There was an actual want of Money in Specie in the Kingdom , seven Millions in and out of the Exchequer being rendered useless , by which means the Commissioners saw it impossible to get the Money subscribed , and paid in Specie , and therefore designed to take Tallies , good Goldsmiths Bills , and Bank Bills , and clipt Money by weight at a high rate for Subscriptions , and so asked 300000 l.
