It thus appears that the largest proportion of small deposits is made in Scot- 
land, more than three-fourths of the whole being in sums under 20/., a cir- 
cumstance which may be ascribable to the facility afforded by bankers, as 
already noticed. The smallest proportion of deposits of lowest amount is 
found in Ireland, a fact which probably results from the extreme poverty of 
the peasantry, and which deprives them of the power of making any savings, 
causing the savings’ banks to be the resort of classes in more easy circum~ 
stances than the generality of those who make deposits in England. 
The average balances to the credit of each depositor in the different divi- 
sions of the kingdom have been (discarding all fractional parts of a pound )—
