HC Deb 17 February 1843 vol 66 c769
Mr. Kemble

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to explain what course the Government intended to take with respect to the payment of the interest on the forged Exchequer-bills?

The Chancellor of the Exchequer

said, it was his intention that interest should be paid to the holders of the bills from the time at which the last payment of interest had been made. But there must be a settlement in each individual case. Some persons had received these bills in deposit, and had paid no premium on them, so, of course, the amount of premium at the time the bills were received must be deducted in all such cases from the arrears of interest due.
