notwithstand-

ing there was an invalid partner upstairs, besides a clerk on duty as usual. A reward of 3000 was

offered for the recovery of the property, and her Majesty's free pardon to any one giving such infor-

mation as would lead to the capture of the burglars. The numbers and description of the stolen

the notes until a considerable time afterwards, when a parcel was received by the firm, addressed in

a strange hand, containing all the bank notes that had been stolen.

The name of Rogers does not appear in the firm after 1855. In the following year it became

Olding, Sharpe, and Co. ; and in 1862 Olding, Osbome, and Co., who in 1866 transferred their

business to the English Joint Stock Bank, which stopped payment in the same year, during the great

money panic. .

Oriental Bank Corporation,Threadneedlc Street; established in 1851. It stopped payment early in 1884. On July 18,

1884, it was re-formed under the style of the New Oriental Bank Corporation, Limited.

OttoWas one of the earliest goldsmiths of whom we have any record. The name occurs in Doomsday

Book as of one holding lands in Essex and Suffolk;and there appear to have been several successors to

the office of engravers to the Mint of the same name -Otto the elder, in the reign of William I. or II.,

Otto the younger and William Fitz Otto in that of Henry I., and William Fitz Otto in that of John.

Ruding (in his" Annals of the Coinage ") esteems it as probable that the first was the father of Otto

the younger, to whom Henry I., in the early part of his reign, restored the Mystery of the Dies which

his father had held, together with all other his offices and certain lands. These were subsequentlyconfirmed to William Fitz Otto, goldsmith.

In the sixth year of John, states the same authority, William Fitz Otho was commanded by writ

to make the dies for the Royal and Episcopal Mints a* Chichester ; and in the twenty-seventh of

Henry III., he presented before the Barons of the Exchequer Richard Abel, goldsmith, to be maker

and cutter of the money dies.

In the forty ninth of Henry III., Thomas Fitz Otho claimed, in the Court of Exchequer, the

broken dies, as belonging to him of inheritance, and had his claim allowed ; and three years there-

after he presented, before the Barons, Ralph le Blund to the office of Cutter of the King's Dies.

Ruding has a large mass of information concerning the Ottos ; but I am inclined to think I have

quoted sufficient to prove that he was a goldsmith of some importance in his day.

Paddesley, Sir John,A goldsmith, sometimes called Paddisle and Patesley. He was constituted King's Exchanger by

parish of St. Mildred, Poultry, to the Goldsmiths' Company, on condition that they should keep the

same in good repair, and should pay to five poor almsmen of their company is. iJ. each, weekly.

Paltock, John,Was a goldsmith and banker in Fleet Street The earliest record that can be ascertained about

him is upon a cash-note of the year 1712, upon which his signature appears, signing for his master,Mr. Warner. In 1716 the same source shows that he had partners, as his firm was styled JohnPaltock and Co. About 1728 they amalgamated with Thomas Snow, the goldsmith ; and the firm

then became Snow and Paltock.

Pargiter, John,A famous goldsmith of Fleet Street, who seems to have filled the first of the many parish offices

of St. Dunstan's, in 1636. When the Great Plague broke out, he removed his family to Kensington,where two of his sons died, and were buried in August of that year. It appears from a complaint

lodged in the Exchequer that he was one of those who were constituted " Commissioners andGovernors of the Excise and New Impost

" from September 30, 1659, till January i following. His

premises in Fleet Street, which were situated next door but one to Serjeants' Inn Gate, were destroyedin the Great Fire of 1666, and not rebuilt until three years after. One of his sons opened a shop in

St. Clement's parish, where he was buried, in 1688.

"Early with Mr. Moore by coach to Chelsy, to my Lord

Privy Scale's ; but have missed of coming time enough, and have taken up Mr. Pargiter, the gold-

smith, who is the man of the world I do most know, and believe to be a cheating rogue."

In the " Historical Manuscripts Commission," under the head of " MSS. belonging to Mr. G. E.

Frere of Roydon Hall, Norfolk," is a letter dated August 28, 1669, from T. Henshaw to Sir R. Paston :

"Pargetor, the goldsmith, has been detected to have bought clippings of coined silver, and to have

held correspondence with those kind of rogues : he has put in bail of ,30,000, to answer at the

Sessions, and his estate is already begged at adventure." This seems to bear out the opinion that

Pepys held of him in 1661.

Partridge, John,Was at the Wheatsheaf, in Cheapside, from 1691 to 1697. The following advertisement in the

London Gazette of July 15, 1697, speaks for his respectability and honesty :

" Wheareas about 3 years

mend, by a Person who is supposed to be dead ; The Owner thereof discovering the marks, may have

it again at the Place abovesaid."

smith, at his lodgings at the Cock in Stocks Market, London, are desired to fetch them away before

the i6th day of August next, or they will be disposed of."

Paterson, Thomas.All that can be ascertained of this man is derived from an advertisement in 1714, in which it is

stated that an Exchequer note was lost, and whoever would bring it to Thomas Paterson, banker, at

the foot of the Hay-market, shall have five guineas reward, and no questions asked.

Percefull, Peter, and Stephen Evans, or Evance,Were goldsmiths at the Black Boy, in Lombard Street (now No. 29), as recorded by the "

Little

London Directory" of 1677. This name is an example of the phonetic spelling adopted in those

days, as upon a draft dated 1 688, endorsed over to Evans and Percivall, is signed Peter Percivall and

Co., which would hardly be accepted as a regular endorsement in these days. Sir Stephen Evance

was one of the goldsmiths appointed by the Treasury to receive contributions for raising one million

of -money, jointly with several others, upon the new duty upon salt and the new rates of excise, in

April, 1694. He succeeded Sir Francis Child as jeweller to the King on May 20, 1697. Shortly

after this Peter Percevall left the firm, as in the London Gazette of October 5, 1702, we read that one

of their cash-notes were lost;a reward being offered for its recovery and return to Sir Stephen

Evance and William Hales, goldsmiths, in Lombard Street. In an advertisement of 1708 Evans and

Hales were, for the first time, styled bankers. They stopped payment in 1721.

Pinckney, Henry,Sometimes called Major Pinckney, carried on business as a goldsmith at the Three Squirrels, over

against St. Dunstan's Church. The first record of him occurs in or about the year 1650. He is

mentioned in Boyne as having issued a farthing token. Pepys, on December i, 1660, writes :

" Mr.

Shepley and I went into London, and calling upon Mr. Pinckney, the goldsmith, he took us to a

taverne, and gave us a pint of wine." In his" Memorials of Temple Bar," Mr. Noble states that,

the Great Fire having destroyed the house, the terms of rebuilding were settled by the Commissioners

in April, 1667 ; and in the marking out, it appears that"Major Pinckney's" property consisted of

four houses leading on the south frontage" to the Temple Garden ;

"probably the churchyard.

Again, from the occurrence in an advertisement in July, 1671, of the address of William Pinckney,

goldsmith, at the Golden Dragon, near the Inner Temple Gate, the same able authority infers that it

was the house adjoining the Three Squirrels, which subsequently became No. 19, Fleet Street Thename of William Pincknye (Sarah Pinckney, of St. Dunstan's, London, the relict of William Pinckney,died in 1681, and mentioned in her will Philip and Ismael Pinckney ') appears in the ledgers of

Messrs. Blanchard and Child in 1663, as keeping an account with them, as all the principal goldsmithsdid for the sake of convenience.

In 1680, we learn by an advertisement in the London Gazette, he was at the Golden Dragon, in

Fleet Street ; but the next lime his name is mentioned December, 1697 we find he has moved to

the Sun, without Temple Bar, as will be shown by the following advertisement from the same source,

dated April 3, 1704 :

" Lost some time since, betwixt Temple Bar and Ludgate, a malt ticket,

No. 601438. Whoever brings the said ticket to Mr. Philip Pinkney, goldsmith, at the Sun, without

Temple Bar, shall have 10* reward. It is of no use to any one but the owner, payment being

stopt at the Exchequer."

In 1705 Mr. Pinckney's name again occurs in the London Gazette of

July 19, 23, in an advertisement of the loss of a bay gelding.

The name of Philip Pinckney I have met with as an endorsement to a bank note in 1712 ; and

a draft drawn upon Sir Francis Child by the Earl of Gainsborough, dated "y* 12 May, 1705," runs

as follows :

"SIR,"

I desire you to pay unto Mr. Pinckney, goldsmith, three days after sight of this, the

summe of forty-one pounds fourteen shillings."

This interesting old draft is endorsed by"P. Pinckney ;

" and it is the last item that has been

observed of the Pinckneys. The London Gazette of May 17, 1708, announces a meeting of his

creditors.

Marlar, Lascelles, Pell, and Down appear by the Directory to have started as bankers in 1773,and to have taken No. 10, Lombard Street, the premises then just vacated by Ladbroke and Co., whohad gone to Bank Buildings. They did not, however, remain long in Lombard Street, as in 1776

they were located at i, Bartholomew Lane. In 1777 Mr. Lascelles went out of the firm, and in 1782it comprised only Down and Pell. In 1785 it became Down, Thornton, and Free; and in 1793 theytook in Mr. Cornwall as junior partner. The style of the firm continued unaltered until 1816, whenthe London Directory gives it as Pole, Thornton, Free, Down, and Scott

;and this was the style until

December 12, 1825, when they stopped payment. The following statement concerning the failure of

this house I excerpt from Lawson's "History of Banking :"

"The information furnished by Mr. Richards, the Deputy Governor of the Bank, to the Committee

of the House of Commons, is so graphically descriptive of the state of London at this period that we

cannot omit giving it a place in our history. It is taken from the shorthand writer's notes, and was

nearly in the following words :

" 'I think,' says Mr. Richards, 'it must have been in the autumn of 1825 that the Bank began

very seriously to contemplate what would be the result of the speculations and of various circum-

stances that were going forward. They increased in October and November, when there continued

to be a very great demand for gold, which, I think, began about April ; and, I believe, it advanced

down to the first Saturday in December. Not only the Bank, but, I belieye, every man's mind con-

nected with the City was in an extreme state of excitement and alarm. I think I can recollect, in the

first Saturday in December, having come home after a very weary and anxious day from the Bank,

receiving a visit from two members of this committee, and one of our bankers, at my own house,

stating a difficulty in which a banking-house near to the Bank was placed." '

I will not assert it, but I believe they had gone so far as to take care of the clearing of that

house that evening, so as that it might fulfil its engagements. The object of that visit was to ascer-

tain what would be my views upon the subject. I was called upon because the Governor was particu-

larly connected with the house of Pole and Co. by marriage and other circumstances of relationship." ' After speaking upon the subject for some time, I was pretty sure that I could answer for the

firmness of the Bank ; and I ventured to encourage these gentlemen to hope that, upon anything like

a fair statement, the Bank would not let this concern fall through." '

It was agreed that upon the following morning (Sunday) we should meet as many directors as I

could get together, with the three gentlemen who had called upon me, at the house of one of them,

and that in the mean time some eminent merchants, friends of the house, should also be called to the

meeting to assist with their opinion. We so met ; and, after hearing all the facts, which were collected

in the first instance by the bankers and the merchants present, the directors authorized their Chair to

say that assistance should not be wanting. It was agreed that ,300,000 should be placed at the dis-

posal of Pole and Co. the next morning, for which the Bank was to receive, and did receive, as

securities, a number of bills of exchange and notes of hand ; and, over and above, a mortgage on Sir

Peter Pole's property, which was to ride over the whole."'

They fought it through till Thursday or Friday pretty manfully, and up to Saturday evening,

when their position was such that, without the assistance of the same eminent individuals who had

taken part before, the clearing would not have gone right. Sunday passed, and on Monday morningthe storm began ; and till Saturday night it raged with an intensity that it is impossible for me to

describe. On Saturday night it had somewhat abated. The Bank hrl taken a firm and deliberate

resolution to make common cause with the country as far as their humble efforts would go. In the

following week things began to get a little more steady ; and, by the 24th, what with the one-poundnotes which had gone out, and other things, people began to be satisfied ;

and then it was for the first

time in a fortnight that those who had been busied in that terrible scene could recollect that they had

families who had some claim upon their attention. It happened to me not to see my children for that

week.'"

Forty-four country banks were connected with this firm.

Portman, John,Was a goldsmith in Lombard Street, prior to 1644, when his name appears in the Parish Register

of St. Mary \Voolnoth, and for many years afterwards. His name occurs in June 22, 1670, in one of

Alderman Edward Back well's ledgers at Child's, where I have seen the following entry in the account

of Henry, Earl of St. Albans :

interest of ^4605 13*. His son, George Portman, also a goldsmith, died in 1672. His name does

not occur in the list of goldsmiths for 1677 ; but he continued his trade, as we learn from the Assigna-

tion Books (Record Office) that he transferred several large sums of money at the Exchequer, in 1678,

into private names. John Portman died in the Fleet Prison, and was buried in St. Mary Woolnoth's

on December 2, 1683.

Praeds and Co.,

189, Fleet Street. This business was started by Mr. Praed in London, in 1803. The family had

long been settled as bankers at Truro, in Cornwall; indeed, they are said to have been noted as

early as the sixteenth century.

James Praed was Sheriff of the county in 1654, and M.P. for St. Ives in 1661.

In 1717 the family became extinct by the death of Mr. William Praed, who left all his propertyto William Mackworth, who assumed the name of Praed. His grandson, William, married the

daughter and heiress of Barneby Backwell, Esq., of Tyringham, Bucks, and great-granddaughter of

Sir Francis Child.

The house Mr. William Praed took for his bank was very celebrated, being known as the WaxWork depot of Mrs. Salmon, who may be said to have been the Madame Tussaud of the time. In

his " Memorials of Temple Bar," Mr. Noble writes :

" In the reign of Queen Anne, at the Golden

Salmon in St. Martin's, near Aldersgate, was to be seen the Royal Court of England, 104 figures, all

made by Mrs. Salmon,' who teaches the full art, and sells all sorts of moulds and glass eyes.' Also

the famous Temple of Diana, etc., by Mrs. Salmon, who is removed from St. Martin le Grand to the

Golden Salmon at Temple Bar, near St. Dunstan's Church, which is more convenient for the quality's

coaches to stand unmolested." She subsequently occupied 189, Fleet Street, until it was taken byMr. Praed, when it was pulled down, and the present bank built, in 1802, from designs by Sir JohnSoane.

In 1805 the Directory shows that the partners in the firm were Praed, Digby, Box, Babbage, and

Co. In 1807 it was Praed, Digby, Box, Barnard, and Newcombe. Their address was 71, Fleet

Street, in 1810, when the name of Mackworth is to be observed as that of the second partner. Praed,

Mackworth, ard Newcombe continued to be the style of the firm until 1818, when Mr. Vere Fane

was admitted as junior partner; and no further change took place until 1836, when the name of

Newcombe disappeared, and the firm became Praed, Mackworth, Fane, and Praed. 1838 was the

last year that Mr. Mackworth's name was associated with the firm. In the next year it consisted of

William Tyringham Praed, Vere Fane, Bulkley John Mackworth Praed, and Patrick Johnson.Since 1850 the style of the firm has been Praeds and Co. It now consists of the following

partners :

Charles Tyringham Praed.

Herbert Bulkley Praed.

Mackworth Bulkley Praed.

The following curious account, published in the Examiner of January 16, 1814, serves as an

illustration of the risks bankers ran in those days, by sending valuable parcels by coaches :

" The Buckingham stage-coach has been in the practice of carrying several bankers' parcels, for a

number of years past, to and from London ; and, though the greatest precautions were usually taken,

it has been lately robbed in a very extraordinary manner. The coach brought a parcel from the

Aylesbury Bank, containing bills and notes to a considerable amount, supposed to be several

thousands, directed to Messrs. Praeds, in Fleet Street. It was put into the strong box, made for

conveying valuable parcels, which was locked and strapped, and the coachman put the key into his

pocket as usual, and the box was placed under him. When he got to the Green Man and Still, in

Oxford Street, he opened the box to take out another valuable parcel, directed to another banker, at

which time the parcel from the Aylesbury Bank to Messrs. Praeds was safe. The coach stopped

again opposite the Bell and Crown Inn, where a passenger left the coach, and took two parcels with

him out of the front boot, at which time the coachman had every reason to believe that the box was

safe. The coach did not stop again until it got to the King's Arms Inn, where it puts up." The coachman went into the office to settle his way bill and accounts, which engaged him about

ten minutes;and in the mean time the coach was turned round, as usual, by a man employed in the

yard. The coachman then went to unlock the box to take out the parcel directed to Messrs. Praeds,

when he discovered that the top of the box had been forced off, and the parcel taken away. The top

of the box could not then be found, but on Monday morning it was found near the coach in the yard.The business was investigated at Bow Street, but no person was in custody. One Rodney has since

been committed."

Prescott, Cave, Buxton, Loder, and Co.

This banking house was established in Threadneedle Street, at the house afterwards numbered 57,

on January i, 1766, by Messrs. George Prescott, Andrew Grote, William Culverden, and JohnHollingsworth, under the style of Prescott, Grote, and Co. For this 'information I am indebted to

the courtesy of the present firm.

The following changes I have gleaned from the various Directories. In 1778 they were located

at 62, Threadneedle Street; and in 1799 the name of Culverden does not appear, the firm standingas Prescott, Grote, and Hollingsworth. In 1801 it was Prescott, Grote, and Prescott; and in 1820,

Grote, Prescott, and Grote; which continued to be the style of the firm until 1838, when the elder

Mr. Grote retired, and three new partners were admitted. It then stood thus : Prescott, Grote,

Ames, Baillie, and Grote. In the following year the name of Cave was substituted for Baillie ;and

the published lists for the year 1848 no longer contain that of Ames, which had been associated

with the firm for the past ten years. In that year the style became Prescott, Grote, Cave, and Cave.

Mr. Joseph Grote retired December 31, 1874, when the style became Prescott, Cave, Foster,

Buxton, Loder, and Co. Upon the retirement of Mr. W. K. Foster on June 30, 1875, the style became

Price, Sir C., and Co.

The well-known banking business of Sir Charles Price, Marryat, and Co. originated in the bank

of Robert and Thomas Harrison, established at 77, Ironmonger Lane, about the year 1785. In

1788 they were located at i, Mansion House Street

In 1794 the name of Harrison and Co. is not seen in the list of hankers ; but I observe that Sir

James Sanderson, Brenchley, Stacey, Parker, and Newman were carrying on banking business at i,

Mansion House Street

In 1791 Sir James Sanderson and Mr. Brenchley were partners in a banking-house, doingbusiness under the style of Sanderson and Co., in Southwark. They dissolved partnership in 1794.

In 1796 the style of the firm was Sanderson, Harrison, Prickett, and Newman. In 1799 Sir

James Sanderson's name drops out of the list, the style then being Harrison and Co. In 1807 it

was Harrison, Kay, and Chapman ;and in 1810 Harrisons, Price, Kay, and Chapman. Sir Charles

I'nce was Lord Mayor in 1802. In 1814, the name of Harrison disappearing from the firm, it

became Sir Charles Price, Bart, Sir William Kay, Bart, Charles Price, junior, and George Chapman.In 1817 it was Sir C. Price, Kay, and Coleman ;

and in 1819 Marryat, Price, Kay, and Chapman.In 1823 Joseph Marryat, M.P., Sir W. Kay, Sir C. Price, and J. Coleman were conducting the busi-

ness. In 1825 Sir William Kay became head partner, with Sir C. Price, Joseph Marryat, and J.

Coleman. Mr. Marryat is well known as having been a large collector of porcelain, and as the

author of a valuable book on Pottery and Porcelain.

Price, Sir C., and Co. continued.

In 1833 the style of the firm became Price, Marryat, and Co. ;and in 1835 they moved from

Mansion-house Street to King William Street, where they remained under the same style until 1866,

when they stopped payment.

Price, Heneage,Was a goldsmith carrying on his trade in 1681 at the Golden Lion, without Temple Bar, on the

south side of the Strand. He was one of the numerous family of John Price, who possessed landed

property in Monmouthshire, by his wife Mary, one of the daughters and co-heiresses of William

Greene, of East Barnet. Heneage Price was born there and baptized on September 17, 1659. TheRev. F. C. Cass informs me that an old Vestry minute-book records a resolution that a legacy to the

parish of Monken Hadley, of ^100 bequeathed by the Right Hon. Henry Coventry, should be

placed in the hands of Mr. Heneage Price, goldsmith, in the Strand, nigh Temple-barr. On May 22,

1690, he was appointed treasurer for receiving contribution money of one Richard Master, a bank-

rupt; and the London Gazette of November 14, 1706, records that he himself was a bankrupt. Hedied and was buried at East Barnet on August 3, 1709.

Price, Thomas,Was a goldsmith. The first record we have of him is furnished by the London Gazette of May 10,

1675, where the following advertisement is to be seen : "Lost old silver seal and Queen Elizabeth's

sixpence tyed to it with a red narrow satin ribbon the arms of the seal is a cross flory in each

Dexter, and three cross crosslets in each sinister quarter, with mantling and a buck couchant for the

crest Whoever will bring the same to Mr. Thomas Price, goldsmith, at the Goat in Lumbard Street,

shall have a very good reward." He was one of those keeping running cashes in 1677, as the "Little

London Directory" shows he was at the Goat, in Lumbard Street.

I have met with his name on a draft drawn upon Child and Rogers in 1684 by one Will Barber,

who writes :

"Pray pay to Mr. Thomas Price, goldsmith, Lumber Streete, London, two hundred

pounds." It is endorsed by him.

A few years afterwards, he appears to have taken into partnership with him one Samuel Price, as

in the London Gazette of November 4, 1686, we are informed that a meeting of the creditors of

Thomas and Samuel Price of London, goldsmiths, was convened for the loth of that month. Their

assignees give notice in the Gazette of December, 1715, and many weeks afterwards, that they have

recovered some property of considerable value, and desire the creditors to send in their names with a

view to distribution.

The Public Record Office enables us to learn somewhat-of this member of the goldsmith's craft.

The following short abstract is made of very lengthy proceedings instituted in the Court of Exchequer.In "Exchequer Bills and Answers, London and Middlesex, William III.," No. 562, Trinity Term,

1694, we read the complaint of the Attorney-General, on behalf of the King and Queen, against

"Thomas Price of London, goldsmith, formerly using the trade of a banker, and thereby receiving

great sums of money of divers persons who paid the same into his hands." Among those who so

entrusted him was his brother-in-law, John Price, who was Receiver-General for James II. in Ireland,

and who, in that official capacity, had paid to Thomas Price large sums as " monies belonging to the

late King James the Second." A special commission was opened on December 22, to inquire what

sum really was thus due by John Price to James II.; whereby it was found that Thomas Price had

received the sum of ^10,602 6s. gd. This was seized on behalf of the King, and Thomas Price was

Remington and Co.

The banking business of Messrs. Remington, Stephenson, Remington, and Toulmin originated at

the Unicom, in Lombard Street, in the firm of Knight and Jackson. About the year 1729 they appearto have been doing a considerable business ; we may therefore assume for them a greater antiquity.

The following is an example of the curious business undertaken by some of the bankers in the

early days. It is extracted from the London Gaztttc of March 22, 1735 :

" The Nobility, Gentry and others who have viewed the original Picture of Cupid and Venus byMichael Angelo Buonaroti at Essex House, Essex Street, Strand, may receive their Tickets numbered,checked and filled up for Saturday the 29 March next at Messrs. Knight and Jackson, Bankers, Lom-bard Street, on paying 10 guineas per ticket for the same.

"N.B. If the 50 tickets are not taken away by the 28th of the said March we will return the

money paid on that account, the Monday following on delivery up of the tickets given by us." This

notice was signed"Knight and Jackson."

Their signatures are seen upon a large number of old drafts between 1729 and 1750, in which

latter year the firm is represented by W. Hoggart, who, as we shall see, subsequently became a

partner. About 1763 the firm was styled Knight, Batson, and Co., who were located in Lombard

Street, facing Lloyd's. The house was numbered 69 in r77o.

In 1766 the Directory shows that the firm was Batson, Stephenson, and Hoggart. Rowland

Stephenson was a clerk signing for Martins in 1752.In 1785 the name of Hoggart is not seen in the list, but it is succeeded by the names of two new

partners ; thus, the firm in that year was Batson, Stephenson, Grase, and Glover. R. Glover was a

clerk signing for Knight, Batson, and Co. In 1794 it was Stephenson, Batson, Remington, and Smith;and from 1824 to 1828 it was Remington, Stephenson, Remington, and Toulmin.

Mr. Lawson, in his "History of Banking," states that early in December, 1828, some unfavourable

reports had got abroad respecting the credit of Messrs. Remington and Co., of Lombard Street,

bankers, in consequence of which many customers removed their accounts from them.

To counteract these rumours and to allay all apprehensions, five of the principal bankers in

Ix>ndon investigated the affairs of the bank, with the condition of which they were so well satisfied

that each of them advanced ,20,000 on such securities as they found the bank to possess. Theyfurther made a declaration of their entire conviction of the solvency of the house, and went'so far as

to induce many parties who had withdrawn their accounts to return them.

This condition of things, however, did not last long, as on December 27, 1828, it was reported

138 LONDON BANKERS. [KEM

Remington and Co. continued.

that Mr. Rowland Stephenson, the active partner, had absconded with a large sum of money. Hewas M.P. for Leominster, and Treasurer of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, etc., etc. The effect of this

serious event was that they were obliged to suspend payment ; a step that caused the utmost con-

sternation in the City. It transpired that Mr. Stephenson had been addicted to gambling, and that

his defalcations extended to 200,000. He made off with 70,000 in Exchequer bills belonging to

various customers of the bank.

The mode adopted by Stephenson to deceive his partners with respect to the various deposits of

Exchequer bills was simple enough. He had sealed packets with the names and addresses of the

depositors and the amount of Exchequer bills endorsed thereon;so that the bankers, who investigated

the affairs of the bank, concluding that the actual securities were inclosed in the envelopes, did not

examine them further.

Rowland Stephenson was charged with bankruptcy and embezzlement, and a warrant was issued

for the apprehension of himself and of his clerk, Lloyd, with a reward of 1000 for the former, and

of 300 for the latter.

After various adventures they succeeded in getting to Clovelly, where they met with a vessel

bound for Savannah.

On January 16, 1829, a second meeting of creditors was held in Basinghall Street, when the total

amount of debts was estimated at about .425,551 los. $d., the assets being about 344,385.Messrs. Remingtons declared a dividend on June 24, 1829, of seven shillings in the pound ;

the separate estates of Remington and Toulmin yielding twenty shillings, and of Stephenson eighteen

pence in the pound.The News of January 4, 1829, furnishes the following particulars of the failure, and of the abscond-

ing of Mr. Rowland Stephenson :

" We recollect no event in the commercial world since the time of Faunileroy, (and his case, bad

as it was, must be allowed to be comparatively trifling), which has made so much impression on the

public mind as the absconding of Mr. Roivland Stephenson, the most efficient partner in the Bankingfirm of Remington, Stephenson, Remington, and Toulmin. Of this affair and the singular circumstances

attending it, we shall endeavour to give as succinct an account as possible."

It now turns out that Mr. Stephenson, contrary to his usual custom, absented himself from the

Banking-house the whole of Friday se'nnight. Under the difficulties the house then laboured, we

rather wonder this unusual circumstance did not excite on the part of the other members of the firm,

some suspicion and inquiry ; but the truth is, there are so many things to wonder at in this affair, that

we have no inclination to dwell on this single instance of credulous supineness. Anxious inquiries

were made by different persons at the Banking-house for him all that day, but he came not. Howfar his partners would have continued to expect him without seeking after him, we know not for, on

the Saturday, they were informed by a gentleman that Mr. Stephenson had left his house in St. Bar-

tholomew's Hospital (of which establishment he was Treasurer), at a very early hour that morning.The fact is, that Mr. Stephenson had made an appointment with a professional gentleman to execute

some mortgage deeds at 9 o'clock on Saturday morning ; and it was the calling of this gentleman at

that hour, which caused the discovery of Mr. Stephenson's absence. When this intelligence was

known at the Banking-house, although its importance was very considerably enhanced by the simul-

taneous absence of a Mr. Lloyd, one of the clerks, yet it does not appear that the smallest idea of

criminality was attached to Mr. Stephenson's conduct, by any of his confiding partners. They went

on at the Banking-house, paying and receiving as usual;and it was not until the afternoon of Saturday,

when Mr. Remington's cheque on the Bank of England for a sum far within the claim of the house,

as stated in their books, was returned unpaid, that suspicion began to be excited, and the necessity of

stopping payment fully ascertained. All was now alarm and confusion; and the detection of one

villainous act on the part of the absentee quickly led to that of another. It was now discovered that

all the deposits, such as Exchequer-bills, bonds of foreign stock, &c., &c., which had been lodged in

the house by customers, as in a place of security, were withdrawn that false accounts had been kept ;

and a system of deception as to the real state of the funds of the establishment, practised and carried

on for many years. However ingeniously this deceptive system may have been concocted, aided as

it was by a clerk in the house, whom Mr. Stephenson had corrupted, great blame manifestly attaches

to the other partners. Had they used even the common vigilance of commercial men, many things

must have occurred long ago to create suspicion as to Mr. Stephenson's criminality. It is not, how-

ever, on them alone that a great weight of deserved censure rests. // of the most eminent of the

London Bankers undertook the beginning of the week, in which the house stopped, to examine into

its concerns with a view either of affording the firm pecuniary aid, or of recommending them to suspendtheir payments. These precious examiners, with the fate of Fauntleroy fresh in their recollection, never

seem to have suspected that a banker could, by any possibility, be a villain they therefore took all

the accounts for genuine, which were presented to them. A balance of cash, made to amount, on

paper, as in the house, to many thousand pounds, they passed without asking to see the moneymuch less counting it : they saw, on paper, that the house had a credit account with the Bank of

England of ,44,000 not one of them had the indelicacy to cross over to the Bank, and ask the

question, whether such balance was correct?* in fine, they swallowed all which was placed before

them; and the result of this farcical investigation was, that the house was by them declared perfectly

solvent, and that the embarrassments under which it laboured were only of a temporary nature. This

was not all : the five wiseacres advanced (on good security) ,20,000 each to sustain the sinking firm.

The consequence of this gullibility on the part of these gentlemen, was, a reaction in favour of the

house : many who had money there allowed it to remain ; and others who had drawn their balances

out, reinstated them. Much of the private misery attending this failure, and absconding, has been

produced by the want of due vigilance on the part of this delegation of Bankers. We admit that, to

inquire whether the deposits remained in the iron chests around them, would have been tantamount

to have asked the firm 'Have you been swindlers, or thieves?' but in their deputed characters as

investigators, they should have done more than merely look at the paper balances laid before them.

They should have known them to have been correct" We now come to the extent of the robberies perpetrated by the fugitive. These, as far as they

are known, for fresh instances of fraud are every hour being discovered, exceed in amount three

hundred thousandpounds I .' They have been particularized as follow :

Taken by Mr. S. in cash and bank notes a short time before he absconded (some say on

the evening of the Friday he was first absent) ... ... ... ... .58,000!

Exchequer-bills deposited by the London Life Assoeiatian Company ... ... 39,000J

Ditto, left as deposit by Ex-Sheriff Parkins, who is in America ... ... ... 15,000I >itto, left as deposit by a Portuguese gentleman of the name of Braga ... ... 5.000I >itto, deposited by the assignees of a Bankrupt's estate ... ... ... ... 14,000

Amount of 4 per cents, belonging to individuals who had given the house powers to sell 40,000

Amount of consols ditto, ditto... ... ... ... ... ... ... 26,000

Amount of Brazilian Bonds ditto, ditto ... ... ... ... ... 60,000

Long Annuities ditto ... ... ... ... 3,500

" In addition to the above, we could almost fill our paper with the details of the lesser depredations

of this culprit A very few days before his absconding, he borrowed .500 from a gentleman, a

* The actual balance at the bank, it ii laid, was only /4OOO, but by the addition of a figure of 4, was made to appear

44,000. On this latter sum Mr. Remington in his emergency drew: and it was only on the return of his chequedishonoured, that he suspected the accuracy of his own accounts.

t It seems that, with a daring kind of effrontery, Mr. Stephenson drew and left behind him a cheque on the house

for this sum ; as if the house owed him so much on his private account.

t This establishment have also, unfortunately, a cash balance in the house in their favour to the amount of 12,000caused by some insurances they were about to pay on the life of the late Sir Htnry Torrent.

private friend, who, he must at the time have known, never would have been repaid. All Rumford,in the neighbourhood of which town Marshall* his principal residence was, rings of his villainies.

He is stated to have bought several small estates around him, and to have managed to get the title

deeds, and to persuade the proprietors to leave the money with him as a banker. Our informant

says that a miller retired from trade had ^6000 in the funds, which was sold through Stephenson,and the money lodged with him at 5 per cent, interest; that the poor tradesmen of Rumford are

in a state of great distress, Mr. Stephenson owing ^600 to his butcher, ^400 to his baker, and to

several of the poorer classes more or less, according to their circumstances or trades. In fine, no

expedient where raising money was in question seems to have been too low for Stephenson's adoption.A number of bills, it is said, are at present in circulation, drawn upon Stephenson by some day-

labourer, or fellow altogether destitute of property, which, with a name upon it so well known, have

been readily discounted, and the amount, without doubt, has passed into Stephenson's hands. Ofthese bills not a shilling of course will be paid.

"We now come in the course of detail, to the means which have been adopted to apprehend this

culprit, and these seem to have been bottomed on the same scale of activity as those which the five

examining Bankers adopted to detect his practises in the Banking-house. It was not until Wednesdaylast, the fifth day after his absconding, that the Committee of Bankers, who are so ready in prose-

cuting every poor wretch who commits the smallest forgery on any of their fellows, even to the

gallows,* offered any reward for Stephenson's capture, and then it was so inadequate in amount to

the case (only three hundred pounds or the principal, and one hundred for Lloyd the clerk) that it

was laughed at. Resolved at length to do the liberal thing, the same parties on Thursday, put forth

bills offering one thousand founds for the apprehending of Stephenson, and three hundred pounds for

that of the clerk. Warrants were also obtained from the Lord Mayor, and backed by the Middlesex

Magistrates on Thursday. Now, had these steps been taken earlier, there is little doubt that both

the runaways would ere now have been in custody. It seems that Stephenson, after dining on Fridaywith a well-known vocalist at the west end of the town, returned to his house in St. Bartholomew's

Hospital. About four o'clock on Saturday morning, he left that place in his own carriage, a brown

chariot with a pair of grey horses, and was driven to the neighbourhood of the Regent's Park. There

it is said he awaited the arrival of Lloyd (the clerk). Lloyd slept at the Banking-house, and is sup-

posed to have made up a parcel of notes and securities after the shutting of the house on Friday

evening. Soon after midnight he was heard to go down stairs, and to leave the house. He is

supposed then to have joined Mr. Stephenson, and to have proceeded to Portsmouth, from whence

they crossed to the Isle of Wight,- and embarked on board the Cambrian packet for New York, which

was said to have sailed on Friday, but which it is suspected remained off the island till Stephensonarrived. His carriage conveyed him the first stage, but did not return for some days, in consequence,

probably, of directions given by Mr. Stephenson, to prevent the route he had taken from being

traced. The coachman left the stables as soon as he had brought back the carriage and horses, and

has not been seen since. It was great negligence on the part of those employed to look after

Stephenson that his stables were not watched the more especially, as it was soon ascertained that he

had left town in his own carriage. However, as to the embarkation, we do not believe a word of it;

and we must have positive and direct evidence before we can entertain the idea that he is out of the

country. That he did not embark in the Cambrian is ascertained, as the officers were on the spot,

prior to the sailing of that vessel. The report that he has escaped by a New York Liverpool packet

ship is also without foundation not one has sailed since his absconding. We repeat, we must have

good evidence to the contrary before we can believe he has left the country. America is his only

refuge, for in any part of the Continent he would be as amenable to British justice as in Lombard

Street.

*It is a singular circumstance that a few years ago a man who had committed a forgery on the house of Messrs.

Remington and Co., was prosecuted by the Committee, found guilty, and eventually hanged.

REM] LONDON BANKERS, 141

Remington and Co. continued." Several hair-breadth escapes from losses hav*e mixed themselves up with the disastrous conse-

quences of this event On the failure of Fryt and Chapman, a deposit of ,14,000 in Exchequer-

lielonging to one of the Foreign Mining Associations, was removed by the Secretary into the

custody of Remington and Co., which coming to the knowledge of one of the directors, a man of

some sagacity, he ordered the Exchequer-bills to be removed immediately into the Bank of England,where they were lodged in safe custody only a few days before the house stopped. Mr. Stephenson's

securities, as Treasurer of St Bartholomew's Hospital, also had a narrow escape. It seems that the

morning of his absconding they suspected something wrong, and with some difficulty prevailed onthe President, Sir James SAaw, to sign a cheque withdrawing .5000 from their balance in the

Banking-house of .5,800. This cheque was received at n o'clock, and before two, the firm

stopped. The remaining .800 will in course be lost.

"It now turns out that Mr. Stephenson, whose family has been residing at Dover for some time,

had opened a deposit account with the bank of Messrs Minet and Fector, and Messrs. Latham and

Co., of that place. A letter which was received on Wednesday from Dover, stated, that a chequewas presented on the previous morning at each house for the balance remaining there, but the clerks

having heard what had occurred in the city on Saturday, refused to pay them. On mentioning the

ustance to the principals of the house, it was determined to detain the person who presentedthe cheques, but he had taken the alarm, and was off, as supposed, by one of the London coaches.

"There remains now to notice another baneful consequence arising from the iniquitous conduct of

this unprincipled man. \Vc allude to the disputes it must engender as to the rightful possessionof certain property from which disputes the lawyers will reap a golden harvest The Exchequer-bill

market has for some days been in a state of confusion difficult to describe. No one has dared

purchase these securities, lest they should prove some of those abstracted by the fugitive. It has

already been ascertained that bills and other securities of this description, to the amount of manythousands, are afloat, some of which have passed to various persons by bon&fide sale ; others, which

have been pledged to near their value, with monied houses. The London Life Association has issued

a notice, with the numbers of their bills, and warning all persons from purchasing them. This

course has been followed by a representative of Mr. ex-Sheriff Parkins. A Mr. Frttctuozo has also

posted a paper on the Stock Exchange, announcing that Chilian Bonds to the amount of more than

.20,000 ; Colombian to the amount of ,10,000 ; Mexican to the amount of .4000 ;and Brazilian

to the amount of ,1 2,000, which were in the hands of Messrs. Remington, Stephenson, and Com-

pany, are not forthcoming, upon the request made for them at their banking-house ;that they are the

property of Mr. ]. A. Kructuozo, and that all persons are cautioned against receiving them, or any

part thereof." Under such a state of things, people know not how to act. The usual security attending property

seems lost. It is said that the Law will justify the possession of all such Exchequer-bills as have

been obtained by bond fide purchase even though the seller of such acquired them by fraud but

that where they have been only pledged, though to their entire value, they must be delivered up to

their original owners. There are, however, other cases of a more abstruse nature springing from the

conduct of Mr. Stephenson, and which will call for all the learning of our Lawyers to decide. Amongthese is the following : A gentleman keeping cash at the house was applied to by Stephenson to lend

him his promissory note for ,8000 on some pretence or other. The request was complied with on

the assurance that it should be provided for when due ; and Stephenson, exhibiting the note to his

partners as the result of a bond fide transaction of business between them, obtained that sum for his

own private account At the period when the note had arrived at maturity, Stephenson assured the

gentleman who accommodated him with the loan of it, that it had been cancelled in the regular form,

and he therefore thought no more about it. It now turns out that this note is still in existence, and

that Stephenson, after availing himself of it for its first and regular use, has deposited it with a third

party as security for a further advance of money. This party applies to the original granter of the

142 LONDON BANKERS. [REMROB

Remington and Co. continued.

note for payment, which is resisted on two grounds, first, because he had the assurance of Stephensonthat it was paid ; and next, because it is deemed irregular to take a note of hand which is overdue as

a security for the payment of money." This knotty point the lawyers we hear will soon be called upon to decide. In fine, there is no

saying where the unfortunate consequences of this affair will end. It tends to create distrust where

confidence formerly existed, and to make every man suspect his neighbour. The case of Fauntleroyis generally allowed not to have been near so fatal to public credit as this delinquency of Stephenson'sis likely to prove.

"Conjecture is busy as to what the fugitive could have done with the immense sum, exceeding

.300,000, which it turns out he has pillaged. Though an expensive man in his habits, keeping two

or three establishments, yet there was no such excess visible about him as to exceed 8 or 10,000

per annum. This in course cannot account for 300,000. It has been said that he gambled, but

he never discovered to his intimates the least inclination towards that vice. It is not believed that

he has taken more than 50,000 with him, if so much.

"Mr. Rowland Stephenson is the second son of the \a\.&John Stephenson, Esq., of Great Ormond-

street, Queen-square, who was the cousin of Rowland Stephenson, Esq., the elder, the original of the

firm of Balson and Stephenson, who subsequently introduced into it his cousin, the above-named John

Stephenson, Esq., at whose death his son, the present Mr. Rowland Stephenson, succeeded to the

partnership. He married his cousin, the eldest daughter of Edward Stephenson, Esq., of Farley-hill,

Berkshire, and of Queen-square, Bloomsbury, only son of the original Rowland Stephenson, Esq.,

by whom he has eight children, and is now a widower. His age is about 50 ; though it is not

improbable that there may not exist any authentic record of his birth, he having been born at sea, in

the Straits of Dover. Of his children one son, the eldest, was in the Banking-house ;two others are

in India; and one is in one of the Government public-offices.

" Mr. Stephenson appeared in private to be of a very gloomy uncertain temperament He would

in company sit for a length of time without speaking, and would then suddenly break out into merri-

ment, not called for by anything peculiar in the conversation. In fine, he had, in private society, that

abstracted appearance which one would expect to see in a man who must have passed every hour, for

bygone years, in agonizing apprehension of what the next might by possibility produce."

the firm until 1776, when Mr. Buller retired. It was then Lemon, Furley, Lubbock, and Co. In

1785 another change took place: Sir William Lemon's name dropped out of the firm, and they

brought in Mr. Bosanquet as one of the junior partners, the style being Furley, Lubbock, Bosanquet,and Co. During the same year the name of Forster appears as head partner in place of Furley ; the

style of the firm thus becoming Forster, Lubbock, Bosanquet, and Co. In 1785 it was Forster,

(For the above information I am indebted to Sir.John Lubbock, Bart.)

15, Lombard Street, was formerly known by the sign of the Queen's Arms.

Robarts, Curtis, Were, Hornyold, and Berwick, according to the list of bankers in the LondonDirectory, were established in 1792 at 35, Cornhill. Sir William Curtis was Lord Mayor in 1795,and died January 27, 1829. In 1797 they moved to 15, Lombard Street; and in 1802 they werelocated at 18, Exchange Alley, which probably was only a temporary abode, as in the next list, in

1805, the style of the firm was Robarts, Curtis, Robarts, and Curtis, at 15, Ixjmbard Street. In 1818it became Sir William Curtis, Robarts, and Curtis ; and from 1834 until 1860, the year in which theyamalgamated with Lubbock, Forster, and Co., the style of the firm was Robarts, Curtis, and Co. Thefollowing remarkable recovery of stolen property is recorded in Keene's Bath Journal for April 30,

1832 :

"It will be recollected, that about four or five months ago, a clerk in the house of Messrs.

Robarts and Co., of Lombard Street, bankers, decamped, taking with him a considerable amount in

Bank-notes, &c As soon as it was known that the clerk had proceeded to America, immediate stepswere taken for forwarding to the British Consul in the United States, and to all the ports of the

Union a description of the fugitive, the numbers of the notes, &c., and by the accounts received

Saturday from the United States, it appears that the clerk, on landing in America, proceeded to

Georgia, where he was taken prisoner, and property found upon him to the amount of about ,3000,there being only a deficiency of .700 in the sum he decamped with. The delinquent was allowed

his liberty on giving up the money he possessed."Sir John Lubbock, the author of many valuable scientific works, introduced the Bill in Parliament

for establishing four extra holidays in the year for the benefit of bankers' clerks, which holidays are

now generally adopted by the whole population of England.This bank occupies the site of three old houses, Nos. 15, 16, and 17.

Nos. 16 and 17 were LLOYD'S COFFEE-HOUSE, which originated with a coffee-house keeperof the name of Edward Lloyd, who, in September, 1696, started Lloyd's News. This house was at

the west corner of Abchurch Lane. In a poem called the "Wealthy Shopkeeper," we read

" Then to Lloyd's Coffee House he never fails,

To read the letters and attend the sales."

In the early numbers of London Gazette, Daily Courant, Post Boy, etc., advertisements of sales of

various things appear almost daily, to be sold either by the candle, or otherwise. Lloyd, the coffee

man, as he was called, died February 17, 1713. His coffee-house was moved to Pope's Head Alley,

but, in 1774, it was again moved to the Royal Exchange, where it now exists as Lloyd's.

Through the kindness of Mr. Robarts, who permitted me to examine the title-deeds, I have

ascertained that previously to this house being Lloyd's it was called PUNTACK'S HEAD. The

back part of these premises originally belonged to Vyner, and afterwards to the Post Office, of which

latter it was purchased by the bankers, including messuages in Abchurch Lane, called the Golden

Ball, afterwards the Rose and Crown, and then the Bear. Although spelt Puntack in the deeds, we

find by contemporary literature that the house was kept by a Monsieur Pontack or Pontac, a French-

man, son of the President of Bordeaux, who was owner of the vineyards of Pontaq and O'Brien,* from

Probably Haul Brion.

which came the choice clarets. He came to London to establish a famous eating-house, and set

up his father's head as a sign, which is mentioned by Dryden, Swift, and Defoe, likewise Evelyn, who

states that, in 1694, the Royal Society dined at Puntack's as usual. He also describes him as "having

studied well in philosophy, but chiefly the Rabbins, and was exceedingly addicted to cabalistic fancies,

an external hablador (romancer) and half distracted by reading abundance of the extravagant Eastern

Jews. He spake all languages, was very rich, had a handsome person, and was well bred, about

forty-five years of age. I think I may truly say of him, which was not so truly said of St, Paul, that

much learning had made him mad." Swift, in his letters to Stellal .says that the wine was charged

seven shillings a flask" are not these pretty rate's ?

"Before Pontack had the house, it was known

by the sign of the White Bear. The premises now form part of Messrs. Robarts' bank.

Lubbock's old house in Mansion-house Street was a portion of Sir Martin Bowes' bequest to the

Goldsmiths' Company, and was leased of them.

Msmith, area 1678, of St. Martin-in-the-Fields.

Rowe, Thomas, i or RowAs it was sometimes spelt) was a goldsmith. His name appears as early as 1666 in the ledgers of

Alderman Backwell, with whom he kept an account.

He was one of those goldsmiths who had money in the Exchequer when it was closed by

Charles II. on January 2, 1672. The amount he lost by that royal proceeding was .17,615 17*. 9>d.,

for which he had 6 per cent, interest paid him, amounting to ^1056 19*. per annum. In the"

Little

London I>irertory" of 1677 the names of Rowc and Green, keeping running-cashes at the George,*in Lumbard Street, lead one to suppose that he was not entirely ruined by the closing of the

jquer, as so many others were. But he appears to have had some litigation, as the following

extracts will show.

In the Public Record Office we have access to some information respecting him. Under

cquer Special Commission, No. 6325, 36 Charles II. [A.D. 1683-4], a writ is issued to John

Philipps and others, directing them to inquire into certain matters as set out in a decree of the

Court of Exchequer, made on Thursday, February 10, 168?, which recites that Michael Clipsham,

merchant, had exhibited his bill against Thomas Row, Thomas Greene, and Nathaniel Stone, said

bill setting forth that he was a merchant trading in wines and other things which pay customs, and

that he had "several! times money by him on purpose to leave at some Goldesmithe's ready for

.ing such charges." He had dealt with the defendant Row, and about March 23, 1669, theyhad come to an account, and released one another. The complainant owed Row about .350.Row afterwards took Green into partnership, and the plaintiff continued dealing with them. About

November last he demanded a statement of account, but could not obtain the same. Upon his

requiring a sum of money, the defendants advanced it to him on his making over to them his interest

in a ship called the"Abegail (sic) and Mary."

The complainant prayed relief, and that the defendants might come to a fair account with him.

The defendants appeared, and answered. An Order of Court on November 2 directed that

Stone's name should be taken out of the list of defendants, to enable him to be examined as a witness

for the plaintiff; and on the same day the whole matter was referred to Auditor Phillipps. In the

interrogatories on behalf of the plaintiff, Row, Green, and Stone are described as " of London,.miths." By one witness Stone is spoken of as " Mr. Row's man."

tion of witnesses took place, one of the interrogatories on behalf of the plaintiff was : How did you

discharge the credit given you, by ready money, or "by note on any or what Goldsmith

"? Among

the depositions on the part of the plaintiff we have that of Christopher Harrison, of London, merchant,

complainant's servant;who knows Row as keeping part of the account betwixt them [Row and Clip-

sham], and receiving and paying several sum and sums of money for account of the said plaintiff.

Michael Prescott, of London, distiller, likewise deposes that in January, 1670, he bought a parcel

of brandy of Michael Clipsham, and that in February he gave Clipsham's man "a note on a gold-

smith" for ;6o "he believes on Mr. Thomas Row."

Two of the defendants' interrogatories ran : Were you a servant, book-keeper, etc., for any of the

defendants, or for one "John Addis, Goldsmith in Lumbard-streete and his partners

"? And :

What sums of money did the defendants pay to the said "Addis and Company in August, 1678"?He may probably have struggled on for a few years, but we find that he did fail, as in the

London Gazette of October 9, 1690, there is an advertisement of a dividend in his estate to be paid.

And again on May 25, 1704, occurs the following notice :

" The creditors of Thomas Rowe, late of

London, goldsmith, deceased, who claim title to any part of the old Exchequer debt due to the said

Thomas Rowe in the year 1677, from the late King Charles the Second and for which he settled

a perpetual interest on the heriditary excise, are desired to meet together on Thursday the 2gth day

of June next at Laurence's Coffee house in Freeman's Court, Cornhill, London, at 4 in the afternoon,

there to consider and agree upon some proper methods to be used for obtaining their right. The

Creditors are desired to bring with them all such writings as they have to make out their claim."

The partners were Thomas Rowe, Thomas Green, and Nathaniel Stone.

Rowland, John,Goldsmith and banker, of Lombard Street. His name first occurs in the

"Little London Direc-

tory"of 1677, in the list of merchants, his address then being in Winchester Street. He subsequently

moved to Lombard Street, where he certainly was in 1682. He is reputed to have made a consider-

able fortune, and retired into the country before the close of that century. He became High Sheriff

in Carnarvonshire, and was a large landed proprietor. He married a daughter of Sir Robert Owen, of

the Porkington family, and died 1704.

Salesburie, William, 1379.In the second year of Richard II., as we read in Ruding's "Annals," the King granted to William

Salesburie, goldsmith, to hold the exchange in Lumbard Street in London, by himself or his deputies,as well for the exchange of gold and silver as for the merchandise of all kinds of bullion, plates and

vessels of silver and gold, in the King's name, paying yearly into the Exchequer 20 for the profit of

the said exchange. Provided always that the King should not change his money ; and that the said

William should cause all such plates and jewels of silver and gold so exchanged to be carried to the

King's Mint in the Tower of London. The Mayor of London was commanded to proclaim the same ;

and it was directed that the exchange should be held in no other place, on pain of forfeiture. In

order to put the newly coined money into circulation these exchanges were established in various

places, in which bullion was purchased for the supply of the Mint. The principal exchange in these

days was near St. Paul's, which probably gave the name to the street now known as Old Change.

In 1801 it became Sansom, Blake, and Postlethwaite, and it so continued until 1811, when

another change is recorded, and the style became Sansom, Postlethwaite, and Sansom. In 1820 it

was Sansom and Postlethwaite, which continued to be the style thereof until 1831, after which date

no trace of them is discoverable in the Directory.

of the Vine.

In 1805 the firm was Veres, Lucadon, and Smart. In 1809 considerable changes took place, as

the Directory for the following year shows that the firm consisted of Veres, Smart, Baron, Hawkins,and Turnbull. In 1814 the name of Turnbull had disappeared, otherwise the firm was unchanged.In 1818 it was Veres, Baron, and Hawkins; and in 1824 it became Veres, Ward, and Co. That

style continued for ten years; but in 1834 it stood as Vere, Sapte, Banbury, and Co. In 1838 Mr.

Muspratt's name appeared as a partner. The Directory of 1844 exhibits further change; Mr. Vere,

the head of the firm for many years, ceasing to be connected with it, and the style becoming Sapte,

Banbury, Muspratt, and Co. In 1856 it was Sapte, Muspratt, Banbury, Nix, and Co., which con-

tinued to be the designation until the amalgamation took place in 1859 between this firm and that of

Scott (Sir Samuel, Bart.) and Co.Sir Claude Scott is said to have begun life in a very small way. By great application and industry,

however, he gradually became a wealthy merchant, was created a baronet, and in his later years

became a banker. It was in 1824 or 1825 that he started the business now so well known;and

fortunately it derived a great impetus from the fact of his being able to secure a considerable remnantof Marsh, Sibbald, and Co.'s connexion, after the execution of Fauntleroy. They commencedbusiness at Holies Street, Cavendish Square, and in the following year they took the premises theynow occupy, No. I, Cavendish Square. In 1827 Mr. John Villiers Dent, formerly a junior clerk at

Child's, joined the firm, when the style of it became Sir Claude Scott, Bart., Dent, and Co. Sir

Claude Scott and Co. continued to be the style until 1847, the firm consisting of Sir Samuel Scott,

Bart., Claude Edward Scott, and Samuel Scott. After that date it was styled Sir Samuel Scott and

Co., and the designation has been maintained to the present day.

It now consists of the following partners :

Scrimpshaw, Michael (or Scrimpshire, or Skrimshire),Was a goldsmith at the Golden Lyon, in Fleet Street. We find his name in the London Gazette

of February 18, 1674, in an advertisement for a silver inkhorn bearing the arms of the Earl of Euston,which was to be brought to him. On March 4 in the same year he offered 20 reward for the

apprehension of the thief who stole a large quantity of silver plate from Sir Thomas Wolstenholme's,or for notice of any one offering any portion of the same for pawn or sale. Many of the advertise-

ments that appeared in the London Gazette at this period were very quaint. When articles were lost,

or even when servants ran away, the reward was usually notified to be paid by the goldsmith. The

following is dated October 2, 1676: "One John Ruddock, aged about 26, with brown flaggy hair,

Seamour, James (also spelt Seamer and Seymour),Was a goldsmith, between 1699 and 1734, at the Flower de Luce, corner of Mitre Court in Fleet

Street. Many advertisements appeared in the London papers about 1705, stating that he received

subscriptions for the Horse Race on Merrow Downs, at Guildford. Thjee plates were to be run for,

and, as an additional attraction, cock-fighting was to continue for the whole week. In November,1714, he advertised for a box of plate that was stolen from a waggon between Epsom and London.

He became bankrupt; and in January, 1737, the assignees, under a commission of bankruptcy,advertised the sale of two freehold messuages in Salisbury Court, Fleet Street.

Kirhard III., which took place in his mayoralty, he attended as cup-bearer with great pomp, when his

claim was admitted and placed upon record. He was goldsmith to this king, and sold him several

s of plate. At his decease he appointed by his testament (writes Stow) his executors, with the

cost of four hundred marks, and the stuff of the old gate, called Cripplegate, to build the same gateof new, which was performed and done in the year i49t. He also ordered sixteen rings of gold to

be given to his friends. By his will, dated March 20, 1487, according to Herbert's "History of the

Twelve Great Livery Companies," he directed his executors to purchase and convey to the Gold-

smiths' Company sufficient property whereout they might pay an annual quit-rent of 17 ;of which

IQ should be paid to support a priest"cunning in grammar, and able to teach it," in the parish of

Stopford (Stockport), in the county of Chester ;and the remaining ^7 be applied to certain super-

Apostle, Wood Street, to be newly built of his goods, with a flat roof; notwithstanding, Thomas1, goldsmith, one of the Sheriffs 1491, is accounted principal benefactor, because the roof of

the middle aisle is supported by images of woodmen. Sir John Shaw died 1508.

Shakleton, William,

Goldsmith, 1578, of the parish of St. Mary Woolchurch Haw.

Shales and SmithinWere goldsmiths keeping running-cashes, and had both been apprentices or servants to Alderman

Charles Duncombe. From evidence at command they signed for him in 1684. Upon Buncombe's

giving up his business they appear to have started for themselves as goldsmiths, at the Unicorn, in

Lombard Street. Charles Shales was a party to a deed of sale and bargain in which he and others

purchased the lease of the premises known as the Unicorn, in Lombard Street, lately in the possessionof Henry Lambe and formerly of Edward Backwell. The next time we find him mentioned is in the

Public Record Office (amongst the "Exchequer Bills and Answers, William III., London and

Middlesex," No. 553), April 28, 1694. The following is a short abstract. The Complaint of Charles

Shales of London, Goldsmith, states that Richard Kent, late of London, deceased, in 1687 and 1688,

had dealings with him about the paying and receiving money for the said Kent Kent desired him

to pay to Robert Chamberlayne of London, Merchant, and to Charles Danvers of Devizes, a sum of

money. This he (Shales) did.

" Mr. Kent came to your orator's house in Lombard Street in London," and left a bond with him.

Interest was charged at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum. Kent died about 1690.

The answer of Chamberlayne refers to Shales as a " Banker and Keeper of cash and ready moneyof y* said Mr. Kent

;

"while that of Charles Danvers deposes that he (Danvers) received money

"att

a goldsmith's shoppe in Exchange Alley near the Royal Exchange."It would be interesting to know whether this said Richard Kent was the partner of Duncombe,

as so little can be ascertained concerning him. In 1715 we find that Shales had a new partner, and

that Shales and Bowdler were then at the Vine, in Lombard Street. They were goldsmiths to QueenAnne and George I. and II.

The Directory of 1736 shows us that one Thomas Bowdler remained; but nothing further can

be traced of him. This Thomas Bowdler witnessed the signature of Alderman Backwell at the

Exchequer, in 1677-8, when he assigned his debts.

Sharpe and SonsWere established in West Smithfield as bankers about 1810. They failed early in the year 1825.

Upon that event Mr. Hill, who had been their manager, immediately set up for himself.

Shelden, Richard,Was a goldsmith occupying the sign of the Red Cross, in Lombard Street, in 1680.

Shelley, Philip,

Goldsmith, died in 1603, and bequeathed money to the Goldsmiths' Company, also to the poorof his parish, that of St. John Zachary.

Sheppard, William,A goldsmith, at the Angel, in Lombard Street, and keeping running-cashes in 1690. We ascertain

from the Vestry-books of St. Edmund King and Martyr that in 1690 William Sheppard, goldsmith,

occupied the first house westwards of a void space in front of the church, which had a frontage in

Lombard Street of 3 feet 3 inches, with 3 feet i inch backwards and 2 1 feet deep. From this fact,

therefore, we may assume that this house was known by the sign of the Angel.He was authorized by the Treasury in April, 1 694, together with several leading goldsmiths, to

receive contributions in his shop for the raising of ^1,000,000 sterling upon the duty on salt and on

the new rates of excise. In 1696 he took into partnership Joseph Bragg, who had been clerk to Sir

John Sweetaple of Lombard Street, the firm then becoming Sheppird and Bragge. It is recorded in

Sheppard, William continued.

Luttrell's Diary that on February 4, 1701," Mr. "Shepherd (sic), a noted banker of Lombard Street,

having great sums of money drawn from him, occasioned by the fall of the public stock, was forced

to stop payment at present." He evidently could not recover his credit, as the London Gazette of

nber 30, 1702, announces that William Shepard (sic), Joseph Bragg, and John Shepard were

bankrupts.

Nothing further can be ascertained about M. Shore. It is probable that he was compelled to

leave London in consequence of his wife's infidelity. Jane Shore, however, lived as late as the reign

of Henry VIII., eirca 1527.

shows us that in 1766 they had removed to 18, Lombard Street, a house known by the sign of the

This large business originated in Nottingham, nearly one hundred years before they established

the bank in London.

I am indebted to Mr. F. C. Smith, a partner in the bank at Nottingham, for the following

information :

John Smith, of Crosswell Butler, Notts, a small farmer, died in 16.41. His son Thomas was

apprenticed to a mercer in Nottingham, and in 1653 bought the shop where he carried on his businessfor many years. It was this Thomas Smith who gradually added the new business of banking to that

of mercer; and from documents in possession of the Nottingham Bank we conclude that some time

before 1688 the bank was fairly established. At his death [in 1699 he was succeeded in the bank byhis eldest son Thomas, who was in 1717 High Sheriff of Leicestershire, having considerable propertyin that county. This second Thomas died in 1727, and his balance sheet then prepared shows a

considerable business with the gentry of the county and merchants of ily town.

! brothers Samuel and Abel succeeded him;and it was the son of this Abel who founded the

bank of Smith and Payne in conjunction with Mr. John 1'aync. This second Abel also founded the

Hull and Lincoln Banks. He was an M.P. for different boroughs, and the father of George (after

war<! rge) Smith, and the first Lord Carington.The Nottingham Bank is the oldest existing county bank in England.In 1773 Messrs. Smith and Payne took an additional partner, when the firm became Smith, Payne,

and Smith. In 1778 they were located in George Street, Mansion House ; and in 1785 the Ixjndon

lory discloses the firm as consisting of Smith, Payne, Smith, and Payne. In 1824 Smith, Payne,and Smith were at Mansion-house Place ; and in 1830 they found a local habitation in No. i, I.om-

Smith, Samuel, and Sonrir-,t appear in the London Directory in 1776 as occupying 12, Alderrnanbury. In 1794 the style

of the firm was changed to Samuel Smith, Sons, and Co. ;and in the year following they removed to

mbard Street, where they remained until 1800, when they probably transferred their business

to Bosanquet and Co., whom we find in occupation of the premises in 1801.

Smith, Wright, and Co.,

21, Ix>mbard Street. The business of this firm was established about the year 1758 by Bland,and Stephenson, at the Three Kings, in Lombard Street. In the "Royal Annual Kalendar"

of 1765, however, their house is called the Golden Ball In 1762 Mr. Stephenson left the firm,

probably to join Batson and Hoggart in forming a new one about this time (see RKMINGTON). In

1763 the style became Smith, Wright, and Gray. In 1770 their house was numbered 55, and in 1774

they moved to the Anchor and Crown, 21, Lombard Street, where they continued until they amalga-mated with Ksdaile and Co. in 1792.

The following curious story, illustrating the dangers bankers' walk-clerks were exposed to in those

days, is extracted from the Gentleman's Magazine of 1780 :

ham I >arnford and Will Newton were ex* before the magistrate at Guildhall, being charged"Warts, clerk to Smith, Wright, and Gray, Bankers, with robbing and attempting to murder

him. It appeared on examination that one of the men had lodged an accepted bill at the bankinghouse to be rece*

1 when due, and the money to be remitted into the country according to direction.

As this pretented bill was directed to an empty house and had several days to run, the villains in the

time applied to the persons who had the letting of the house, to take it, had taken it, and gotthe key. under i In-

the haste his new tenants were in to take possession, and not very well liking their description,

desired the mistress of the Public house on the opposite side of the way to have an eye to their

proceedings. Accordingly, upon the day when the bill became due, she observed two men enter the

house and open the parlour windows, and presently after a third man came and knocked at the door,

was let in, and the door shut. Attending to see the event, she thought she heard an uncommon

noise, and stepping over the way, and listening, was struck with the sound of ' Murder '

pronounced in a

hoarse faint voice, succeeded by a kind of groaning, wchvery much alarmed her

; and, looking through

the key hole, she saw two men dragging the third down the cellar-stairs, on wch she cried out violently,

they're murdering a man, knocked hard at the door, and begged people in the street to break it open ;

but none would interfere. Being enraged at their brutality, she burst open the window herself, and

was entering, when one of the villians opened the door and was running off, but on the cry of'

own house, by wch

this horrid contrivance was brought to light. They had robbed the man of his

pocket-book, and had nearly throttled him to stop his noise, till they had got him into the back cellar,

where they certainly designed to have murdered him, had not the woman by her fortitude provi-

dentially interposed to save his life."

Smithies, George,Goldsmith and Alderman, of St. Matthew, Friday Street. He died 1615, and was buried in

St. Mary Staining church.

Snagg, Richard.

In 1 68 1 he was described as a goldsmith at the Unicorn, in Lombard Street, formerly the house

in which Alderman Backwell carried on his business. I have reason to believe that Snagg was one

of his apprentices. He certainly had something to do with the Alderman, as evidenced by an adver-

tisement in the London Gazette of June i, 1682, in which the creditors of Edward Backwell are desired

to-take notice that he has published his proposals, which would be delivered to them personally, or to

any others whom they may send for them, by Mr. Richard Snagg or by some other person, at Mr.

Valentine Duncombe's shop ;which the said E. Backwell formerly occupied. He appears to have

left the Unicorn soon after this, as in 1683 he was at the sign of the Exchange, and in 1691 at the

Flying Horse, both in Lombard Street. He prospered until 1708, when we learn from the London

Gazette of May 27 of that year that a sad calamity had befallen him: "Whereas, Robert Yate late

of Lombard Street, Goldsmith, has lately absconded himself from Richard Snagg of Lombard Street,

Goldsmith, with a great sum of money taken from the cash, and committed other indirect practices

and embezelments, which occasioned a stop of the currency of Payments in the shop. The creditors

of the said Richard Snagg are desired to meet on Thursday the 3rd June at 10. a clock in the morningat Mr. Stracey's house in Guildhall Yard in order to receive proposals for due satisfaction of all their

just debts." He died in 1715.

Snell, George,

Goldsmith, of Lombard Street, in 1649. He was one of a committee of goldsmiths elected and

sworn by the Commonwealth to make two standard trial pieces for the coins. He married MaryVyner, in 1631, at St. Mary Woolnoth's. On January 20, 1651, he requested the discharge from

delinquency of Dr. Snell, of Wannerton, co. Chester.* He was one of the unfortunate men who had

entrusted their money to the Exchequer at the time of its closing in 1672. The sum he lost amounted

to .10,894 14*. s</., for which the interest granted by the King was .653 131-. 6J. per annum. Hewas succeeded in the business by his fourth son, John Snell, who had been educated at Merchant

Taylors' School. From the "Little London Directory "of 1677 we ascertain that John Snell was

keeping running-cashes at the Fox, in Lombard Street, which house subsequently became No. 73.

His name is frequently met with in advertisements in the papers of the period. In 1680 he is

deii ribed as living at the Cock, in Lombard Street ;and in 1683 Sir Robert Vyner desired his

creditors to meet him at the Cock, the shop of John Snell. U'e haveascertained that he was there

some years afterwards.

Snow and Co. / I732~"'1 (See STRAHAN. )

{ 1799-1842. /

Snow, Sir Jeremiah (or Jeremy),Was a goldsmith of great repute in the days of the Commonwealth, and in the reign of Charles II.

He resided in Lombard Street, upon the site of the present No. 58, which is the next house eastwards

of the church of St. Edmund the King and Martyr. The sign of the house cannot be ascertained,

the old deeds relating to property always referring to it as "Snow's House."

He had a large account with Back well in 1664.

We learn from the following advertisement, which appeared in the London Gazette, February 28,

1666, that he had sustained some severe losses :" Whereas Jeremiah Snow late of Lombard Street,

Goldsmith, now living in Broad Street, did owe divers persons, anno 1652, Eight thousand three

hundred pounds, who at his desire did accept of 6225 pounds in full, and gave him discharges abso-

lute (which was occasioned by the failing of two French Merchants, who were at that time indebted

to him, three thousand four hundred pounds, but never paid him a fifth part, as by the Testimonials

remaining with the Publick notary it may appear) since which time it hath pleased God to bless his

endeavours with some small Estate. He therefore, in gratitude and justice, invites them to receive

the full remainder of their principal money, excepting such as by his Oath he shall affirm to have

paid in part or in whole. And he declares this Publication is not for vain Glory (Retribution in this

kindc being indispensable), nor to get more Credit, but because his Friends have adjudg'd it con-

veniently necessary that his Vindication might be as Publick as there was the Scandal."

In common with most members of his trade, he lent his surplus balances to the Exchequer.When Charles II. shut it up in 1672, he had as much as .59,780 18^. %d. in it, in consideration of

which he received a bond from the King covenanting to pay him .3586 17*. as an annuity, which

-ented 6 per cent, upon the sum royally abstracted from him. It may be surmised that after

this severe blow he either failed or gave up business, as no more is known of him.

In 1698 he was living at Shenley.

Spooner, Attwoods, and Co.

Started as bankers at 40, Fish Street Hill, in 1801. The firm at that time consisted of Spooner,

Attwood, and Holmar. Upon reference to the Directory it will be seen that in 1812 they had moved

to 27, Gracechurch Street. In 1846 the same authority shows that the firm consisted of Matthias

Attwood and John Twells, trading under the style of Spooner, Attwoods, and Co., by which designa-

tion it continued to be known until 1863, when the business of the firm was taken over by Messrs.

Staley, John,Goldsmith, of Covent Garden, appears in the London Gazette .of 1679 as a bankrupt. He was

most probably a relation and descendant of the above. In 1683, he being lately dead, some of his

creditors desire that all his creditors will meet at the Rose Tavern, without Temple Bar, on

Wednesday, the 6th June next, at three of the clock in the afternoon, to understand what proceedings

have been already had upon the statute, and to adVise what further course to take for the benefit of

all his creditors. In 1704 a notice of a small dividend was announced.

rted business as bankers at 79, Comhill, in 1796, having seceded from the firm of Staples,

Newman, Anderson, and Co. They were not heard of after that year, so we may surmise that three

secessions were too much, and that they ceased to exist.

Staples, Day, Cox, Staples, and Lynn,Bankers, started into existence at 83, Comhill, about the year 1791 ; Staples having originally

been in the firm of Messrs. Dimsdale, Sons, Barnard, and Staples. In 1795 it became Staples,

Newman, Anderson. md Lynn. In the following year a split took place, and Staples left

to found a new firm at 79, Comhill, styled Staples and Co., whilst Newman, Anderson, and Lynnremained at 83, Comhill, until 1797, when they removed to Lombard Street, but in 1799 they

occupied 80, Cornhill ;the firm then being styled Mainwaring, Sons, Chatteris, and Co. They

Goldsmith, circa 1655-6, in Covent Garden.

Steel Yard (Steleyard, or Stilliard)Was situated in Upper Thames Street. Lawson represents that the merchants of the Steel-

yard were a corporation established in the reign of Henry III. They were principally Germanmerchants trading with London, and were endowed with important privileges, and exempted from

several fiscal duties paid by other aliens. Stow says that their hall was "large, built of stone, with

three arched gates towards the street ;the middlemost whereof is far bigger than the others, and is

seldom opened ;the other two be secured up ;

the same is now called the old Hall."

Cunningham writes that he was assured by his friend, Mr. T. Hudson Turner (than whom, he

says, no person alive was better versed in the history of mediaeval London), that the Steelyard derives

its name from its being the place where the King's steelyard, or beam, was erected for weighing the

tonnage of goods imported into London. When the tonnage was transferred to the Mayor and

Corporation, the King's beam was moved first to Cornhill, and afterwards to Weigh-house Yard,

in Little Eastcheap.These merchants were settled in London as early as 1250. In

raddition to the valuable privileges

whi:h were granted them by the King, the Corporation of London likewise granted them others,

in return for which they were expected to keep in repair the City gate of Bishopsgate, and to bear

a portion of the expense of fortifying it in case of need.

Lawson goes on to say that, previously to the year 1284, they were not permitted to rent anyhouses or warehouses in London, but lodged during their stay with the brokers who sold their producefor them. When, however, they were permitted to occupy houses and warehouses of their own, they

no longer employed the brokers, but sold their merchandise themselves ; wherein they practised

many frauds, particularly in their weights. They were detected in the year 1286, when many of them

were sent to the Tower ; and, according to Fabian, their weights were publicly burnt. They were

afterwards pardoned and their privileges renewed ;and all went well with them until the reign

of Elizabeth, when they again fell into disgrace.

In the year 1597 Queen Elizabeth issued a commission to the Mayor and Sheriff of London to

shut up the house inhabited by the merchants of the Steelyard in London, and ordered all of them

to quit her dominions. From that time the Steelyard was never used for a like purpose.

Steel Yard (Steleyard, or Stilliard) continued.

It was from such bodies as these (writes Mr. Francis in his "History of the Bank of England "),

the "Steelyard merchants," our masters in the art of commerce, that the Kings of England, on any

sudden exigency, sought and obtained their principal supplies, on what now appears an exorbitant

interest. The important body of Steelyard merchants was cherished with great and peculiar privi-

leges. If great privileges were granted, however, great services were often claimed in return ; for, as

Mr. Gilbart remarks," The Steelyard Company was a kind of bank to our kings whenever they

wanted money on any sudden emergency ; but the company was sure, in the end, to be well paid for

such assistance."

This firm originated in the business of William Hodsoll, a goldsmith, at the sign of the Sun,

opposite Katharine Street in the Strand. Such is his description from 1712 to 1752. In the London

Mrectory for 1770 Edward Hodsoll appears among the bankers, near Catharine Street in the Strand.

In 1776 he had a partner, as we find the firm was Hodsoll and Michell; and in 1795 they took into

partnership Sir Walter Stirling, as junior partner. In 1799 the style of the firm was Hodsoll and

Stirling at 345, Strand, and that continued until 1824, when "it became Sir W. Stirling, Bart., Stirling,

and Hodsoll. In 1828 they gave up business, and most of the accounts were transferred to Snows'.

Stocks, Humphry (or Stokes,As he is called by Samuel Pepys in his Diary). The " Little London Directory

ful. It is quite evident, however, that in 1672 they, in common with all goldsmiths, did some pawn-

In his " Memorials of Temple Bar" Mr. T. C. Noble says that John Snow in 1636 had to pay4 los. &d. for expenses attending the plague then raging in his three houses in St. Clement's parish ;

but whether he was then a goldsmith is unknown. A half-century later the Snows were flourishing

in Fleet Street as well as the Strand, as proved by several entries in the St. Dunstan registers. Gay,the poet, celebrates Thomas Snow for his sagacity during the fatal ye?/ 1720, so well known as the"great bubble year."

Slick thy black pen awhile behind thy ear.

O thou, whose penetrative wisdom foundThe South-sea rocks and shelves, where thousands drown'd !

Thy unexhausted shop was our Peru."

The name of Snow does not appear in the "Little London Directory

"of 1677 ; and, as no other

appeared until 1736, I have recourse to the endorsements on the old cash-notes of Messrs. Child and

Co. Upon them in the year 17*9 we find the names of "Snow and Paltock, witness J. Thomson."

John Paltock had been a goldsmith in Fleet Street for some years ; and here is a proof of his having

amalgamated with Mr. Snow.

It is supposed by some that this business was carried on in Fleet Street as well as in the Strand

for some years. On a cash-note, dated 1736, I find the name Thomas Snow and Co., witnessed byAlex. Ross. The firm appears to have continued as Thomas Snow and Co. until about 1742.

The following story is told by Mr. Frederick Martin in his " Banks and Bankers." SampsonGideon, a great Jew broker, had occasion to borrow ,20,000 of Mr. Snow, the banker. Very shortly

afterwards a panic occurred; and Mr. Snow, alarmed for the safety of his loan, addressed a piteous

epistle to the Jew, entreating him to pay the money at once, and thereby save him from bankruptcyand utter ruin. Gidean knew his man well, and determined to give him back his coveted property,

but to punish him at the same time for his want of confidence. Accordingly he sent for a phial of

hartshorn, and, wrapping it in twenty notes of ,1000 each, returned the loan in that form to" Mr.

Thomas Snow, goldsmith, near Temple Bar."

The old firm of Sir W. Stirling and Co. gave up business about 1828, as I have recorded under

that head ; and it was taken over by Snow.

In 1754 Mr. Snow took into partnership Mr. William Denne, who was a goldsmith in Cheapside,and the style of the firm continued Snow and Denne until about 1768, when they associated with

themselves William Sandby, who had for many years been a successful bookseller in Fleet Street.

The firm was then known as Snow, Denne, Denne, and Sandby. In 1798 Mr. J. D. Paul was

admitted into it, the style then being Snow, Sandby, Paul, and Knick. In 1833 the firm was "Robert

Snow, Senior and Junior, William Strahan, Sir J. D. Paul, Bart., and John D. Paul, junior." About

this time Mr. Snow changed his name from Snow to Strahan, in consequence of the late Queen'sPrinter having left him ^180,000 on condition that he should assume his name. After 1843 wefind it styled Messrs. Strahan, Paul, and Bates ;

which designation continued until 1856, when this

old-established house failed through the unscrupulous conduct of the firm, who misappropriated the

securities left in their charge. They were all convicted of the offence, and sentenced to penal servitude

for various terms. Mr. Bates, who was the least culpable, was released some years ago ; but he has

since died.

The business was taken over by the London ami Westminster Bank, who established a branch on

the same premises, which they have occupied ever since. During alterations recently made in the

front shop, the old sign of the Golden Anchor was taken down from the wall, and probably has been

destroyed.

Strange, Dashwood, and Co.,

Of 150, New Bond Street, originated in the firm of Walwyn, Petrie, Hassell, Ward, and Mac-

george, about 1793. The name of Hassell is not seen in the Directory after 1795. In 1799 the firm

consisted of Walwyn, Strange, Dashwood, Steward, Agnew, and Macgeorge. The name of Walwyndoes not occur in the list in 1801 ; but the firm had changed its style to Strange, Dashwood, Steward,

Agnew, and Co.;and it disappeared from the roll of bankers about 1802.

Stride, John, and William Stephen,Of 41, West Smithfield. This business appears to have been originated by John Jones, about

1809, at 18, West Smithfield. A few years afterwards he moved into No. 41. In 1827 he took his

son into partnership, under the style of Jones and Son;and that continued to be the designation

until 1848, notwithstanding the business was in the sole hands of Alfred Jones. It would seem from

the Directory that it was taken over by Stride and Stride in 1849, as I find that in that year theywere occupying the same premises. The name does not find record after 1873.

1683, we read that a cash-note of his was lost, payable to one Edward Callender or bearer, for

^99 los. ; the finder being assured of " a reasonable reward"upon bringing it to his shop in Lombard

Street. The next notice of him occurs January 29, 1701, when we learn that Sir John Sweetaple,

Benjamin Hodgkins, and Richard Harris were bankrupts. Notice of a second dividend is advertised

in the same medium for August 7, 1704.

that John Temple, his chief man, set up as a goldsmith, as in the"Little London Directory

For the following remarks respecting the Harp and Cross money (money coined by the Common-wealth) I am indebted to Pepys, who states that he took them down in writing from Temple's own

mouth :" Before the Harp and Crosse money was cried down, he and his fellow goldsmiths did

make some particular trials what proportion that money bore to the old King's money, and theyfound that it generally come to, one with another, about 25 in every 100. Of this money there

was, upon the calling of it in, "650,000 at least brought into the Tower; and from thence he com-

putes that the whole money of England must be full 16,250,000, but, for all this, believes that

there is about 30,000,000 : he supposing that about the King's coming in, when he begun to

observe the quantity of the new money, people begun to be fearful of this money's being cried

down, and so picked it out and set it a going as fast as they could to be rid of it;and he thinks

30,000,000 the rather, because, if there were but i6,25o,ooo_, the King, having ,,'2,000,000

every year, would have the whole money of the kingdom in his hands in eight years.

"He tells me about 350,000 sterling was coined out of the French money, the proceeds of

Dunkirke : so that, with what was coined of the Crosse money, there is new coined about 1,000,000,

besides the gold, which is guessed at 500,000." He tells me that, though the King did deposit the French money in money in pawn all the

while for 350,000, he was forced to borrow thereupon till the tools could be made for the new

minting in the present form. Yet the interest he paid for that time came to .35,000 : Viner havingto his knowledge 10,000 for the use of 100,000 of it."

Alderman Backwell also must have profited from this source, as his ledgers show that he kept

separate accounts headed "Harpe and Crosse Money."

On May 19, 1663, Pepys visited the Tower with Sir John Minnes; when he was shown by Mr.

Slingsby and Mr. Howard, Comptroller of the Mint, the method of making the new money, of which

they coined 16 or 24,000 pounds per week. After relating the process, and an anecdote about a

man swallowing the silver in small globules, by which means he acquired a large amount of metal, he

goes into a calculation about the Harp and Cross money, which I quote :

" At dinner they did dis-

course very finely to us of the probability that there is a vast deal of money hid in the land, from

this : that in King Charles's time there was near ten millions of money coyned, besides what was

then in being of King James's and Queen Elizabeth's, of which there is a good deal at this day in

being.

"Next, that there was but 750,000 coyned of the Harp and Crosse money; and of this there

was "500,000 brought in upon its being called in. And from very good argument they find that

there cannot be less of it in Ireland and Scotland than 100,000; so that there is but 150,000

missing; and of that, suppose that there should be not above 50,000 still remaining, either melted

down, hid, or lost, or hoarded up in England, there will then be but 100,000 left to be thought to

have been transported.

"Now, if 750,000 in twelve years' time lost but 100,000 in danger of being transported, then

10,000,000 in thirty-five years' time will have lost but 3,888,880 and odd pounds; and, as there

is 650,000 remaining after twelve years' time in England, so, after thirty-five years' time, which was

within this two years, there ought in proportion to have been resting 6,111,120, or thereabouts,

besides King James and Queen Elizabeth's money. Now, that most of this money be hid is evident,

as they reckon, because of the dearth of money immediately upon the calling in of the States' money,which was 500,000 that come in; and then there was not any money to be had in this City, which,

they say, to their own observation and knowledge was so. And therefore, though I can say nothingin it myself, I do not dispute it."

We learn from the Register of the parish of St. Mary Woolnoth that in February, 1672, John

Temple was married to Dorrothie Colvill, spinster, by the Archbishop's licence. She was a daughter

of John Colvill, goldsmith, of Lombard Street. Nothing can be traced of John Seal, with whom

Temple went into partnership about this time;but I find that his future partner, Thomas Temple,

was in 1672 associated with Robert Wealstead, a goldsmith, their firm being then styled Welsted (sic)

and Temple. Unless there were two Thomas Temples at this time, we may infer that he did not

remain long with Wealstead ;as the annexed advertisement will testify.

on by his lineal descendants to the present day.In the Spectator of May 18, 1712, an advertisement named Mr. Twining to pay a reward for some

article lost, at his Coffee House, in the Strand.

I >uring a considerable period of their existence the firm had exercised the function of bankers to their

family connexions; but it was not until the year 1824 that the then partners (great-grandsons of the

founder) opened an office with a separate entrance in Devereux Court, for their banking business.

The result fully justified their expectations, and the premises soon became inconveniently small for

their purpose. A site was accordingly cleared for the erection of the present banking-house, on their

property in the Strand, the line of Devereux Court having been altered for the purpose under the

authority of a writ from the Crown, and the business of their bank was removed to it in the year 1836.

promises to pay him for them " when God shall enable us." He 1vas also entrusted by Charles

with a letter of peace to the City, which was received in Common Hall on January 6, 164$, andresulted in its being

"frustrated, made voyd, and contemned," and in Violet being sent to the Tower !

In 1660 he petitioned Charles II. for redress, and published in 1660 a quarto tract, now scarce and

curious, entitled" An Appeal to Caesar, wherein Gold and Silver is proved to be the King's Majesties'

Royal Commodity, &c."

On page 20 we read :

"All the world knows the whole stock of the money of the Kingdom is to

be disposed of by the credit of the "City of London ;the City of London gives the vote to the

kingdom, and the merchants of London, for credit upon money rules the City."

On page 22 : "The merchants of London have transported all the gold and most of the silver out

of England, principally by the confederation and assistance of the goldsmiths in Lombard Street, who

are just in the nature of the bankers at Amsterdam ; and the goldsmith is your merchant's jacall, as

the jacall is to the lion they hunt for the lion's prey. The goldsmiths lay up gold and silver for the

merchants to transport, some goldsmiths in Lombard Street keeping at this day many great merchants

of London cashes and some noblemen's cash; by this credit of several men's monies, the goldsmiths

in Lombard Street are in the nature of bankers, and have a great stock of treasure by them always of

gold, forraign coines, and silver."

And on page 23 :

" The goldsmiths goe between the Mint and the merchants that transport gold

and silver, and outbid the Mint a id., and sometimes id. and more, the ounce in silver, and $5. the

ounce in gold at this day ; and so catch up all the gold and silver to transport, being factors and

purveyors to the merchant that transports gold and silver."

[For the above excerpts I am indebted to Mr. T. C. Noble.]

The following entry I extract from Ruding"s" Annals of the Coinage," under date 1639-40 :

" About this time the House of Commons appears to have directed its attention to the evils which

were occasioned by the exportation of gold, the consideration of which was, on the i8th of March,

referred to a committee;and Thomas Violet, of London, goldsmith, one who followed that business,

was ordered to attend from time to time, and to have the privilege of the House freely to come and

go, without the molestation of any during the dependance of that business, unless, upon any complaint

against him to the House, it should be otherwise ordered." Commons Journals, vol. ii. p. 106.

Violet, in 1636, was accused of collecting the heaviest coins, both gold and silver, and melting

them into bullion. He also gave a higher price than was allowed by the Mint. For this he was

informed against in the Star Chamber, and imprisoned for a long time;but he was pardoned on

paying a fine of .2000 in gold, and delivering up the names of his accomplices. The cause was

heard in the Star Chamber on February 17, 1646 :

" For transporting gould out of this kingdom and

other Offences." Then follow the names of twelve goldsmiths, who were brought to trial (State

Papers, Domestic : Charles I., vol. 347, Nos. 38 and 39).

A small quarto volume was published in London in 1660, entitled," The Great Trappaner of

England Discovered ; being a true narrative of many dangerous and abominable practises of one

Thomas Violet, goldsmith, to Trappan the Jewes, &c."

We may assume that he lived in Fleet Street, from the following return of hearth-tax for St. Bride's

parish, Shoe Lane and Fleet Street precinct, which we find in"Lay Subsidies

"in the Public

Record Office :

"Violet, charged for i hearth, 1660-5."

1 68 LONDON BANKERS. [VYN

Vyner or Viner, Sir Robert

(The name was spelt both ways), was a goldsmith and banker in a very large way of business ;

indeed, he has been called the "Prince of Goldsmiths." He resided in Lombard Street, next to

St. Mary Woolnoth's church on the east side, on the site of the present Post Office, the house and

grounds occupying about a quarter of an acre. He was born in 1631, and he continued the business

of Sir Thomas Viner and Sir George Viner.

Sir Robert Vyner made the Regalia for Charles II., and the Treasury paid him ,21,978 95. n</.

and ^10,000 for two crowns, two sceptres, and a globe of gold, set with diamonds, rubies, sapphires,

emeralds and pearls, St. Edward's staff, the armilla, ampull, and other the regalia, all of gold. Helikewise lent jewels and plate to his Majesty for the ceremony, at a good profit. He was paid this

account on June 20, 1662.*

Sir Robert Vyner was Sheriff in 1666, and the Goldsmiths' Company lent their plate to him during

his shrievalty. He was Lord Mayor of London in 1674. An amusing anecdote is told of this

"Prince of Goldsmiths " on the occasion of his entertaining King Charles II. at Guildhall during

his Mayoralty. In Grammont's " Personal History of Charles JI." it is recorded that"Charles more than once dined with the good citizens of London on their Lord Mayor's Day,

and did so the year Sir Robert Viner was Lord Mayor. Sir Robert was a very loyal man, and, if

you will allow the expression, very fond of his sovereign ; but what with the joy he felt at heart for

the honour done him by his Prince, and the warmth he was in with continual toasting healths to the

Royal Family, his Lordship grew a little too fond of his Majesty, and entered into a familiarity not

altogether graceful in so public a place. The King understood very well how to extricate himself in

all such difficulties, and, with a hint to the company to avoid ceremony, stole off, and made towards

his coach, which stood ready for him in Guildhall-yard. But the Mayor liked his company so well,

and was grown so intimate, that he pursued him hastily, and, catching him fast by the hand, cried

out, with a vehement oath and accent :

'

Sir, you shall stay, and take t'other bottle.'" The airy monarch looked kindly at him over his shoulder, and with a smile and graceful air

repeated this line of the old song :

" He that's drunk is as great as a King,"

and immediately returned back and complied with his host's invitation."

In the Stocks Market Sir Robert Vyner set up an equestrian statue of Charles II. trampling on

his enemies. The statue was originally made to represent John Sobieski, King of Poland, upon horse-

back trampling on the Turk; but, that monarch's head being taken off, that of Charles was substi-

tuted, and, in the place of the Turk, the head of the prostrate foe was altered to represent Oliver

Cromwell. This statue was removed in 1736 to make room for the Mansion House; and in 1779the Corporation presented it to Robert Vyner, Esq., the legal representative of the loyal and con-

vivial Lord Mayor, who had it conveyed to his country seat, Swakeley House, Middlesex.

A happily conceived ban mot is ascribed to Vyner."

I am absolutely afraid," said the Duke of

Buckingham to Sir Robert,"that I shall die a beggar."

" At the rate you go," replied Sir Robert,"

I am afraid you will live one."

After the Great Fire of 1666, Sir Robert Vyner temporarily occupied the African House, near the

middle of Broad Street. Several other goldsmiths carried on their business in Broad Street andWinchester Street. The London Gazette of June 20, 1670, however, announced that they had removedto their several houses in Lombard Street, as formerly.

Pepys mentions Sir Robert Vyner several times in his Diary. I give the following few extracts

therefrom, as bearing upon the goldsmiths' trade.

On September 30, 1665, Pepys records :

" Thence to the office, and thence to- Captain Cocke's,where I find Mr. Temple, the fat blade, Sir Robert Viner's chief man."

This Mr. Temple afterwards set up himself as a goldsmith in Lombard Street. (See"Little

London Directory" of 1677, and under the head of TEMPLE in this work.)* "

Vyner or Viner, Sir Robert continued.

In December, 1665, Pepys paid in .1258 to Vyner, for Lord Sandwich's use.

It would appear from the following extract from Rev. Mynors Bright's edition of Pepys' Diary,that Samuel Pepys kept a private account at Vyner's, as well as at Stokes'. On February i, 1666, hewrites :

"I to Aid. Backwell's to set all my reckonings straight there, which I did, and took up all

ray notes." (This was probably official business.)" So evened to this day, and thence to Sir Robert

Viner's, where I did the like, leaving clear in his hands just ,2000 of my owne money, to be called

for when I pleased." No doubt this was a deposit account he had opened at Viner's. On March

29 following he notes that he went to Viner's " to look after the getting some money, that is lodgedthere, I having no mind to have it lie there longer." The next day he writes as follows :

"I out to

I.umbard Streete, and there received ,2200 and brought it home; and, contrary to expectation,received ,35 for the use of .2000 of it for a quarter of a year, where it hath produced me this profit,

and hath been a convenience to me as to care and security of my house, and demandable at two days'

warning as this hath been." Thus it would seem that Viner allowed him 7 per cent for his moneyat two days' call Again, on July n, 1666 :

" To Sir Robert Viner, and there did agree with him to

accommodate some business of tallys so as I shall get in nearly ,2000 into my own hands, which is

in the King's upon tallys ; which will be a pleasure to me, and satisfaction to have a good sum in myown hands, whatever civil disturbances should be in the State

; though it troubles me to lose so greata profit as the King's interest of ten per cent for that money."

On October 19, 1666, Pepys records that"Viner, too, and Bakewell were sent for this afternoon ;

and was before the King and his Cabinet about money."In Herbert's

"History of the Goldsmiths' Company," under date Wednesday, December n, 1666,

we read :

" Mr. Warden made known that he had delivered to Sir Robert Vyner a bag with some of

the standard pieces, and some molten silver, sealed, both which belonged to the Company."On April 5, 1667, Pepys went to see Sir Robert Vyner and made up his accounts with him to his

great content, but he remarks :

"I find they do not keep them so regularly as to enable them to do it

easily, and truly, and readily, nor would it have been easily stated by anybody on my behalf but

myself, several things being to be referred to memory, which nobody else could have done, and there-

fore it is fully necessary for me to even accounts with these people as often as I can."

On May 17, 1667, Pepys writes : "To Sir R. Viner's, with 600 pieces of gold to turn into silver,

for the enabling me to answer Sir G. Carterct's .3000."And again on June 17, 1667, Pepys records his fears "That the bankers are broke as to ready

money, though Viner had ,100,000 by him when our trouble began : that he and the Duke of

Albemarle have received into their own hands, of Viner, the former .10,000, and the latter ,12,000,in tallies or assignments, to secure what was in his hands of theirs

; and many other great men of our

masters have done the like."

In 1667, on the first appearance of the Dutch, Pepys records that the King and Court are muchtroubled at the idea that the bankers will be broke as to ready money, though Viner had ,100,000

by him when the trouble began.In June, 1673, a gilt-chased dish and gilt sugar castor, bearing his Majesty's arms, were stolen

from the Confectionary Office in Whitehall. Information concerning the robbery was to be given to

Sir Robert Vyner in Lombard Street

In 1677 great loans were advanced to the Government by the goldsmiths, on the credit of the

hereditary excise. To pay the interest of these loans terminable annuities were secured and charged

upon that revenue, by letters patent granted to the several contractors or principal creditors, who, in

their turn, made assignments of divers portions of those annuities to the persons who had contributed

towards their loans. In the Assignation Books, for the payment of interest upon the bankers' loans

from 1677 to 1688, a great many transfers were made by Vyner and the other goldsmiths, who had lent

their customers' money to the Exchequer.

By that memorable closing of the Exchequer on January 2, 1672, Sir Robert Vyner lost the sum

of ^416,724 13^. i^d, in consideration of which he was awarded .25,003 QJ-. $d. per annum out of

the Excise,-and customers were commanded in the mean time not to sue him. Whether the game

injunction applied generally to the protection of all the goldsmiths who were similarly robbed, I have

no means of ascertaining.

It is not known how long Vyner continued at his old shop after this heavy loss. We find, how-

ever, that he was in Coleman Street in 1680.

In the London Gazette of March 13, i68|, an advertisement runs thus: "Sir Robert Vynerdesires his creditors to meet him at the Cardinal's Cap Tavern in Lumbard Street, on the 251)1 Instant,

at nine in the morning to consider the best way for the satisfaction of their debts." In December of

the same year he desires them to meet him at the Vine, in Lumbard Street, for a similar purpose. Sir

Robert did so much for the church of St. Mary Woolnoth that it was called Sir Robert Vyner's

church.

He had a black boy, who died of consumption. He had his body embalmed and kept in a box

at his seat, Swakeley House, Middlesex. Pepys mentions having seen it (Diary, September 8, 1665).

He died on September 2, 1688, at Windsor Castle, and was buried at St. Mary Woolnoth's, in

Lombard Street

Vyner, Sir Thomas,Was a goldsmith of high standing in the days of James I., Charles I., the Commonwealth, and of

Charles II. He was established before 1620 in his trade.

It is recorded by Ruding that, on December 20, 1649, Lord Commissioner Whitelock reported

from the Council of State that in pursuance of an order of Parliament of November 16, for the makingof standard pieces of gold and silver, a jury of goldsmiths appeared before the Council, and were

sworn for the making thereof:

He served the office of Sheriff in 1648.

In his" Table of English Silver and Gold Coins

"Folkes (as quoted by Ruding) deposes :

" On the 6th December, 1651, Sir Thomas Vyner Kn'. and Bart. Francis Meynell, Esqrthe Sheriff of

London, and Edward Backwell, Esqr contracted with His Majesty to take in by tale, and to coin with

convenient expedition, at their own charge, into English current monies, the coins which were called

all Crown and Harp monies; receiving for the same a consideration of^5 10" for every 100 in tale,

in lieu of want of weight and expense of coinage. Upon which there was accordingly recoined, of

the said monies, the sum of ,500,000 in tale." For this statement no authority is given. The trans-

action, as Ruding observes, is very extraordinary on every account, and the date not quite two months

after Charles's escape into France, subsequent to the battle of Worcester.

Throughout the period of the Commonwealth, Sir Thomas Vyner and Edward Backwell made

joint contracts with the Protector and his Council f<5r large quantities of bullion at fixed rates, which

they had coined into money at the Mint.

In February, 165?, two thousand pounds' worth of bullion was delivered to Peter Blondeau for

coinage into milled money with Cromwell's head.

I am informed by a member of this family that Sir Thomas Vyner wrote a paper justifying the

killing of Charles I. He was friendly with Cromwell, but he subsequently quarrelled with him, andhe voted for the return of Charles II. He married Honor Humble, the daughter of George Humble,an ancestor of the present Earl of Dudley.

Sir Thomas Vyner was joint Master of the Mint with Sir Robert Vyner in the early part of the

reign of Charles II.

Sir Thomas Vyner was Lord Mayor in 1653, and during his Mayoralty, on February 8, 165^, he

was knighted at Grocers' Hall by Cromwell, when he was being entertained at a banquet, and was

created a baronet in 1660. He died on May n, 1765, and was buried at St Mary Woolnoth's, in

Lombard Street Pepys records, under date of June i, that he " with Creed to Goldsmiths' Hall, to

Wallington,A goldsmith, 1667. He is mentioned by Pepys in his Diary on September 15, 1667, in the

following humorous terms :

" He is a little fellow, did sing with a most excellent bass, and yet

a poor fellow, a working goldsmith that goes without gloves."

Wallis, Major Job,Was at the Angell (the site of No. i), in Lumbard Street, in 1677. The London Gazette of Sep-

tember 28, 1702, announces that William Wallis and Nathaniel Studley, of London, goldsmiths, were

bankrupts. They might well have been the descendants of the above in the business.

Walpole, Clark, and Sisson.

This business was established at the corner of Clement's Lane, in Lombard Street, by Robert

Surman, who had been in his early days with Caswall and Mount, and so was connected with the

South Sea Company. From 1731 to 1748 he was in partnership with Martin and Co. Shortly after

this he started a bank of his own. The firm makes its first appearance in the list of bankers of 1754,

which shows that the style of the firm in that year was Surman, Dinely, and Cliffe. In 1756 it was

Surman and Cliffe, and in 1759 the style changed again, becoming Cliffe, Walpole, and Clark. This

continued until 1769, when Cliife's name vanishes, and Walpole and Clark take in a new partner

of the name of Bourne; thus, in 1770, the firm was Walpole, Clark, and Bourne, located at 28,

Lombard Street. In 1776 they assumed a fresh partner of the name of Mr. Potts; and in 1789another Mr. Clark took the place of Mr. Potts, when the firm became Walpole, Clark, Walpoles, and

Clark. The next change was in 1794, when the firm was Walpole, Walpole, Clark, and Sissons.

That continued to be the style until 1798, when it was altered to Walpole, Clark, and Sissons, the

designation enduring until the firm came to an end in 1808.

Mr. J. B. Martin has informed me that for some years previous to (and including) 1748, Robert

Cliffe and Thomas Dineley had current accounts at the Grasshopper, but their accounts were closed

in 1749. Therefore we may fairly infer from this circumstance, that this new firm were seceders from

Martins. Cliffe had been their clerk, and witnessed the signatures of the firm 1737-40.

they may have been in business, or how long they continued in it, there is no evidence to prove.

Ward, was elevated to the peerage in 1644 as Baron Ward of Birmingham. His present representative

is the Earl of Dudley and Ward.

Warley, Nicholas,

Goldsmith, who died in 1520, requested to be buried in St Mary Woolnoth's church.

Warner, John,Goldsmith keeping running-cashes, was established in the Strand, wit'out Temple Bar, as early as

1663. He was referred to in an advertisement in the London Gazette of August 3, 1693, as authorized

to pay a reward of three guineas for the recovery of a black mare, stolen from Lord Saye and Sele's

coachman in Gloucestershire, by two highwaymen," the one a lusty full-faced man in a short bob-wig

and a large brown Riding Coat, the other a tall thin-faced man, with bob-wig ; both aged about 30!"It would appear from this that, so long as the mare was recovered, they did not care at all about

apprehending the highwaymen, who would probably re-steal the mare at the first opportunity. This

is only one of the many strange advertisements which were inserted in the papers of that date, pro-

mising a reward if the missing, stolen, or lost article be taken to the house of such and such a*

goldsmith.

l!y a cheque dated 1700 we find that John Paltock was signing for him. In 1712 two chequesof Lord Weymouth's, payable to the order of Thomas Snow, are witnessed by John Paltock for

Mr. Warner. In 1716 a signature proves the firm to have been John Warner and Co., and, later

in the same year, John Paltock and Co. Between this year and 1729 John Paltock entered into

partnership with Thomas Snow, described of Fleet Street, when they moved to the sign of Y* Golden

Anchor, without Temple Bar, in the Strand. The following advertisement appeared in the London

Gazette of June i, 1702 :

"Lost, a gold striking watch, whoever gives notice to John Warner, gold-

smith, without Temple Bar, shall have 5 guineas reward on delivery."

An interesting advertisement appears in the London Gazette of January 4, 1706, for two notes

lost, one for .200 and another for .150, under the hand of his servant T. Snow. This is the first

mention of this name, under which the business thereafter was so well known.

Exchequer in January, 1672, appears the name of Robert Welsted (su). His claim was for

,11,307 us. id., and the amount he received per annum was .678 9*. Early in 1672 we learn

from Edward Backwell's ledgers that Welsted was in partnership with one Thomas Temple. The

latter appears to have joined John Temple at the Three Tuns shortly afterwards, unless, of course, it

should happen to be the same name. His name appeared in the London Gazette of 1695 as a bank-

rupt, and notices of dividends on the estate were advertised some years afterwards.

evidently did pawnbroking business, is interesting. It appeared in the London Gazette for October 9,

goldsmith, Hath several things in his hands which he supposeth to be Pawns;He desires the owners

to come to the Mitre Tavern in King Street, Westminster, by the ist Nov. next, otherwise the samewill be sold."

At this time it was quite the usual thing for even the large goldsmiths to take in pawns. Manysuch transactions are upon record in their books.

"Jft MATTHEW WEST, Goldsmith, at the Seven Stars in Clare street, Clare Market, gives

White and Churchill, 1677. (See PETER WHITE.)

White, Peter,Was a goldsmith keeping running-cashes in Lombard Street. The first time his name has been

met with was in 1674, but there is evidence that he was located there before that date. In the

ter of the parish of St Mary Woolnoth, November 26, 1674, we find that his apprentice "threw

himself from off the top of his master's, Peter White's house, the corner house, next Exchange Alley

against Abchurch Lane." This, to a certain extent, fixes the position where he resided. From the"

Little London Directory"of 1677 we learn he was in partnership with Thomas Churchill, at the Plough,

in Lombard Street. Thus we may conclude that his house, situated between the present 67 and 68,

or probably a portion of the site of one of them, was called the Plough. By notices in the London

Gazette and elsewhere, we find that Peter White was at that sign as late as 1690. His partner,

Thomas Churchy, appears in the Directory of 1667 as Churchill, which is evidently an error.

White, Thomas,Was keeping running-cashes in 1677 at the Blue Anchor, in Lombard Street, as is shown by the

"Little London Directory" of that year, and that he was at the same sign in 1693 is determined by a

notice in the London Gazette. A plan of the parish of St. Edmund the King and Martyr enables us

to pronounce that this house was afterwards numbered 67.

Whitehall, Gilbert,Was a goldsmith, and must have been in a large way of business, judging from the sum of

.248,866 y. $d. he lost by the shutting up of the Exchequer in January, 1672, for which he was

awarded 6 per cent, interest, amounting to .14,931 19*. 4,d. per annum.

In 1678 he made a large number of assignments into the Exchequer, by transferring the moneys of

customers, taken on deposit and probably included in the above large sum, into their own names.

His troubles appear to have been considerable, as may be deduced from the following extract from

the Public Record Office (" Exchequer Bills and Answers, London and Middlesex, James II.," No. 28,

Easter, i James II., A.D. 1685) :

Complaint of "Gilbert Whitehall of London Goldsmyth," that " whereas your orator together

with Isaac Meynell and John Grimes late of London, Goldsmyths, deceased, became bound unto

Benjamine Peake of London, Merchant," in a bond for ,2000 dated October, 1671, "conditioned

of payments in the Exchequer your orator was disabled from paying the [said] debt, yet he

endeavoured by all the ways he could the payment thereof and did at severall times pay severall

sumes of money in parte thereof unto the said Benjamin Peake," amounting to ^400. Last October

Peake pressed for another ^100, promising not to sue Whitehall for one year if he paid it. Whitehall

complied with the demand;but notwithstanding this, the said Peake has lately arrested Whitehall and

keeps him in prison.

The answer of Benjamin Peake "to ye bill of compl' of Gilbert Whitehall, Compl' of London,

Goldsmyth or Banker," October 21, 1685, records that his promise was given on condition that

Whitehall should pay the quarterly interest on the bond in addition to the ^100, which he has not

done. And further," that he is the worse by knowing of ye complainant and his partners and other

goldsmithes [having?] the sum of ^5000, which money was layd up to pay his late Majesties

Customs," etc.

He thinks he will be a loser if he forbears taking action to recover his debt.

Whitehall died between 1707, the date of his will, and April 20, 1710, when it was proved. Heleft property in Derbyshire and a considerable sum of money.

Whitehead and Co.

This business was started about 1784 at 5, Basinghall Street, by John and George Whitehead. In

1791 John Whitehead, junior, was admitted into the firm. In 1795 John Whitehead, the senior

partner, retired, and in the following year it consisted of George and John Whitehead. In 1797 the

style of the firm became Whitehead and Howard, and the next year they moved to 24, Cateaton

Street.*

In 1804 they assumed a partner of the name of Haddock. Whitehead, Howard, and Haddockfailed about 1815.

continued to be until 1808, when it became Chatteris, Yapp, and Co.;and in 1812 it was Chatteris,

I have been unable to trace this banking-house further back than the year 1771, when they appearin the London Directory under the style of Raymond, Williams, Vere, Lowe, and Fletcher, transactingbusiness at 81, Comhill. Five years later they moved to No. 22, Kirch in Lane, and, in the next year,

to No. 20, Birchin Lane, the site they now occupy. In 1778 Sir Charles Raymond, Bart., retired

from the firm, and established another bank at George Street, Mansion House, under the style of

Raymond, Harlcy, Webber, and Co. In 1781 it became Raymond, Harley, Lloyd, and Cameron.The last seen of this firm was in 1789, when it was Thomas Harlcy, Cameron, and Son. Mr. Fletcher

likewise retired, and the style in 1779 became Lowe, Vere, Williams, and Jennings, the latter name

occurring only in that year. In 1786 the firm consisted of Vere and Williams only. They, however,took in some partners during the next year, as in 1788 their style became Vere, Williams, Son,

Wilkinson, and Drury. In 1790 Williams became head partner, and in 1793 the name of Wilkinson

is no longer seen, the style of the firm in that year being Williams, Son, and Drury. In 1799 the

name of Moflut is introduced ; and in 1801 an additional partner, named Burgess, was admitted. In

1810 the name of Drury disappears, whereupon the style of the firm became Williams, Son, Mofiat,

and Burgess. Between 1814 and 1818 their style was Williams, Son, Moflat, Burgess, and Lane.

The year following, the names of Moflat and Lane drop out, the firm consisting of Williams, Williams,

and Burgess. From 1824 to 1827 it was Williams, Burgess, and Williams; in 1828 Williams, Deacon,

Labouchere, and Co. ; and in 1842 it became Williams, Deacon, Labouchere, Thornton, and Co.

Thereafter the style was Williams, Deacon, and Co., until April 16, 1890, when the following notice

appeared in the Times :

Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co. announce that the Manchester and Salford Bank (Limited),

with which they have been intimately connected since its formation in 1836, having determined to

make London their head-quarters, the union of the two banks has been agreed to. The London

business will be conducted as heretofore, with the same staff, and under the same management. Tlu-

style of the bank will be Williams, Deacon, and Manchester and Salford Bank (Limited)."

It now consists of the following partners :

invest it better than by advancing to me, on the usual terms of course, part of what will be due to

week." The cheque is still preserved, as it should be, as a notable curiosity among the archives of

Messrs. Longmans' firm." The transaction," writes Macaulay,

"is quite unparalleled in the history

of the book-trade ; and both the people at Smith, Payne, and Smiths' who are to pay the money, and

my friends who are to receive it, have been much amused. I went into the City to-day to give

instructions, and was most warmly congratulated on being a great moneyed man. I said that I had

some thoughts of going to the Chancellor of the Exchequer as a bidder for the next loan."

Macaulay was, we learn, a great favourite with his bankers, of whom Mr. Henry Thornton, indeed,

was an old college friend. The latter on one occasion, at the historian's request, explained to him

at some length the distinction between the different classes of Spanish Stock ; Active, Passive, and

Deferred. "I think," said Macaulay, "that I catch your meaning. Active Spanish bonds profess to

pay interest now, and do not. Deferred Spanish bonds profess to pay interest at some future time,

Williams, Sir John,Who was styled the King's Goldsmith, and Master of the King's Jewels, lived in Elsing Spital.

Stow records a fire at his house in 1541, when many of the King's jewels were burned or "imbeselled."

Williams, Thomas, 1677. (See WILLIS.)

Willis, Percival, and Co.

This firm is descended from a goldsmith of the name of Thomas Williams, who, according to the

"Little London Directory" of 1677, was keeping running-cashes at the Crown, in Lombard Street ',

but from the parish registers we learn he was there previous to 1670, the house being afterwards

numbered 76. We find by the London Gazette of 1694 that he was still at the Crown; and on

August 16, 1697, the following advertisement appeared in that paper: "Whoever has any plate or

Jewells in the hands of Thomas Williams late of Lombard Street, goldsmith, deceased, are desired to

fetch them away by Michaelmas next; otherwise they will be disposed." In the following year we

find that Benjamin Tudman was at the Crown ; he died 1712 ; and in 1701 Benjamin Tudman, jun.,

was at the same house. When Mrs. Tudman died in 1707, she was described as the wife of

Benjamin Tudman," Goldsmith and Bancker in Linnen "

(Register of St. Mary Woolnoth). I have

never met with this trade before, and enter it here as being remarkable.

a The next item that can be ascertained about this house is that in 1708 it was conducted byMessrs. Tudman and Child, whose names we observe upon some of Messrs. Child and Co.'s cash-notes,

witnessed by Thomas Greene, who subsequently was admitted into the firm. In 1710 an advertise-

ment appeared for a cash-book of Tudman and Child, which had been lost. This was probably a

pass-book. From the same source I find the firm in 1713 was Messrs. Stephen Child (a son of Sir

Francis Child), Thomas Greene, and Mathias Eades. In 1718 Mr. Child appears to have resigned,

as the firm was then Greene and Eades. In 1733 it was Greene and Tysoe. In 1741 their signature

was witnessed by W. Willis. In 1752 the style became Tysoe, Willis, and Reade; in 1755 Willis and

Reade; in 1774 Reade, Moorhouse, and Co.; in 1778 Moorhouse, Willis, and Reade; in 1787

Willis, Wood, and Co.; in 1792 Willis, Wood, Percival, and Co. ;and in 1814 it became Willis,

Percival, and Co., which was the style of the firm until February 28, 1878, when they unfortunately

stopped payment through the failure of some Greek house, after having been in existence over two

hundred years. At that date the firm consisted of Samuel Tomkins, Samuel Leith Tomkins, and

Henry Willis.

Wood, Thomas,Goldsmith, Sheriff of London in 1491. He built Goldsmiths' Row in Cheapside, which was then

considered to be a magnificent series of houses, between Bread Street end and the Cross in Cheap.Stow thus describes them :

"It containeth in number ten fair dwelling houses and fourteen shops, all

in one frame, uniformly built four stories high, beautified towards the street with the Goldsmiths'

Arms and the likeness of woodmen, in memory of his name, riding on monstrous beasts, all which is

cast in lead, richly painted over and gilt : these he gave to the goldsmiths, with stocks of money, to

be lent to young men having those shops &c." Wood Street, Cheapside, was named after him. Stow

says :" His predecessors might be the first builders, owners and namers of this street." He was an

especial benefactor to the church of St Peter-in-Cheap.In the Great Fire of 1666 these houses were all destroyed, and the goldsmiths thereafter settled

in Lombard Street

Woodward, Richard and Thomas,Bankers of Exchange Alley, Lombard Street Their names are first met with on cash-notes

between 1727 and 1730. They failed March 24, 1731. The following announcement is found

in the Universal Spectator, March 27, 1731 :

" On Wednesday about Four in the Afternoon, Messrs. Richard and Thomas Woodward, Bankers

in Exchange Alley, stopped payment : Against whom a Commission of Bankruptcy is since taken

out Their credit was exceeding great, and the confusion occasioned hereby is inexpressible ; but

'tis believed, that on the Delivery of the last Flota's Treasure, they'll be enabled to make good all

their engagements, they having lent great sums of money to Persons interested in the aforesaid

Treasure."

Guildhall on the 23rd instant to prove the same. In the Gazette of May 4 an advertisement desires

that all creditors whose books are not settled and balanced would leave the same at the shop of the

Woodwards, in order to have the same adjustedIt is extremely probable that Richard Woodward was formerly at Atwell's, and after his failure

continued the business, as in 1713 we learn from an advertisement in the Daily Courant that two

tickets in the ;io lottery for the year 1712 had been lost, and were to be brought to Richard

Woodward at Mr. Atwell's shop in Exchange Alley.

In April, 1734, they paid a third dividend of 5*. in the pound.

Woolfry, Nathaniel, and Co., 1702. (See KIRWOOD.)

Wragg, Samuel,Goldsmith, 1700, of the Golden Lion, in Fleet Street.

Wright and Co.

Many will remember very well the banking-house of Messrs. Wright and Co, It originated in

a goldsmith's business carried on by Mr. William Wright as early as the year 1699. In 1708 the

business was conducted by Mr. Richard Wright. On November 22, 1715, the loss of ten orders of

the Classis Lottery of 1712 was announced in the London Gazette, and Mr. Wright offered five

guineas reward for their recovery. On a draft dated 1729 I have seen the following endorsement :

" To be paid only to Mr. Anthony Wright, goldsmith, Great Russell Street, Covent Garden. Witness

for Anthony Wright, H. Gyles."Another is addressed in 1754 to "Anthony Wright, Esq., at y

e Golden Cup, Common Garden

(si'f), London."

When Anthony Wright moved from Great Russell Street to Ye Golden Cup in Henrietta Street,

Covent Garden, is unknown ; but he appears to have turned his attention rather to banking than to

goldsmithery. In the year 1759 his name first appears amongst the London bankers.

In 1775 he took his son into partnership; and in 1785 the style of the firm became Anthony,

..Francis, and Thomas Wright. In the course of that year Anthony Wright most probably died, as in

1786 the firm was Francis and Thomas Wright. In the following year Francis Wright retired from

the bank, and Thomas Wright took into partnership Messrs. Selby and Robinson ; the style becoming

Wright, Selby, and Robinson. In 1816 it was Wright, Wright, Wright, Selby, and Robinson. This

house was known as Wrights and Co. until November, 1840, when they stopped for a million sterling;

and the Commercial Bank of London opened a branch on the premises, which continued until

1 86 1, when the bank stopped payment. The following year the London and County Bank openeda branch in James Street, Covent Garden, in hopes of obtaining some of the old business ; and,

finding it successful, in 1864 they took possession of the old premises, 5, Henrietta Street, formerly

the Golden Cup, where they have carried on their operations to the present time.

Young and Son.

The firm of Young and Young was started in 1795 at 37, in the Borough, by Messrs. Weston,

Pinhorn, Golding, Mewsome, and Weston. Sir John Pinhorn severed his connexion with Messrs.

Wilkinson and Co. to join Mr. Weston in forming this new bank. In 1808 the name of Goldingdoes not appear. The style of the firm otherwise continued unaltered until 1817, when the Directory

discloses that it had become Weston, Pinhorn, and Weston.

From 1818 to 1814 the firm was Sir John Pinhorn, Weston, and Son. In the following year

it became Weston, Young, and Bostock. In 1831 the name of Bostock disappears from the list,

and that of Weston in 1847, when their style became C. A. Young and Young Junior. In conse-

quence, it is said, of the death of his son, Mr. Young in 1849 relinquished the business, which was

taken by the Ix>ndon and Westminster Bank, who opened a branch there. This was the first private

bank that was absorbed by a joint-stock bank.

Registred on & payable out of Severall Branches of Our Revenue and otherwise And although the

present Posture of Our affaires cannot reasonably spare so greate a sum as must be applied to the

Satisfaction of those debts Yet considering the great difficultys which very many of Our Loving

Subjects (who putt their moneys into the hands of those Goldsmiths & others from whom We received

it) doe at present life under almost to their utter mine for want of their said moneys We have rather

chose out of Our princely care & compassion towards Our people to suffer in Our owne Affaires then

heires & Assignes an annuall sum or paym' answerable in value yearly to the Interest of their

respective debts at the rate of Six pounds f Cent ^ Annum for all such moneys as are due unto

them, The consideracon whereof induced us to command Our high Trear of England to cause all

the Accompts of the said Goldsmiths to be stated and made up by Richard Aldworth Esqr

Our Auditors) to the first day of January One thousand Six hundred Seventy Six Which having been

accordingly cast up and Settled, it appeares thereby that there is due & owing by Us unto Our trusty

" The Last place the De-ceased was at was the Antwerp Tavern near the

Royal Exchange, where he said he was going to meetsome bad people, and asked the man of the Houseto go along with him, but he could not ; he had about

him a good number of bonds, and desired a Pin, with

which he pinn'd up his pocket. He had that Dayobserved a Fellow dogging and watching him about

the Alley ; as he was counting over about ,3000 in

Bank notes, he said to those about him, Do ye knowthat Man there ? They said No ; I believe he is

some Rascal, reply'd he, for he has watch'd me a

good while. He is supposed to be returning homeabout 1 1 of the clock, when he was murdered ; for

about that Hour two Boys in a Boat near that Place

heard a Man cry out, and beg most vehemently to

have his Life spared. Upon which they called out

Murder, but no Help at all was near. Saturday

morning early, his Cloaths, his hat and wig werefound upon the Place, all bloody, and cut in several

places, and the Wall was besprinkled with Gore."

Bankers, of 68, New Bond Street.

"Lately Sir Herbert Mackworth's bank, at Swan-

sea, forwarded by the mail coach from thence to

their banking-house, in London, 2000 guineas ; they

were packed up tightly in strong brown paper rouleaus,

and inclosed in a small hamper. As far as Bristol

they were carried safe, but there in shifting and

dividing the luggage, it fell to the lot of this little

hamper, as it was judged too heavy for the mail-

coach, to be put into that part called therumble-tumble

of another coach belonging to the same proprietors,

which sets out the same time as the mail, but does

not travel quite so fast. When the coachman cameto unload at Thatchem he found some loose guineasffi the bottom of the rumble-tumble, on which he

immediately called Mr. Froment, his master ; they

searched, and found the contents of the hamperworked out 383 guineas were all that could be

gathered in the bottom of the rumble-tumble, the rest

were all distributed on the road ; by this time it was

night, and it was in vain to go and look for them :

However, a tradesman's rider came in, and he was

bragging of his good luck, for that he said he had lost

on the road, a few days before, 30 guineas, out of a

hole in his pocket, he had now had the good fortune

to pick up 29 on that same road;en which they were

immediately challenged as the property of Sir Her-

bert Mackworth : What, said the rider, shall I have

the ill-luck to lose, and never have the good luck to

find ? Besides, how do I know they are not the

identical guineas I have lost ? There is no swearingto a guinea. Accordingly he kept the treasure, andsaid he would justify it in any court in the kingdom.The remainder was never seen nor heard of, but it is

supposed fell the fortunate prey of the poor Irish

haymakers, with swarms of whom every part of this

road at that time abounded." From the Yorkshire

" Mr. William Hale, formerly Partner with Sir

Stephen Evance, a Banker, in Lombard-street,

having, by some indirect Means, possessed himself

of a Frank for a Letter signed by Tho. Gibson,

Esq., one of the Representatives in Parliament for

Marlborough, who lives in Lothbury, crazed out the

Word Free, and over the Name drew a PromissaryNote for 64oo/. payable to one Watson, which he sent

last Saturday to Mr. Hoare and Company, Bankers,

in Fleetstreet, and they gave him their own Notes

for it, and the same Day he got them exchanged at

Mr. Alderman Hankey's, and at Mr. Brassey's the

Banker's, for their own and Bank Notes, with which

he Yesterday bought some India and South-Sea

Bonds. Yesterday Afternoon, Mr. Hoare's People

sent the Note to Mr. Gibson, who was much surprised

at the Sight of it, having never given such a Note,

and not knowing the Person 'twas made payable to;

but observing, by Help of a Candle, the Word Free

crazed, the Fraud was discovered : On which im-

APPENDIX (UNINDEXED}. 453

mediate Notice was given, to prevent Mr. Hoare's

Notes circulating ; and it being found what Numbersand Dates the Bank Notes which had been givenhim at Alderman Hankey's and Mr. Brassey's bore,

they went to the Bank to stop Payment, but found

about 6507. had been received in the Morning: Soon

after a Person came to the Bank to receive two of

the aforesaid Notes, each being for zoo/, and he being

stopped, carried them to a Coffeehouse where Mr.

Hale waited for him, and where he was seized, and

most of the Money or Value found upon him, and he

is since committed to Newgate ; the young M.m he

employ'd to fetch the Money from the Bank, is

secured in the Compter."
