Bank notes. They should be cut in half to prevent robberies

IN order to guard against the Loss of BANK NOTES sent by the Post, it is thought necessary to repeat the Advertisement from this Office of the 9th of February, 1782, by recommending it to all Persons who may have Occasion to send Bank Notes by the Post, to cut them in Two Parts according to the following Specimen, exactly where it is marked with a Black Line, and send them by different Posts; first writing th.e Name, Date, and Year at one End of the Note, and the Number and Letter at the other End; by which Means each Part will contain a sufficient Specification of the Whole, and prevent Difficulty in the Payment of it at the Bank of England to the right Owner, in Case of the Loss of the other Part.
