The consequences of such a practice may easily be imagined.
Each subscriber paying his deposit would be entitled to one hundred pounds per annum per share. How this immense profit was to be obtained he did not condescend to inform them at that time, but promised that in a month full particulars should be duly announced, and a call made for the remaining ninety-eight pounds of the subscription.

But at last he managed to stagger out on the bank and deposit his unwieldy load. No sooner had he set the friar down than he seized his own sword.
