| Description | [Since I have been here the complaints for want of change, both in Silver and Copper, have been very great, and the manufacturers are obliged to give a considerable premium for what they get. Mr. Ryle I saw lately at Macclesfield wishes you would send the draft of a form you would wish a Petition [for a coinage] to be drawn in, which he could get every manufacturer there to sign. The same could be done at Liverpool and Leeds. [Note written by M.B. thereon:] If Government will not furnish Coin, they will be under the necessity of coining Tokens for them: if I send them a draft it will be known, and that will destroy its effects, as it has done.] |
