It started, as so often, with war. Much of the attraction to William III of the offer of the throne of England was that he couldthereby mobilise our forces against the French in defence of Holland. Accordingly Britain was embroiled in a European war ona scale hitherto unknown. As a result, annual expenditure escalated from perhaps £1.4m. to £4.0m. with income a little over£1.0m. Prior to William’s accession the constitutional theory had been that “the King shall live of his own”, that is Parliamentmight vote annual taxes or duties for the nation’s upkeep, but any inadequacy, in particular most types of borrowing, was amatter for the King. As he could not be sued and, in theory, his debts died with him, his credit rating was poor and the nation’sfinances difficult to manage. The beginnings of goldsmith banking, so much involved with advances to the State, owed much toinvestors’ belief that depositing monies with the bankers for onward transmission was a better credit risk than direct investmentat the Exchequer. Such deposits were usually to be repaid “in course”, that is they would be secured on an annual tax or dutyand repaid, with interest, as the resulting revenue came to hand. The offer to William had included the condition Parliamentwould take over control of most types of borrowing. It may have taken on the task with some misgiving. For a nation whichhabitually ran a current account deficit, the “in course” system could no longer cope. So the new government of the GloriousRevolution of 1688 had to experiment with schemes of longer term borrowing. The first, in 1693, was to raise £1.0m. by way of

a tontine. It was unsuccessful, a little more than £100,000 being taken up. The following year saw numerous novel ways ofraising money, including the first Exchequer Bills, loans from the East India Company, the first State lottery (which spawnedthe Million Bank, which was not a bank at all), issues of life annuities - and the founding of the Bank of England. The fivesignatories on the larger receipt - Sir John Houblon, Sir Henry Furnese, Sir Theodore Janssen, Abraham Houblon and Sir JamesBateman signed in their capacities as Commissioners appointed under the Great Seal of England to take the subscriptions, buttheir greater significance is their subsequent election as directors. The first Board contained three Houblon brothers, merchantswhose grandfather had fled France at the time of the Alva persecutions. Sir John became the Bank’s first Governor, and thepresent Threadneedle St. building includes the site of his one time house. Furnese was a trader in point lace. Janssen andBateman (a later Bank Governor), both immigrants from the Continent, later made the mistake of deserting the Bank infavour of the South Sea Company. Bateman was the first sub Governor there but died before the years of the bubble: Janssen,despite his reputation for honesty remained to be fined over £200,000. Maddocks, who signs the smaller receipt was at that timethe junior of the initial cashers, although he was soon to became Chief Cashier and his autograph is much sought after as asignatory on the first banknotes. The £1.2m. capital raised was to be lent wholly to the Government at 8%p.a, the interest to befinanced by levying a duty “upon the Tunnage of ships and vessels” and thus the Bank became the Tunnage bank to its detractors.In return for the loan, the Bank was to be granted a charter and the right to issue £1.2m. of banknotes, secured only on thatloan. Chancellor of the Exchequer, fearful of failure, provided for a further £300,000 to be raised in the form of annuities, whichis why the Act refers to £1.5m. He need not have worried, subscription for the Bank taken at the Mercers’ Chapel, filled in 12days. It had opened on June 21 1694, the Queen applying for £10,000. The first Radcliff subscription receipt here illustrated isdated the following day. The Charter, and therefore the actual commencement of the Bank, was not sealed until 27th July: It isunlikely that another opportunity will occur to acquire a document dated at the very dawn of the Bank

Charles Chubb started business in 1818 following the award of a patent of the now famous Chubb DetectorLock to his brother Jeremiah. A shop was opened in 1827 in the City of London but manufacturing wasdone in a small factory in Wolverhampton. The first safes were made by the company in the 1830’s andwere manufactured in London whilst the lock manufactury was still in the Midlands.
Incorporated as Chubb and Son Lock & Safe Co. Ltd. In 1882 under the Chairmanship of George HayterChubb, later Lord Hayter, and formed many subsidiary companies for trading in Australia, South Africa,India and Canada. The company grew and later moved to a 6 storey specially built factory on the site ofthe old Wolverhampton Workhouse in 1899 but some manufacturing was still undertaken in London.
This series of debentures were issued to fund some of the factory moves and consolidation of manufacturing,which had become fragmented, to the Wolverhampton area. They were all paid in due time andsubsequently cancelled and returned to the company secretary. On offer here are the entire issues of thecompany.
This company is probably the best known in the world in the Lock and Safe business and during its lifetimehas absorbed many other companies such as Milner and Chatwood. Became part of the Racal Group in1984, splitting again in 1992 as Chubb Security plc. Merged into Williams Holdings in 1997 but againdemerged as Chubb plc in 2000.

Margin Scheme. Such Lots can be identified by the absence of anyVAT symbol next to the Lot number in the catalogue and will not besubject to VAT on the Hammer Price.
2. Where Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme toVAT–registered businesses, the VAT included within the Buyers’Premium is not recoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day,we will issue invoices that show VAT separately on both the HammerPrice and the Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registeredbusinesses to recover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to thenormal rules for recovering input tax.
ii. Zero-Rated LotsLimited Categories of goods, such as books, are Zero-rated (o) for VAT inthe United Kingdom. Such Lots are offered under the Auctioneers’ MarginScheme. In these circumstances no VAT will be added to the Buyer’spremium.

Lots which bear theOmega symbol (Ω) are subject to VAT at 20% on the Hammer Price andon the Buyer’s Premium. Such Lots bear VAT because the Lot is liable forVAT at this rate on importation into the EU.
v. Investment Gold LotsLots marked (g) in the catalogue are exempt from VAT on the HammerPrice and are subject to VAT at 20% on the Buyer’s Premium. A refund ofVAT charged on the Buyer’s Premium can also be made on receipt of proofof business as a collectibles dealer.
vi. Imported LotsLots which are marked (x) and Lots which bear the Omega symbol (Ω)have VAT charged on the Hammer Price and Buyers’ Premium becausethey have been imported into the United Kingdom from outside the EU.In these cases we have used a temporary importation procedure, which ineffect means that the point of importation is deferred until the Lot has beensold.
