Minor Notes.
_The Banking Company in Aberdeen, and the Bank of England._--The Banking
Company in Aberdeen was established in the year 1767; and the following
Note respecting it may be new to many of the readers of "N. & Q." This
Company adopted the plan of using paper bearing in watermark a waved
line, and the amount of the note expressed in words, along with the
designation of the Company; but about the year 1805 a gentleman
connected with Aberdeenshire brought this paper under the notice of the
Bank of England, in consequence of which they adopted it, and procured
an act of parliament to be passed prohibiting the use of paper so marked
by any provincial bank.
