the rate in England & Wales has been 4 4f” Cent. where the Distribution has. not exceeded 
£10,000 4 Annum. and for every Sum after the first £10,000 and under £ 20,000 3 
Cent. and for every Swn above £ 20,000 and under £ 30,000, 2} a Cent. and for every 
Stim above £ 30,000 2 4? Cent. In Scotland with the exception of Edinburgh & Glasgow’ 
which are on the same terms as in England § Wales, the Rate is 6 af Cent. In addition to 
this emolument the Distributors derive a further benefit by trading with the Money, a mea-
