[22] In reference to this state of things, the following important evidence was given by the governor and deputy-governor of the Bank of England:—
"You had only £1,600,000 in the banking department for the payment of your liabilities?—Yes.
If anybody had called upon you for anything beyond that million and a half, you must have stopped payment?—Yes, we must.
At the same time, if there had been no separation between the two departments, and the Bank of England had been conducted on its old principle, instead of being within one million and a half of stopping, there would have been very nearly £8,500,000 of treasure in your vaults?—We should have had £8,500,000 in our vaults."—Lords' Report, 1848.
