Bank of England will offer note payable at seven days after sight

Upon a Representation from His Majesty's Postmaster-General, That it is apprehended that the Expectation of finding Bank Bills in the Letters, gives Encouragement to the frequent Robbery of the Mails; The Bank of England, to contribute what in them lies to put a Stop thereto, and to render their Bills of no Significancy or Value to those who are guilty of such flagitious Practices, do declare, That for the Benefit and Security of those who have Occasion to transact Money Affairs in the Country, they will from and after the First Day of January next (instead of Three Days Sight Bills) give to such as desire the same, their Bills payable at Seven Days after Sight to ________ or Order, whereby in Case of a Robbery, the Proprietors will have Time to give Notice thereof; and if the Indorsements are duly filled up, as they expect they should, they can be of no Use or Service but to the right Owners.

And whereas they may fall into those Hands who may be ignorant of the Form of endorsing them, a Bank Indorsement will be printed on the Back for the Parties to fill up, and to be repeated as often as Occasion requires.
