THE BANK OF KILLARNEY. “ To speak of the banking system in Ireland during the late war, and, indeed, at the present day,”” said an Irish gentleman, one evening, at Brooke’s, “is as bad as talking of a@ fire toa man who has been burned out; and lost alt his property in the flames. To such an extent was this species of robbery carried, at one time, that provincial or country notes were issued for sums so low as three-pence, whilst those for six shillings were actually accounted high.’ Another gentleman having expreased awaze- ment at this state of things, the first speaker gave the following instance of the truth of his assertion: {nm the town of Killarney,’’ said he. “ was one of these banks, the proprietor of which was a kind of saddler, whose whole stock in that trade was not worth forty shillings; but which forty shillings, if even so much, was the entire amount of bie capital in the banking concern. ~ Lonce accompanied a large party of Eng- lish ladies and gentlemen to that enchanting here, having amused ouselves for a few we were on the point of returning to Dub- lin, when one of the party recoll that be had in his possession a handful of the saddler’s paper. Accordingly, we all set out, by sy of —< to have them exchanged, our principal object being to see and converse with the pro- prietor of such a bank. ‘‘ Having entered the shop, which barely suf- ficed to admit the whole company, we found the banking saddler hard at work making a sadd One of the gentlemen thus addressed hi “** Good morning to you, sir; I presume you are the gentleman of the house?’ - “ At your service, ladies and gentlemen,’ re- turned the saddler. << Tt is here, I understand, the bank is kept!” eontinued wy friend. ~*You are just right, sir,’ replied the me- chanie, ‘ this is the Killarney Bank, fur want of s better.” “My friend then said : ‘ We are on the eve of quitting your town, and as we have some few of your notes, which will be of no manner of use to us elsewhere, Ill thank you for cash for them.” “The banker replied. ‘Cash! plase your honor, what is that? is it anything in the leather line”?
