    Abelard Bonaventura
    This document provides a summary of the Handbook of London Bankers, which details the history of London bankers from the early goldsmiths in 1670 to 1890. The author compiled lists of goldsmiths and bankers from historical directories, endorsements on old financial documents, and other sources. He organized the work like a dictionary, with entries for individual banks under the styles by which they were last known. The book was enlarged from the first edition in 1876 with additional research, including access to title deeds that identified occupants of houses in Lombard Street. It aims to be a comprehensive reference on the early London banking industry.

    DURING the time I set myself the pleasurable task of investigating the early history of
    Child's Hank, had occasion to look through a vast quantity of old cheques, bills, and
    I

    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


    1677 the second did not appear
    in ;

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

    isa matter of regret to me unbroken sequence of dates cannot be obtained


    that an

    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
    forgenerously 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 have (with few exceptions) omitted
    I

    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.
    take this opportunity of thanking
    I all the Bankers and other friends who have so
    generously supplied me with information when solicited.
    The copious reference Index will be found useful.

    The firm of Adey, Macgeorge, and Co., which was started at a a, Old Bond Street, in 1800, was
    of short duration, as it does not appear in the list of bankers for 1805. The name of Adey had been
    associated with the firm of Boldero, Kendell, and Co., from the year 1770 up to 1800, which rather
    points to the conclusion that he left the latter firm to start a bank in Old Bond Street.

    Alexanders and Co.,


    Of 24, Lombard Street, bankers and bill-brokers, started in business in 1806, by Mr. William
    Alexander joining John Rickman, the style of the firm being J. Rickman and Co. This firm was
    dissolved in 1810, and Mr. Alexander carried on the business by himself, under the style of
    Alexander and Co., at 33, Lombard Street
    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
    Cleverley Alexander, as Alexanders and Co.

    r
    whom the earliest mention found is in 1687. They were located
    e bankers and goldsmiths, of
    Lombard Street. From 1687 to 1705 the firm consisted of William Atwell and
    '.change Alley,
    Adrian Courtnay. The latter died in August, 1705, and was buried in St. Mary Woolnoth's.
    In 1714 the firm became Atwell and Hammond; the business was afterwards conducted by
    William 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."

    Austen, Maunde, and Austen.


    This firm was of short duration. We have been favoured by the sight of a promissory note of
    the Horwood Well Company, Wincanton, for i u., domiciled at their house in October, 1807.

    They were established at 10, Henrietta Street, Covent Garden, between 1807 and 1814.

    Ayton and Co. 1774 and 1785-98. (See LEES.)

    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 "John :

    Buckner 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. to 5.?. 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 that he received
    " of the Committee of Parliament old
    ledgers by 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 ledgers
    are 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
    Henry Cromwell.
    Charles, Duke of Richmond ;

    Samuel Pepys, the Diarist.
    The Earl of Sandwich.
    Hyde, Earl of Clarendon.
    Sir Josiah Child.
    Thomas Chaffinch, closet-keeper to Charles II. ; besides a great number of other people of note,
    who are often mentioned by Pepys in his Diary.
    In addition to the above, the
    ledgers show the accounts of the East India Company; the Gold-
    smiths' Company, and other City companies ; Sir Thomas Vyner and Sir Robert Vyner, the gold-

    Back well, Alderman Edward continued.


    smiths Thomas Wood of Littleton and John Houblon,
    ; ;
    afterwards Sir John Houblon, Lord Mayor
    and first Governor of the Bank of England, upon* the site of whose house the present Bank of England
    was 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.

    Back well removed to Lombard Street about the year 1654. His shop was at the corner of Change
    Alley, and was called the Unicorn, the site being now occupied by No. 69. Messrs. Martin and
    Co. 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 Pepys
    said 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 " Thence :

    to 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 :

    ;

    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, poor
    Robin 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 and the edges are made to turn up."


    so thick,
    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.
    a Privy Seal issued October 21, 1661, in the favour of Backwell, ^26,156 was ordered for
    By
    the pay of the garrison of Dunkirk. The garrison consisted of 4400 soldiers, besides officers, and
    six 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 we
    could 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 had
    advanced. 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 more
    of 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, when
    the 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
    payment
    of this annuity, bearing the autograph of the King, is now the property of Mr. Charles
    Tyringham
    Praed, who is a descendant of the Backwells. A copy of this curious and interesting document may
    be seen in " Ye Marygold," and in the Appendix to this book.

    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
    " but he
    been subjected to ; 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 bankrupt
    Hewas 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.

    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 Company
    of the Bank of England. It was enacted that the
    management and government of the corporation
    should be committed to the Governor and twenty-four Directors, to be elected between the 25th day
    of 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 Bank of England hereby give notice that they have empowered
    of Directors of the
    their cashiers, Speed, Mr. Robert Hedges, and Mr. Thomas Madolees, and one of them
    Mr. Thomas
    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 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 There were numerous

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

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

    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 4000
    a 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 you :

    will subscribe foure thousand pounds for mee, and pay in one thousand pounds on my account as the
    Act directs."
    There another curious letter written about the same period, by Mr. Locke to a friend at
    is
    " Stories of Banks and Bankers " " Your
    "Amsterdam, which I quote from Mr. Martin's 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.

    noting a few of the principal events.
    The charter was renewed in 1697 until 1711 ; in 1708 it was further continued to 1733 ; in 1712
    to 1743 in 174* to 1765 ; in 1763 to 1786; in 1781 to 1812 ; in 1800 to 1833; in 1833 to

    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 1797. On February 26 c* that year the Gazette announced
    in

    that 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 draper
    of thename 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
    " " " The
    garden of Sir John Houblon, is taken from Lawson's History of Banking :
    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
    :

    calledSt. 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 made
    considerable 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 London
    Was 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
    1 694, as at that date we find John Freame a goldsmith in Lombard Street, and in
    prior to the year
    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. 56
    until 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 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 Day
    after 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 descended from the Throne and, giving the Friend a hearty shake of the hand,
    restraint,
    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 the sleeves had long cuffs, with three
    coat, with large pockets ;

    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-

    Barentine, Sir Dm,


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

    fair 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.

    smith, of Lombard Street. He died in 1541.

    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." On
    November 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' Company
    I 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
    isthe 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. He
    was 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 banking
    firm of Messrs. Hanbury, Lloyds, and Co. amalgamated with them and thenceforth it was known ;

    as 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.

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

    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 living
    will vouch for its
    authenticity. 'The late Sir B M
    always used to say,
    " n banking! D
    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
    here's a man just come in with a cheque for ^540, and I do not
    '
    running to me, and said, Lord, sir,
    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
    lightning. We had, only a week or two before we stopped,
    it at last it came across me like a flash of
    ;

    taken in a new clerk to replace one that had died, and the cashier, when he went to dinner, by
    mistake 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 Adey
    disappeared 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 became
    extinct 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

    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
    If any person can

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

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

    The firm of Bosanquet, Salt, Bosanquet, and Whatman originated (according to
    Salt, Harman,
    particulars kindly supplied to by that me

    Bowles, Beachcroft, and Reeves. But I fail to find any mention of them in the Post Office

    before 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 had
    been 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 known
    by 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 BK
    In 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 1843
    Mr. 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 amalgamate
    their 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 Weeping
    Cross. Mr. J. S. Salt was for many years the head of the London and Stafford banking-houses. On
    his 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 probable
    that the wisest course has been taken for the interests both of the partners and their clients.

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

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

    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.

    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,

    whose body was found at the back of Primrose Hill, supposed to have been murdered in October,
    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
    following
    advertisement 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"

    St. Denis, bearing his head in his hand.

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

    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 great
    a 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 by
    the 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 have drunk out of it at her coronation.
    said to
    When Lord Mayor, he was accused of rooting up all the gravestones in the Grey Friars,
    in 1546,
    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
    perhaps in reference to his armorial bearings.
    also, It must be noted that this mark
    occurs 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, 67, Lombard Street,
    i.e. and afterwards in No. 66 until 1816 ;

    after which date they cannot be further traced.

    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 by
    the 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 Stephen

    32, Abchurch Lane. In 1823 the style of the firm became Messrs. Brown, Janson, and Co., which it
    has been ever since.
    It consists of the following partners :

    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,
    sizedman, 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.
    1720, the South Sea Bubble year, a customer of theirs made ,250,000 in differences in the
    In
    South Sea stock through their hands. Sir George Caswall, who was an M.P., was expelled the House
    and 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, they
    received 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 "lucky
    comer," 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 400
    per 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

    was sorely pressed, and had to resort to numerous artifices to delay the payment of money. One
    " " "
    It employed a number of
    of these is explained in Macleod's Theory and Practice of Banking :

    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 bagsof 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 means time was gained the friends of the Bank rallied round it, and made large
    this ;

    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.

    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 being
    carried on under the style of Chambers and Usborne until 1749, after which date we see no more
    of them. Abraham Chambers died in 1756.

    This institution, which is altogether a new idea, was invented and originated by Mr. James Hertz,
    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 upon
    the 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 and the soundness of the principle on which it is based
    feature of novelty :

    is from the analogy of all commercial undertakings, which show that there is a great mine
    apparent
    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.
    " meet exist at the time of the
    Although a balance sufficient to it may 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 and Co.


    This house originated in the goldsmith's business carried on for many years in Fleet Street by
    a 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 back as 1559
    as far ;
    for which information my best thanks are due to Mr. Williams of that
    distinguished company.
    On 1559, when the Goldsmiths' Company furnished a guard of honour from their livery
    July i,
    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." name
    After him there were two of the 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' Company
    we 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 apprenticed
    for 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
    and pawnbroking accounts mixed up with banking accounts.
    replete with goldsmiths' 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 ; 1698-9 (by which office he was out of pocket
    and Lord Mayor in

    ,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 on
    salt 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 Government
    between 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

    director of the East IndiaCompany.
    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. He
    was 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 by
    the 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 presence
    of a large number of people, f
    The old ledgers of this firm are replete with accounts of people famous in the history of England
    in 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
    Two of their sons, Barneby and William Backwell, were taken into the bank, and they both became partners and

    " "
    anecdote is by Count Grammont in his
    told Memoirs of the Court of Charles II. :

    "Charles, however, could jest upon his difficulties. He once asked Stillingfleet why he always
    read 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 always
    ask for money, and I have so often asked for it that I am ashaped to look the members in

    Barbara Villiers, Duchess of Cleveland.
    John Dryden, the poet, who is said to have deposited .50 in the hands of Mr. Blanchard,
    goldsmith, next door to Temple Bar, for the discovery of Lord Rochester's bullies.
    On December 18, 1679, writes Cunningham in his Handbook, in Rose Street (between King
    Street 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, by
    Wilmot, 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

    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.
    say that she wrote a cheque upon the Bank of England for ,\ 00,000 ; but
    Some people 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,
    It is
    curiously illustrative of the evil spirit which, only a century ago, influenced public bodies.
    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 It was arranged that this business should
    armed, Child's waited the arrival of the enemy.
    be transacted by one of the partners, and that a confidential clerk, on a given signal, should proceed
    with 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 made
    extensive 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 upon
    the 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 run away with her, to be sure," was the prompt reply of Mr. Child, little thinking at the
    I

    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 amourous fugitives 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 of G m a late event his
    Marquis is affected
    chiefly by ; Lordship being the adopted
    choice 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 among
    the pursuers. Lord H
    b t, it is said, feels a severe disappointment in the choice Miss C d has
    made, on very good terms with the fair deserter and her relatives."
    as he considered himself

    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 Lady
    Sarah 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:

    An anecdote by one of the customers of the bank that, rather
    is also told more than half a
    a considerable sum of was anxious to meet with a London
    century ago, his grandfather,
    having money,
    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
    deposit
    The
    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 1681 ; and in July of the same year Francis Child took John
    June,
    some years under the style of Child
    Rogers into partnership with him, and the firm continued for
    and Rogers.
    Child died in 1713, when the firm consisted of Robert Child, Francis Child, Henry
    Sir Francis
    Sir Robert Child died in
    Rogers, and Henry Morse, under the style of Sir Robert Child and Co.
    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 Barneby
    Backwell. 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 1756
    William 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.

    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 whom
    the clerk had received the payment of the .10."

    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 John
    Lister 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 John
    Brown 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 Wood
    retired in 1849; and in March of that year William Shepherd, George Addison, and Edward
    Robinson 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

    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 sendall 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 become
    such 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 by
    cheques 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
    -cor] LO.VDO.V BA.VKERS. 39

    Clearing House continued.


    extent, say, of ,400, the walk-clerk would take such drafts, and the balance would be paid by bank
    notes 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. The
    amounts of these drafts are taken down upon sheets of \> 'caring-clerk, and the cheques
    are then sent over to their respective banks to be cancelled by the firm. At this establishment they
    settle thewhole 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 they
    received 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 ; an undertaking devised by

    Foster, a goldsmith of Lombard Street, November 9, 1649 ("Books of Comm
    6 "-
    Mint by for
    the advance of money ").

    Coggs, John,
    Was a goldsmith keeping running-cashes, " London "
    according to the Little 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 gives
    a 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."

    Coggs, John continued.


    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 subscribed their names with " I allow this account." It is of occurrence
    they frequent
    in the ledgers of Messrs. Child and Co.

    In addition to the Earl of Litchfield, and Earl Deloraine, the Earl of Ailesbury banked with them,
    as proved by a draft of Mr. Edw*- Ryder's in 1687, addressed to Mr. Cratford, desiring him to pay
    is

    Mr. John Coggs for the use of the Rt Hon * the Earl of Ailesbury the sum of three hundred
    1

    pounds.
    The "
    following interesting advertisement appeared in the London Gazette of May 7, 1702 : I

    on the day of Her Majestie's Coronation, in or near Westminster Hall, a diamond stomacher with a
    row of rose diamonds down the middle, with knots of small rose diamonds on each side ; in the
    setting their being a joint betwixt each knot. They were all set in silver anil sewed on black ribbon,
    also a large rose diamond set in silver and fastened to a bodkin. Whoever brings them to Messrs.
    Coggs and Dann, goldsmiths, over against St. Clement's Church in the Strand, shall have 40 guineas
    for 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* John Tylney, Esq., commonly called

    Colebrooke and Co.


    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
    42 LONDON HAXKERS. [COL

    Colebrooke and Co. continued.

    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 1740
    the 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, from the "Annual Register" "At a meeting of the creditors of Sir
    1773, we learn :

    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 ^120,000
    on 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."

    of Richard Colvill, of Newton Colvile, in the Island of Ely. He was a friend of Samuel Pepys, by
    whom he is mentioned several times in his Diary. The first transaction he records as having had
    "
    with 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 how :
    " !

    Colvill talks of the business of publique revenue like a madman, and yet I doubt all true ; that nobody
    minds it, but that the King and Kingdom must speedily be undo

    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 my :

    little new goldsmith's, whose wife indeed is one of the


    prettiest, modest blark women that ever I saw.
    " To
    I paid for a dozen of silver salts

    :

    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." He
    went again on August 1 1, and to his great joy he will make above 100 by one transaction. On
    "
    August 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 praised
    for 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 one
    time.

    Majesty granted the usual bond, dated April, 1677, unto John Lyndsey, as due to Dorothy
    his 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 possible
    that this severe loss was the cause of his death.

    has absorbed the old private banks of Messrs. Hankeys, and Messrs. Heywood, Kennard, and Co. ;
    and it likewise took over the business of the Bank of London, when that bank failed in 1866 ; but the

    Cooper, Gissingham
    (Often spelt Gifflingham in the directories), a goldsmith and banker in the Strand, at the corner
    of Arundel Street. The earliest date that I can meet with is 1735, when his name appears as an
    endorsement to a draft. I have seen it on others up to 1761, in which year one is endorsed " Pay :

    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 hackney
    coach 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 given for the performance of the same.
    is Proposals are to be had at the Office Gratis."
    The next advertisement selected by us is of a different character. It appeared in the
    Daily
    Courant of January, 1714 " To be sold a good brick house, etc., at the end of the five fields going
    :

    to 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 ^ *74 8 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.

    lie had been clerk in (urn to Middleton and Campbell, Campbell and lirucc, George Campbell, Campbell and
    CoutU, and CoutU and CoutU.

    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 happened
    to 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. Martin
    in 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 one
    of these occasions the manager of a City bank, in retailing the news of the day, accidentally remarked
    that 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 notes
    from 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
    to his account, being the produce of the sale of an
    ^200,000 estate, recommended several high
    personages to patronize the Bank in the Strand. Among some of the customers who did so patronize
    it 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 election
    for 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 mortification
    of the King,
    subsequently failed, considerably in his Majesty's debt."

    The King, however, oj.cneJ an account with Mr. Drummond, at Charing Cross, with whom he
    banked until his death.
    " the
    Messrs. Coutts and Co. have in their possession an old guinea, called 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 leu-, my man, is half a crown for you
    : I

    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
    his widow the whole of his properly, amounting to ^900,000 ; a sufficient proof of the confidence
    left

    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
    Ciprianiand 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."
    would be extremely interesting to see a list of the many historical and distinguished persons
    It

    who 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,
    ; ;

    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 banking
    firms of Messrs. Davison and Co. in 1816, and of Hammersley and Co. in 1840.
    The firm at the present time consists of the following partners :

    Cox and Co.


    The
    business of this house originated in 1758, when Mr. Richard Cox, who had been for some
    time 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 Mr. Greenwood, who had been assisting in the manage-
    his cousin,
    ment of the business for some years, when the firm became Cox, Cox, and Greenwood. In 1790
    Mr. 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., by
    which 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, retaining
    and occupying such portion of the old Craig's Court house as was freehold.

    Cunliffe (Roger), Sons, and Co.


    Messrs. Roger Cunliffe, Sons, and Co. have informed me that their house was established in
    London about the year 1815, as a branch of the Manchester House of Cunliffe, Brooks, and Co.,
    who were originally manufacturers.
    The firm consists of the following partners :

    Roger Cunhflfe.
    Roger Cunliffe, Jun.
    John Benjamin Charles Heath.
    Curries and Co.
    This house appears to have sprung into existence in 1773, the year after the failure of the banking-
    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.

    and the business was carried on by
    the firm, the other partners until 1816, when this banking-house
    ceased to exist, and many of the customers were recommended to transfer their accounts to Messrs.

    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. Child and William Backwell as to the division of profits ; and it was
    Agatha
    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.

    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 endorsed: "Witness for Messrs. Amyand, Staples, and Mercer, Geo. Fawell."
    is

    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, Gracechurch
    Street. 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 Woodville,
    :
    J.
    for Messrs. Dimsdale, Archer, and
    Hyde."
    Sir George Amyand, Bart., married in 1771 Catherine,
    only daughter and heiress of Velters Corne-

    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 ad Dimsdale. The firm was
    >i !

    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 amalgamation
    took 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, who
    flourish 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 :

    Herbert Barnard.
    Joseph Cockfield 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 name of Dixon for that of Clayton, as junior
    the substitution of the

    partner, in 1791. became


    In 1802 Dawson,
    it 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 1819
    Brooks 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 they
    still conduct the business.

    the 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 gotten
    into 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., Temple
    Bar, 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, by
    appointment, 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).

    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 1792
    the 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 nothing
    can be ascertained about them after 1797, in which year they ceased to exist. They probably
    stopped
    payment during the money panic, which arose from the drain of gold sent abroad for subsidies and
    loans 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 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 and would ask no questions. It was particularized as being for the
    bank notes lost,
    sum of jCioo, dated February 1721, and payable to Henry Collett or bearer.
    9,
    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 Drummond
    became head In 1835 Henry Drummond became head partner, and occupied that position
    partner.
    until 1847 which year Andrew Mortimer Drummond became head of the firm. Since 1804 it
    ;
    in
    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. Drummond
    was 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
    " the
    title and estates in "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 :

    Ducket, Laurence,
    Goldsmith. It is recorded by Stow, in his "Survey of London," that in the year 1284, the
    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.

    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
    thisyear 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 change
    occurred by Mr. Tibbitts' name disappearing from the list, and they were again located at 9, Mansion
    House 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 continued
    until 1825, on December 14 of which year they failed.

    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

    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 upon
    every road :

    "
    Whereas Mr. Herbert Jones, Attorney at Law, in the town of Monmouth, well known by being
    several 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

    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 andJ. 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 Steyning
    in 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

    moved 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.

    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 gold
    and silver out of the kingdom into foreign parts, for culling out the weightiest coins, for melting
    down his Majesty's money into bullion, and for giving value above the prices of his Majesty's Mint
    for 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

    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
    witness T. Huck for Messrs. Vere,
    September, 1752, the following endorsement: "J. Meredith,"
    and " Robt.
    Asgill, and Co. ; and upon a similar
    note of Child Backwells, in February, 1754 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 not seen, and the business was conducted at 12, Birchin Lane, by
    Hallifax is

    R. 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 purchased
    the 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 which
    are 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 sign
    of the house. The Salutation Tavern also formed a portion of the site, having been in the rear of the
    Black Lion.

    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 and oppressions than any other people
    cruelties

    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-one
    who 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.

    Goldsmiths continued.
    Mr. H. D. Macleod, in his " Theory and Practice of Banking," gives the following definition of
    the word " bank :
    "

    " It
    popularly supposed that the word bank comes from the Italian banco, a bench, or table,
    is

    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 show what the real meaning of bank is, not only
    shall
    ' '
    in Italian, but as it was understood
    in English when it was first used, as applied to money dealing.
    " Muratori himself derived from the Gothic or Scandinavian
    says that the Indian baiica, or banco, is

    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
    " banker" is to create credit.
    public, in exchange for which credit is created, and that the business of a
    Charles I., with the weak idea of improving the approach to St. Paul's, determined to clear Cheapside
    of but the goldsmiths, those who refused to remove being cast into prison.
    all 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. They
    received 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 wishing
    to 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 Government
    Lord 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-
    " " "
    I will be as
    ing his Majesty that he had hit on a good notion. Odd's fish cried his Majesty,
    !

    good asmy word, you can find the money." Sir Thomas then informed the King that the bankers
    if

    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 made
    Lord 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 money
    upon 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.

    Gorton, John,
    Goldsmith, 1668, at the Queen's Head, near Bedford House, in the Strand. In the London
    " a
    Gazette of October 19 of that year, he offered to pay a reward for the restitution of plain gold
    cup and cover, with a gold salver, all about 45 ounces, having on the side of the cup and in the
    middle of the salver a coat of arms engraven ; the coat of arms being 3 bucks' heads with a coronet
    on the top and a Flourish, belonging to the R' Hon. the Earl of Devonshire, together with
    a coat of armes, belonging to His Grace the Duke of Ormond, and on the top of the cover a snake
    and a leaf."

    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, preserved in the front shop.
    is

    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 into in the first edition of this work, have been cleared up and rectified by
    I fell

    Mr. Robinson, of 19, Fleet Street, through his having discovered a quantity of old papers and books
    in thebank 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 pay
    a 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 1713
    to 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 1741
    it 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 signature
    of 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

    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 expended
    in 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.

    and in July, 1576, he is spoken of as "lately executed." But in the Newgate Chronicle it is stated
    that on May 30, 1584, he was drawn from Newgate to Tyburn, and there hanged, headed, and

    quartered, for clipping of coin, both gold and silver.


    His ready money, plate, jewels, etc., in London was valued at .532 gs. nfif., and bonds were
    found in his house to the value of ^1530 17.?. yd. This was a considerable sum for those days, and
    he must have been fairly well off, which makes it difficult for us to understand why he should have
    risked his life for the small sums he could have gained by clipping the coins.

    great desire to erect a Bourse, or Exchange, in Lombard Street. he submitted to Cromwell,


    In 1537
    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 goldsmithand merchant of great renown in the time of Elizabeth, carried on business at the
    sign of the Grasshopper, inLombard 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 merchants who traded to the East Indies, by which
    have been one of the earliest
    ventures he accumulated vast riches. "
    in his History of Banking," states that upon one
    Lawson,
    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 known
    as Gresham College.
    " "
    Upon reference to Lysons's Environs of London," it will be seen that between 1557 and 1570
    Heston and Osterley came into the possession of Sir Thomas Gresham, and the Park was enclosed by
    him. 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 improvement
    iomas had made at her suggestion. Towards the end of the seventeenth century, Osterley Park
    into the possession of Sir Francis Child, whose descendant on the female side (the Earl of
    y) still possesses it
    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
    74 LONDON BANKERS. [GRE GRO

    Gresham, Sir Thomas con tin tied.


    Somerset House, and entered the City by Temple Bar, through Fleet Street, Cheap, and so by the
    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, by
    a 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. They
    are delivered in Latinand 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 forlife, 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, you
    have 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

    you know
    '
    wine, to the health of the Queen, his mistress.
    '
    My Lord Ambassador,' said Sir Thomas,
    I 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 orange
    into England.

    time of Charles
    II.

    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
    " In
    Rye House Plot. It runs thus : 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 was given him upon Haies's correspondent in Holland for money ; he was desired not
    credit
    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 know
    all 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 impetuous
    to 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 by
    irrumstances. 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 bring
    him 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,

    find that in 1776 they had moved to 3, Freeman's Court, Cornhill, and the style of the firm had
    become 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 and
    Co. In 1781 that name disappears from Halliday's, which had become Halliday, Duntze, Saunders,
    and Hamilton. They became extinct after 1782.

    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 Hugh
    Hammersley, 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. The
    affairs 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.

    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 name
    of 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
    " bank "
    at a shop nearly opposite No. 7, Fenchurch Street, and that the house was established as a
    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,
    "a
    states that very fine onyx is to be sold, found under the ruins of an ancient structure, supposed
    to 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, which
    had 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 lately
    lived with a Gentleman in Rood Lane, and soon after he was turned he made free to imitate his
    away,
    Master's hand writing for the above sum, which was paid on
    Monday, the 5th inst. On the day following
    he 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, went
    to Rochester, and there got on board a Dutch turbot hoy, bound to Holland. Sir
    John Fielding's
    men gave this relation of his rout,
    having pursued him all the way, and if the forgery had been
    discovered sooner, he certainly must have been taken."

    and in 1789 Thomas Harley, Cameron, and Sons was the style of the firm. In the course of that
    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. When
    Messrs. 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

    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.
    " circular note "
    The 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 :

    Heywood, Kennard, and Co.


    This banking business was started by Joseph Denison and Co. in 1806, at 16, St.
    Mary Axe.
    The list of bankers in the London Directory for 1814
    gives them a different address, i.e. 106,
    Fenchurch Street. In 1837 the style of the firm became Denison, Hey wood, Kennard, and Co., and
    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.

    A goldsmith, between 1684-91, at the Black Lion, corner of Salisbury Street, Strand.

    Hill, John,
    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 which he immediately
    ;
    after
    started 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 Hind
    and 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:

    Topladye, late partner with Captain Hind, goldsmith, doth abscond from his bail, who are bound for
    him for considerable sums of money ;

    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 Back well 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
    advertise in the London Gaulle for " concealed estate " of the said Hinton's. In 1702 he
    again any
    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.

    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
    .
    from whom (says our author) I am inclined to think
    II.,
    that our family came sixth son of William Hore of Rishford, was in 1654 a
    originally."Ralph,
    "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 executing
    the office of master worker of the Mint, in satisfac'ion of so much
    money by them expended and paid
    to several officers in passing warrants, and for fees
    paid to officers of the Exchequer on receipt
    of ^2000, being to each of them for their service in that Commn., .103 14*. t>d."
    ^1000
    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

    gold left to for cash paid in and out


    be coyned," and 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
    " of ale nut brown" is mentioned as used
    carrying 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. Recd y" full of this bill one Thousand pounds for M r
    . 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.*
    Richard Hoare, goldsmith, was classed among the "retainers general" in the list of those who
    Sir
    were 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 the Rings placed in the 155. column were of the 20^. sort, and given to 2 (but which
    of
    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 years
    of 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 on
    Sir 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 :

    " k
    Whereas a person came to Sir Richard Hoare's shop on Friday loth of Sept 1708 about 6. oC
    in the evening to receive jioo for a note of the said Richard Hoare, which note is at present
    mislaid. Therefore, if received it will come to the servant who paid him the money,
    the party who
    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
    ;

    " servant"
    invariable custom, a
    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 :

    " Sir Richard Hoar, from Fleet Street, in the Chancell."


    1718, Jan. 13.

    England.
    A dated November, 1717, drawn to the order of
    draft, 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
    " lr Ir
    St. "Dunstan's Church.: 1754, Oct. 21, S Richard Hoar, in S 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 :

    allpersons 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,
    sending to the said Sir Richard Hoare for a large quantity of Gold and for ten Bank Notes of ^10

    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, probably
    before 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 encourage
    '

    this undertaking, are desired to send their contributions to Richard Nash, Esq., Francis Sanguier, Esq.,
    and Dr. Oliver, at or Mr. Benjamin Hoare, banker, at the Golden Bottle, in Fleet Street,

    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, was admitted as junior partner, the firm then consisting of Henry, Richard, Richard, and
    jun.,
    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

    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 firstmarriage 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.


    * where
    Clement's Church in the Strand to Mrs. Susannah Austen, widow, who lately kept Pontack's,
    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 Pepys
    and 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. (?).

    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 Nugent
    Kirkland, 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 Nugent
    Kirkland retired, and John Kirkland moved to 6, Whitehall, and in 1831 to 80, Pall Mall, Schomberg
    House.
    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 War
    Office.
    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
    *I'ontack's was a famous eating-house in Lombard Street, started by a Frenchman named Pontack. The Royal
    Society usually dined there at the end of the seventeenth century.

    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, into partnership his son, Percy Shute Lawrie, who, on the death of Andrew
    when he took
    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 Directory
    in the of bankers is sufficient to prove that they were established about that date, but Mr. C. Hop-
    list

    kinson of opinion that they were established as army agents and bankers only about 1820.
    is In 1817
    they moved to 34, Pall Mall, which they vacated in 1819, when they went to Regent Street From
    1826 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.

    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,
    " Haorn."
    the firm was the same, with the exception of Mr. Home's name being spelt The first was
    probably correct, it being the mode in which they spelt their own names in writing endorsements. In
    1733 we nn d the name of N. Amber signing for the firm subsequently
    ;
    it became Green and Amber,

    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 :

    *
    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 Horneby
    was 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.

    In 1701 the firm was Roger and John Hudson. I have several drafts between the years 1701
    and 1714 bearing their endorsements. In the London Gazette of August 24, 1706, Roger Hudson
    advertises 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, wn o was probably the

    Jones, Loyd, and Co.


    firm of Jones, Loyd, and Co. was started by Joseph Jones and Co. in Manchester, and a
    The
    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

    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
    " Before I answer that "
    transactions. 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 he nb fide transactions?" This was so unexpected
    a 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 away
    in 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 bag
    across the counter, with its contents in the same condition as they were left the night before, he said,

    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
    " I think
    inapplicable to banking, he declared on that occasion :
    joint-stock banks are deficient in
    everything requisite for the conduct of banking business except extended responsibility."

    Kirwood, Sir Matthew, Robert Jenkes, and Co.


    Were described as goldsmiths and bankers of the Eleece, in Lombard Street. Their business
    appears to have originated with Nathaniel Wollfry and Co., who carried on their trade at the same
    sign from 1702. In 1695 Nathaniel Wollfry signed for Sir John Sweetapple of the Blackamoor's
    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 on
    the principal banking business in Gloucestershire and parts of Worcestershire for upwards of a century
    and 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 martyrs
    who suffered in Smithfield during her reign, and the charred post to which they were supposed to have
    been attached was not many years ago dug up opposite the bank.
    A dated December 31, 1880, announced the retirement of Mr. Lacy, sen., and the
    circular,

    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, when
    it was taken over by Messrs. Glyn and Co.

    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 England
    " 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

    Roettier.

    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 datesbeing 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 they
    would give ^50 reward, and ask no questions. Between 1730 and 1740 it was Nathaniel Brassey
    and 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

    1813, subsequently went to Ireland as manager of a joint-stock bank, and then returned to London.

    set to work to form a model one and the result was the London and Westminster Bank.

    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

    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 Hundred
    a 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.

    Marlowe, John,
    Goldsmith, at the Spotted Dog, in Lombard Street, 1686-97. He was sometimes addressed as
    Captain Marlowe. I have been unable to identify this sign, further than that it was in the parish
    of Str Edmund the King and Martyr.

    Of 6, Berners Street, OxfordStreet, 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
    power of attorney for the sale of stock standing in their names in the Consols. That
    co-trustees to a

    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.

    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.
    Ikept 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 my dear man, that we brought nothing into this world, and it is
    the text,
    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 prevent
    the 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 deposit
    them with Mr. Rowland Stephenson " !

    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. supposed to have been established by Sir Thomas Gresham, that eminent
    It is

    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 College
    is 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 Grasshopper
    became 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 interesting
    "
    and 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
    itwas 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 chirp
    of a grasshopper, turned a'side from his path through a meadow, and found Gresham, a castaway
    infant. It is very well known that Gresham's father filled the office of Cambium Regis, or
    Royal
    office 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 displeasure
    of 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, which
    shows that Char. Duncombe and Richard Kent were at that address in Lombard Street. Between
    C.resham's time and that date nothing can be told of the house.

    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 Back well'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. )owle I :

    "
    You may pay y" one hundred and fourscore pounds for y* Fine to Mr. Valentine Duncombe,
    Y* Grasshoper in Lombard Street, whose acquittance for
    y' same shall bee accepted

    "
    WEYMOUTH."

    A it was for the use of the


    receipt for this amount, stating 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 by
    R. 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's
    immortalizes 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.
    John Buncombe also is said to have had a large sum of his own, and another belonging to the
    Sir

    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 appearto 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. He
    died 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 payments
    from 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 many
    times 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.
    Avery 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
    custom prevalent at that period
    appeared in the London Gazette of October 4, 1720, in proof of the
    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. He
    retired 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. He
    had 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

    ;

    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 change took place until 1823, when James Martin retired, and was succeeded in 1824
    further

    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

    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,

    Masterman and Co.


    The can be found of this banking-house appears in the London Directory of
    earliest record that
    which year Mildred and Walker were at 2, White Hart Court, Lombard Street; having
    in

    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 appears
    as 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 Bank
    in 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 a
    December, 1865, slight drain of gold for
    export occurred, and early in 1866 the Bank of England raised its minimum rate of interest to 8 per
    rent.
    trust then ;
    became general
    a panic occurred in which Overend, Gurncy, and Co. suspended
    payment ;
    and
    stoppage was followed by several joint-stock banks, including the English
    in May this

    Joint Stork, formerly the private bank of Olding and Co., and the Agra and Masterman's Bank just
    described.

    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

    I draft, dated 1704, of Silvanus Sevan's, which is endorsed over to Robert Ffowles
    have seen a
    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
    "
    my ma Mead and
    8
    cheque received, by James Travers, for . Messrs. 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
    " I
    who gave pass-books to their customers ; as in 1715, Lady Carteret, writing to Mr. Child, says :

    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 meet every day about our Treasurer's or his people's paying no money l>ut
    I

    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 peopleMaynell the goldsmith to go away with ,10,000 per annum,
    will suffer
    he do nowget, 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.

    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 :

    " who

    for

    persons
    or turn'd black, or dark brown colour, will find entire satisfaction, as a great many have already, in the

    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 (" Exchequer
    Bills 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.

    office
    from Lawson's " History of Banking
    "
    taking I abstract :
    -

    "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
    Mr. Bartholomew Burton at the Exchequer, Mr. John Knight at the Custom House, Mr. Edward
    Mompesson and Mr. Richard Smith of London, Goldsmiths, (together with Sir Francis Child, Sir

    Rates of Excise." 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, who
    took the matter up vigorously with a view to putting a stop to the issue of such an unlimited number
    of notes. It ended in the following enactment being passed :

    "
    That during the continuance of the corporation of the Governor and Company of the Bank of
    1

    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
    Ransom, Morland, and Hammersley, at 57, Pall Mall, with whom he continued from 1786 until 1819.
    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,
    when the firm became Duckett, Morland and Co. ; and in the following year, which was marked by a

    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, left a number of bequests.

    Murray, John,
    a banker, at the Crown, in Fleet Street, in 1763. Mr. Noble, in his
    " Memorials of
    \V.is Temple
    Bar," 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, I Jeet 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 appear
    in 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. inthe 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 ;

    beth's goldsmiths.

    occurs "

    Some ten years ear.ier, in the reign of Edward VI., a goldsmith of the name of Mostian is men-
    It occurs in the "Unpublished Records of the
    tioned. City of London," a paper privately printed by
    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. He
    was 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. Myddelton

    Neale, James, Pordyce, and Co.


    The house of Samuel Roffey, Neale, James, and Fordyce was established as bankers at the sign
    of 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 and
    a 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 him in possession of nearly
    anticipated, leaving 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 said by Mr. Martin to have visited a Quaker for the purpose of borrowing money ; but the
    is

    worthy man wastoo 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
    "
    Alex r 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

    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 :

    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 man :

    was 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 same month it is recorded "A motion was made before the Barons of the
    6th 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 proofs
    and claims under the commission amounted 10^181,330 19*. 5</. ; and, the assignees having pro-
    duced remained in their hands of .33,019 15*. id., whereupon a dividend
    their accounts, a balance
    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. The
    action 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, and
    Hoare 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 " The
    appeared in the London Gazette .-

    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. On
    "
    asked what particular use he could have for a single pillow As a narcotic" said he ; " for if

    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 goldsmith
    at 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
    Courant testifies that he was there in 1713 and Sir Roger Hudson had a clerk named William
    Daily ;

    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 Street, between 1622 and 1655.


    Lombard His name appears in a return of a
    subsidy levied in Langbourne Ward in 1628-9, a l so 1640, m
    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.

    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; and
    Mr. 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 "History
    of the Skinners' Company," "a master of Defence and e'ght men were substituted for the eight men
    with 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 doing
    the 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 1770
    their 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 place
    "
    in 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. He
    possessed 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 his house, his drawing-room, his library
    you enter 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,
    Sheridan wrote to Rogers from his house in Savile Row: "They are going to put the carpets
    1816,
    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.
    OnSunday, November 24, 1844, an extraordinary robbery took place at their bank.
    It that the strong-room had been opened, and that property in bank notes, gold,

    Otto
    Was 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.
    " Annals of the
    Ruding (in his 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 subsequently
    confirmed 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-
    afterhe 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.

    Owen, William,
    (ioldsmith, between 1720 and 1733, at the Wheatsheaf, in Cheapside.

    Paddesley, Sir John,


    A goldsmith, sometimes called Paddisle and Patesley. He was constituted King's Exchanger by
    an indenture in 1421, was Master of the Works of Money in the Tower of London, and Mayor in
    1440. By his will, dated March 7, 1450, he bequeathed all his lands and tenements, etc, in the
    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 a cash-note of the year 1712, upon which his signature appears, signing for his master,
    upon
    Mr. Warner. In 1716 the same source shows that he had partners, as his firm was styled John
    Paltock and Co. About 1728 they amalgamated with Thomas Snow, the goldsmith ; and the firm
    then became Snow and Paltock.

    Pardo, Thomas,
    Was
    a goldsmith keeping running-cashes, in 1677, at the Golden Anchor, in Lumbard Street,
    afterwards No. 9. This end of the street, it may be explained, was demolished in order to make
    King William Street.

    Pares and Heygate


    Started as bankers at 63, Aldermanbury, about 1805.
    They moved to 25,New Bridge Street,
    Blackfriars, in 1817; and in 1833 they again moved to 6, New Broad Street. In the following year
    they became extinct.

    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
    " Commissioners and
    lodged in the Exchequer that he was one of those who were constituted
    Governors 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 destroyed
    in 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.

    For the above information I am indebted to Mr. T. C. Noble.

    In Mr. Bright's edition of Pepys' Diary, under date October 21, 1661, occurs the following
    "
    characteristic estimate of this goldsmith 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.

    I'js. f)d., for distribution as New Year's Gifts in 1558.

    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
    since a Silver Tankard was left with John Partridge, Goldsmith, at the Wheat sheaf in Cheapside, to

    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. Thisan name
    exampleis 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.

    Pewtress and Robarts

    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 The
    name 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 goldsmiths
    did for the sake of convenience.
    In 1680, we learn the London Gazette, he was at the Golden Dragon, in
    by an advertisement in
    Fleet Street ; but the next lime his mentioned December, 1697 we find he has moved to
    name is

    the Sun, without Temple Bar, as will be shown by the following advertisement from the same source,
    " Lost some time
    dated April 3, 1704 :
    since, betwixt Temple Bar and Ludgate, a malt ticket,

    Temple Bar, shall have 10* reward. It 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.

    Pinfold, Edward,

    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., who
    had 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 1782
    it
    comprised only Down and Pell. In 1785 it became Down, Thornton, and Free; and in 1793 they
    took in Mr. Cornwall as junior partner. The style of the firm continued unaltered until 1816, when
    the 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. Theobject 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 Bank would not let this concern fall through.


    statement, the
    " 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
    ;

    by the bankers and the merchants present, the directors authorized their Chair
    in the first instance 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

    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 morning
    the 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-pound
    notes 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.'

    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 property
    to 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 Wax
    Work depot of Mrs. Salmon, who may be said to have been the Madame Tussaud of the time. In
    " " In the
    his Memorials of Temple Bar," Mr. Noble writes reign of Queen Anne, at the Golden

    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 by
    Mr. Praed, when it was pulled down, and the present bank built, in 1802, from designs by Sir John
    Soane.
    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,
    ithas 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 and the coachman put the key into his
    strapped,
    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 John
    Hollingsworth, 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 standing
    as 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
    Prescott, Cave, Buxton, Loder, and Co. Itnow consists of the following partners :

    Charles Andrew Prescott.


    Henry Warner Prescott
    Francis William Buxton.
    Wilfrid Hans Loder.
    Alfred Powell Buxton.
    Charles Cave Cave.

    Preston, John,
    Goldsmith, circa 1661, of St. Clement Danes.

    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, doing
    business 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. The
    Rev. 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 hands
    in the 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. He
    died 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." endorsed by him.


    It is
    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 No. 562, Trinity Term,
    III.,"
    1694, we read the complaint of the Attorney- General, on behalf of King and Queen, against
    the
    "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
    taken into custody by the Serjeant-at-Arms. Mention is made of Bernard Taylor, gentleman, as
    Price's trustee.
    The answer of Thomas Price admits the fact that he, "being a banker," had received large sums
    of money, and treats of his marriage settlement and his interest in Irish iron-works. Both he and
    John had, according to the details given, much property in London.

    (For particulars of this house see under the name of HAMMERSLEY.) From that date to 1814 the
    firm was known as Ransom, Morland, and Co., carrying on business at 56, Pall Mall.

    In 1819 Sir F. B. Morland left the firm to establish a bank of his own under the style of Morland

    located.

    Remington and Co.


    The banking
    business of Messrs. Remington, Stephenson, Remington, and Toulmin originated at
    the Unicom, in Street, in the firm of Knight and Jackson.
    Lombard About the year 1729 they appear
    to have been doing a considerable business ; we may therefore assume for them a greater antiquity.
    The an example of the curious business undertaken by some of the bankers in the
    following is

    early days. It is March 22, 1735


    extracted from the London Gaztttc of :

    " The
    Nobility, Gentry and others who have viewed the original Picture of Cupid and Venus by
    Michael 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. They
    further 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. He
    was 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 was simple enough. He had sealed packets with the names and addresses of the
    bills

    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 second meeting of creditors was held in Basinghall Street, when the total
    16, 1829, a
    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 Banking
    firm 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. How
    far 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
    REM] LO.\'DO.\' 7>VLYA'A'.V. 139

    Remington and Co. continued.


    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 suspend
    their 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 money
    much 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 thousand pounds 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 ... ... 39,000 J

    Amount of Brazilian Bonds ditto, ditto ... ... ... ... ... 60,000

    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 cheque
    dishonoured, 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 12,000

    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. Of
    these 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 Wednesday
    last, 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 Friday
    with 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 Stephenson
    arrived. 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.

    " 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
    Treasurer of St Bartholomew's Hospital, also had a narrow escape.
    securities, as It seems that the

    morning of his absconding they suspected something wrong, and with some difficulty prevailed on
    the 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 cheque
    was 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 presented
    the 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 possession
    of 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 many
    thousands, 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, know not how to act. The usual security attending property
    people
    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. Among
    these 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

    note for payment, which on two grounds, first, because he had the assurance of Stephenson
    is resisted
    that 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 Fauntleroy
    is generally allowed not to have been near so fatal to
    public credit as this delinquency of Stephenson's
    is 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.

    the firm until 1776, when Mr. Buller retired. It was then Lemon, Furley, Lubbock, and Co. In

    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,
    Lubbock, Bosanquet, and Co. ; and in 1800 the Bosanquets retired from the association, Mr. Samuel

    In i So i a further change is recorded ; the
    style of the firm became Forster, Lubbocks, Forster,
    and Clarke. In 1814 it was Sir John Lubbock,
    Lubbock, Forster, and Co. ; in 1820 Sir
    John William
    Lubbock, Forster, Clarke, and Co. ; and in 1835 Sir John William Lubbock, Forster, and Co. In
    1860 they amalgamated with Messrs. Robarts,

    and Co., and carried on business at 15, Lombard Street, where h*ve been located ever since.

    Robarts, Curtis, Were, Hornyold, and Berwick, according to the list of bankers in the London
    Directory, 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 were
    located 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 1818
    it became Sir William
    Curtis, Robarts, and Curtis ; and from 1834 until 1860, the year in which they
    amalgamated with Lubbock, Forster, and Co., the style of the firm was Robarts, Curtis, and Co. The
    following 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 steps
    were 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 keeper
    of 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 by the bankers, including messuages in Abchurch Lane, called the Golden
    purchased
    Ball, afterwards theRose 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.

    As 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

    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 [A.D. 1683-4], a writ is issued to John
    II.

    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, they
    had 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

    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" ;6o "he believes on Mr. Thomas Row."

    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.

    again on May 25, 1704, occurs the following notice : 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.

    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.

    Saint Dunstan

    :

    memoranda concerning him, gleaned from Herbert's " History of the Goldsmiths' Company " :

    " The honours


    paid by the Company to St. Dunstan showed their high veneration of that saint.

    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
    and gold, in the King's name, paying yearly into the Exchequer
    vessels of silver 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, inwhich 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.

    This firm was started at 65, Lombard Street, in 1791, by Messrs. Harcourt, Blake, Sansom,

    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.

    Sapte, Muspratt, and Co.,


    Of 77, Lombard Street. Their business has been conducted upon these premises since 1787,
    when Vere, Lucadon, Troughton, Lucadon, and Smart started as bankers, occupying the premises
    vacated in that year by Boldero, Kendall, and Co. This house was before 1770 known by the sign
    of the Vine.
    In 1805 the firm was Veres, Lucadon, and Smart. In 1809 considerable changes took place, as

    Sapte, Muspratt, and Co. continued.


    the Directory for the following year shows that the firm consisted of Veres, Smart, Baron, Hawkins,

    In 1818 was Veres, Baron, and Hawkins; and in 1824 it became Veres, Ward, and Co. That
    it

    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
    Messrs. Fullers and Co., of Moorgate Street, under the style of Fuller, Banbury, Nix, and Mathieson.

    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 remnant
    of Marsh, Sibbald, and Co.'s connexion, after the execution of Fauntleroy. They commenced
    business at Holies Street, Cavendish Square, and in the following year they took the premises they
    now 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 :

    Lady Scott.
    His Grace the Duke of Fife, K.T.

    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,
    lean, slender, and of middle size, did on Monday the and Instant, Steal out of the seat of his masters

    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.

    be given to his friends. By his will, dated March 20, 1487, according to Herbert's " History of the

    Shales and Smithin


    Were 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 appear to have started for themselves as goldsmiths, at the Unicorn, in
    his business they
    Lombard Charles Shales was a party to a deed of sale and bargain in which he and others
    Street.

    purchased the lease of the premises known as the Unicorn, in Lombard Street, lately in the possession
    of 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 money
    " " att
    of y* said Mr. Kent ; while that of Charles Danvers deposes that he (Danvers) received money
    a goldsmith's shoppe in Exchange Alley near the Royal Exchange."
    would be interesting to know whether this said Richard Kent was the partner of Duncombe,
    It
    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 Queen
    Anne 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 Sons


    Were 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 poor
    of 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

    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.

    the same to be paid within three weeks after the testator's decease (" Calendar of Wills, Court of

    Husting, London ").

    Shore, Matthew,
    \\'as a goldsmith
    residing in Lombard Street about 1461. He was the husband of the celebrated
    Jane Shore, who was mistress to King Edward 1 V.
    Mr. Martin says that it has been stated, though there does not seem to be any evidence to sup-
    port the tradition, that Matthew Shore carried on the business of a goldsmith at the Grasshopper.
    That he lived in Lombard Street is recorded in the ballad entitled "Jane Shore" in Percy's
    "Reliques":
    " In Lombard Street I once did dwelle,
    As London yet can witness welle ;

    Where many gallants did Iwholdc


    My beauty in a shop of golde.
    "At last my royall King did dye,
    And then my dayes of woe grew nighe ;

    n crook-back Richard got the crowne,


    King Edward's friends were soon put downe.

    " I penance did in Lombard Street,


    In shameful! manner in a sheet."

    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.

    Smith and Payne, carrying on their business near Coleman Street, Lothbury. The same authority
    shows us that in 1766 they had removed to 18, Lombard Street, a house known by the sign of the
    Hare.
    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

    Smith, Payne, and Smiths continued.

    in
    It was this Thomas Smith who
    gradually added the new business of banking to that
    for many years.
    of mercer and from documents in of the Nottingham Bank we conclude that some time
    ;
    possession
    before 1688 the bank was fairly established. At his death [in 1699 he was succeeded in the bank by
    his eldest son Thomas, who was in 1717
    High Sheriff of Leicestershire, having considerable property
    in 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 withMr. 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,

    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 banking
    house to be rece* 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

    new tenants were in to take
    the haste his 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 and the door shut. Attending to see the event, she thought she heard an uncommon
    let in,

    and stepping over the way, and listening, was struck with the sound of Murder pronounced in a

    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 Stop
    thief he was instantly taken. The other she seized by the throat herself, and dragged him to her
    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."

    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 morning
    at Mr. Stracey's house in Guildhall Yard in order to receive proposals for due satisfaction of all their

    just debts." He died in 1715.

    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 theCock, the shop of John Snell. U'e haveascertained that he was there

    { 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 upon the site of the present No. 58, which is the next house eastwards
    Street,
    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,
    " Whereas
    1666, that he had sustained some severe losses :
    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.

    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.

    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

    rted business as bankers at 79, Comhill, in 1796, having seceded from the firm of Staples,

    secessions were too much, and that they ceased to exist.

    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 German
    merchants 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 ;
    two be secured up the same is now called the old Hall."
    the other ;

    Cunningham was assured by his friend, Mr. T. Hudson Turner (than whom, he
    writes that 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. r
    These merchants were settled in London as early as 1250. In addition 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 any
    houses or warehouses in London, but lodged during their stay with the brokers who sold their produce
    for 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 of them
    all

    to quit her dominions. From that time the Steelyard was never used for a like purpose.

    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'.

    " Little London "
    The name of Snow does not appear in the 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 by
    Alex. 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." Sampson
    Gideon, 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 bankruptcy
    and 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 was then known as Snow, Denne, Denne, and Sandby. In 1798 Mr. J. D. Paul was
    firm
    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's
    Printer having left him ^180,000 on condition that he should assume his name. After 1843 we
    find 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

    ;

    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 they
    were occupying the same premises. The name does not find record after 1873.

    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

    make some particular trials what proportion that money bore to the old King's money, and they
    found 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 though the King did deposit the French money in money in pawn all the
    that,
    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 having :

    to 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
    " At dinner
    goes into a calculation about the Harp and Cross money, which I quote 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, 750,000 in twelve years' time lost but
    if 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 nothing
    in myself, I do not dispute it."
    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.

    "
    resulted 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

    [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 a higher price than was allowed by the Mint. For this he was
    gave
    informed against in 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
    " For

    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. He
    likewise 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 drunk
    that's 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 1779
    the 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 and
    Winchester Street. The London Gazette of June 20, 1670, however, announced that they had removed
    to 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 " Little
    up himself as a goldsmith in Lombard Street. (See
    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, he
    " I
    writes : to Aid. Backwell's to set all
    my reckonings straight there, which I did, and took up all
    " So
    ray notes." (This was probably official business.) 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 lodged
    there, I no mind to have lie there The next day he writes as follows " I out to
    having it longer." :

    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 and security of my house, and demandable at two days'
    as to care

    warning as this hath been." Thus


    would seem that Viner allowed him 7 per cent for his money
    it
    " To Sir Robert
    at two days' call Again, on July n, 1666 :
    Viner, and there did agree with him to
    accommodate some business of so as
    I shall get in nearly ,2000 into
    tallys my own hands, which is
    in the King's upon tallys ; be a pleasure to me, and satisfaction to have a good sum in my
    which will
    own hands, whatever civil disturbances should be in the State ; though it troubles me to lose so great
    a 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."
    OnApril 5, 1667, Pepys went to see Sir Robert Vyner and made up his accounts with him to his
    " I find
    great content, but he remarks 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 Pepys writes "To Sir R. Viner's, with 600 pieces of gold to turn into silver,
    17, 1667, :

    for the enabling me


    answer Sir G. Carterct's .3000."
    to
    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 much
    troubled 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 granted to the several contractors or principal creditors, who, in
    letters patent

    their turn, of divers portions of those annuities to the persons who had contributed
    made assignments
    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

    ,-
    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 Vyner
    desires 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, 20, 1649, Lord Commissioner Whitelock reported
    on December
    from the Council of State that in
    pursuance of an order of Parliament of November 16, for the making
    of standard pieces of gold and silver, a jury of goldsmiths appeared before the Council, and were
    sworn for the making thereof:
    .Sir John Wollaston, Knight and Alderman.
    Thomas Viner, Alderman.
    Thomas Noell, Alderman.
    Francis Ash.
    Thomas Smithies.

    John Perryn.
    Richard Morrell.
    Samuel Moore.
    George Snell.
    Richard Gibbes.
    Matthew Mason.
    Alexander Jackson.
    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 and Bart. Francis Meynell, Esq r the Sheriff of
    Thomas Vyner Kn'.

    London, and Edward Backwell, Esq contracted with His Majesty to take in by tale, and to coin with
    r

    convenient expedition, at their own charge, into English current monies, the coins which were called
    all Crown and monies receiving for the same a consideration of ^5 10" for every
    Harp ;
    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
    ALj LOXDON BANKERS. 171

    Vyner, Sir Thomas continued.

    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, and
    he 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
    the burial of Sir Thomas Viner, which Hall and Haberdashers' also was so full of people, that we were
    fain for ease and coolness to go forth to Pater Noster Row, to choose a silke to make me a plain

    Walker, Richard,

    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."

    Angell (the The London Gazette of Sep-

    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
    thishe 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 In 1756 it was Cliffe.

    Surman and Cliffe, and in changed again, becoming Cliffe, Walpole, and Clark. This
    1759 the style
    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 1789
    another 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.

    Walsh, John,
    Goldsmith, circa 1370. Edward IV. is
    reported to have bought a silver-gilt cup of him, decorated
    with enamel.

    Were at the Ram, in Lombard Street, in 1677, keeping running-cashes; but how much earlier
    they may have been in business, or how long they

    Ward, Sir William,


    and jeweller to Queen Henrietta Maria about 1630. He became wealthy, and retired

    Goldsmith, at the Golden Cup, in Shire Lane, Temple Bar. In 1721 he was in Chancery Lane,
    and advertised for a lost lottery order. He was bankrupt in 1722.

    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 cheques
    of 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.

    from Edward Backwell's ledgers that Welsted was in partnership with one Thomas Temple. The
    latterappears 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.

    Webb, Robert,

    evidently did pawnbroking business, is interesting. It appeared in the London Gazette for October
    9,
    1690 :

    " Whereas Nathaniel


    Oldfield, administrator to Robert Webb, late of St. Martins in the Fields,

    against Abchurch Lane." This, to a certain extent, fixes the position where he resided. From the
    " "
    Little London of 1677 we learn he was in with Thomas Churchill, at the Plough,
    Directory partnership
    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 year, and that he was at the same sign in 1693 is determined by
    London Directory" of that 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
    for the payment of .1000 and interest thereof, at a day now long since past ; and although by stopp

    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
    " that
    done. And further, 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 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. He
    left 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 Haddock
    failed about 1815.

    continued to be until 1808, when it became Chatteris, Yapp, and Co. and in 1812 it was Chatteris,

    Williams, Deacon, and Co.


    I have been unable to trace banking-house further back than the year 1771, when they appear
    this
    in the London Directory under Raymond, Williams, Vere, Lowe, and Fletcher, transacting
    the style of
    business 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)."

    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,
    and will not. Passive Spanish bonds profess to pay interest neither now nor at any future time. I
    think that you might buy a large amount of Passive Spanish bonds for a very small sum."

    Williams, Thomas, 1677. (See WILLIS.)

    Willis, Percival, and Co.


    This firmdescended from a goldsmith of the name of Thomas Williams, who, according to the
    is

    "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 thehands 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 by
    Messrs. 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.

    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
    e
    y 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 opened
    a 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.

    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 Golding
    does 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.

    the paym' of the moneys due from us to Several Goldsmiths & others upon Talleys Struck and Orders
    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

    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 Esq r (one of
    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
