If not, and if it were regarded as one whole not to be

dispensed with, that in one parcel

of the consolidated 3 per Cents should be paid

off but on one of the half yearly days in use for the payment of the

dividends in these Annuities, and that day move

them in twelve months of

posterior by one day at least, above a twelvemonth, to the first

day on which the notice to that effect shall have been made public, the

consequence will be, that upon the first parcel so paid off the loss of

time and interest will amount to a full twelvemonth: but

that, upon

all subsequent parcels, the loss of time will be

such, as can not amount to less than a

a year and a quarter upon the whole. The paying off the

first parcel say the 25 th of December 1804 the last day,

on which notice can be made public, will be the 24 th of Dec r 1803. For paying off the

second parcel the earliest day that can be appointed will be the

26 th of June 1805. Should a parcel of the

magnitude required by the Act (£500,000) have come in or been

made sure by the 25 th of Dec r 1803, notice may be giving appointing, as the day

of payment in respect of that sum, the 26 th of June 1805: But, on this transaction, 1-1/2

all but a day, would be lost. If again, by the 24 th of June 1804, a further sum happened to have

been collected or made sure, and notes given accordingly for the 24 th of June 1805, as before
