35. whereas the licences and certificates granted to bankers, and persons acting as bankers in Great Britain and Ireland respectively, by or under the authority of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, are required by law to specify, amongst other things, the names and places of abode of all the persons composing the respective companies or partnerships to whom they are granted: Be it enacted, that in any case where a company or copartnership of bankers consists of more than six persons, it shall be sufficient to specify in any such licence or certificate the names and places of abode of any six or more of such persons who may be presented to the Commissioners or their officer, or whom they or he may select for the purpose, and to grant the licence or certificate to them as and for the whole of the company or copartnership, or otherwise to specify only the name or style of the company or copartnership, and to grant the licence or certificate to such company or copartnership in and by the said name or style, as the Commissioners or their officer shall think fit; and every such licence and certificate respectively shall be as good, valid, and available, as if the names and places of abode of all the members of the company or copartnership had been specified therein, and the licence had been granted to them, anything in any Act of Parliament to the contrary notwithstanding; but this shall not in any way alter or affect the provisions of any Act of Parliament whereby any banking company or copartnership is required to make any account or return of the names and places of abode of all the members or partners of such company or copartnership, and any other particulars relating thereto.
