<P>I Have been de&s;ired by &s;ome Gentlemen, who are Well-wi&s;hers to the intended <HI>LAND-BANK,</HI> to publi&s;h my <HI>An&s;wers</HI> to the following <HI>Queries,</HI> propounded by &s;everal who have read my <HI>PROPOSALS, Viz.</HI></P>
<P> <MILESTONE N="Fir&s;t,"> <HI>Where will there be Money found to Circulate the propo&s;ed Bills of Credit?</HI></P>
<P> <MILESTONE N="Secondly,"> <HI>If I take up Bills to the value of</HI> 1000 l <HI>or more, of the Directors, upon the Se|curity of my E&s;tate, and the&s;e Bills be delivered out in Payment from one to another, How &s;hall I get the&s;e Bills again if I have a mind to clear my E&s;tate?</HI></P>
<P> <MILESTONE N="Thirdly,"> <HI>When I have &s;ettled my E&s;tate upon the Tru&s;tees, How mu&s;t I get it out of their Hands, if I would &s;ell it, or &s;ettle it for a Jointure?</HI> &amp;c.</P>
<P> <MILESTONE N="Fourthly,"> <HI>If I pay at any time part of my Principal to the Directors, Whether I mu&s;t notwith|&s;tanding continue the payment of the whole Intere&s;t, or be from that time di&s;charged from payment of Intere&s;t for &s;uch part of the Principal I &s;hall &s;o pay the Directors?</HI></P>
<P><LABEL>1&s;t Que&s;t. an&s;wer'd.</LABEL> The procuring Money to an&s;wer the&s;e Bills is part of the Method which I have to lay before tho&s;e Directors who &s;hall be cho&s;en by the Sub&s;cribers, which I think is not rea&s;onable for me to di&s;cover till I am in a Capacity to put it in Execution, le&s;t I give others an Opportunity to rai&s;e a Super|&s;tructure on my Foundation, which &s;ome have already attempted to do.</P>
<P><LABEL>2d Que&s;t. an&s;wer'd.</LABEL> No Man's E&s;tate is propo&s;ed to &s;tand engaged for any particular Bill or Bills of Credit, but for &s;uch value only in Bills or Money as he &s;hall take up or receive upon the Security of his E&s;tate; and upon his payment of &s;o much Mo|ney, or delivering up Bills of Credit to the like value, his E&s;tate will be cleared.</P>
<P><LABEL>3d Que&s;t. an&s;wer'd.</LABEL> Any Man may as well &s;ell or otherwi&s;e di&s;po&s;e of his E&s;tate that is &s;o &s;ettled, as he may any mortgaged E&s;tate, this being in this re&s;pect no other than a Mortgage, only it is &s;uted more for the advantage of the Mortgager than are the u&s;ual Mortgages: And any Man who &s;ettles his E&s;tate in Tru&s;t may have his <HI>Deed</HI> up again when&s;oever he plea&s;es, upon payment of <HI>Principal</HI> and <HI>Intere&s;t.</HI></P>
<P><LABEL>4th Que&s;t. an&s;wer'd.</LABEL> You are to pay Intere&s;t for &s;o much Principal as you from time to time &s;hall owe to the <HI>BANK,</HI> and for no more.</P>
<P>The Sub&s;tance of my <HI>PROPOSAL</HI> is this,</P>
<P>That the Freeholders are only de&s;ired to unite them&s;elves into a Body, by &s;ub&s;cribing their E&s;tates to be a Fund for a National <HI>LAND-BANK.</HI></P>
<P>And no Man who &s;hall &s;ub&s;cribe obliges him&s;elf, nor his E&s;tate by his Sub|&s;cription, the &s;ame being rather a <HI>Memorandum</HI> of the Names and E&s;tates of &s;uch who are willing to encourage it.</P>
<P>And I propo&s;e, that when there &s;hall be a Sub&s;cription of 100000 <HI>l. per An|num,</HI> the major part of the Sub&s;cribers met together are to choo&s;e <HI>Tru&s;tees</HI> on whom to &s;ettle their E&s;tates, and <HI>Directors</HI> to manage the intended <HI>BANK.</HI></P>
<P>To the&s;e <HI>Directors</HI> I &s;hall propo&s;e my Methods of rai&s;ing Money, and till then the <HI>Sub&s;cribers</HI> or their E&s;tates are under no Obligation, nor them&s;elves at a Penny Charge.</P>
<P>As my Methods &s;hall be approved or di&s;approved, the <HI>Sub&s;cribers</HI> may &s;ettle or forbear to &s;ettle their E&s;tates.</P>
<P>If they &s;ettle their E&s;tates, their E&s;tates are to be chargeable for no more than what they them&s;elves &s;hall actually receive: and the <HI>Sub&s;cribers,</HI> if they plea&s;e, &s;hall be furni&s;h'd with three fourth parts of the Value of their E&s;tates at 3 <HI>l.</HI> 0 <HI>s.</HI> 10 <HI>d. per Cent. per Annum.</HI></P>
<P>And if they &s;hall not &s;ettle their E&s;tates, as they will not have been at the lea&s;t Charge, &s;o they will be at no Trouble but only writing their Names, and meeting once to choo&s;e <HI>Tru&s;tees, Directors,</HI> &amp;c.</P>
<P>The Sub&s;cription Books lie open at the Chambers of <HI>Thomas Gooding</HI> Serjeant at Law, in <HI>Field-Court</HI> in <HI>Grayes</HI>-Inn At <HI>Philip Neave</HI> E&s;q his Chambers, the &s;econd Stair-ca&s;e of the Paper-Buildings in the <HI>Inner Temple.</HI> At <HI>Lawrence Braddon</HI> E&s;q his Chambers, Number 4. the &s;econd Stair-Ca&s;e in the new Square at <HI>Lincolns</HI>-Inn. At the Hou&s;e of <HI>Robert We&s;t</HI> E&s;q the Corner of <HI>Buckingham</HI>-Court near <HI>Scotland</HI>-Yard. At Mr. <HI>John Smith</HI>'s in <HI>Exchange-Alley:</HI> And at Mr. <HI>Humfry Hack &s;haw</HI>'s in <HI>Lothbury</HI> near the Royal Exchange in <HI>London.</HI></P>
