The connection between the two firms of London bankers Thompson Hankey & Co., and Plummer & Wilson & Co. is unclear, but after the bankruptcy of John Plummer and William Wilson of Fenchurch Street 1831, a new firm named Hankey, Plummer & Wilson was formed, Plummer & Wilson bringing to it a number of clients including Beckford. The source of Beckford's vast wealth was of course the family's sugar plantations in the West Indies, and this document dates from before the abolition of slavery. 3pp., foolscap 8vo. Bifolium. Very good, on laid paper with Britannia watermark of 'E SMITH | 1828'. Six numbered points are given, beginning with: '1o. That Messrs. Hankey & Co. shall pay over the Balance due from Wm. Beckford Esq: to the Estate of Messrs. Plummer & Wilson without any Charge for Commission; but, before such Balance is paid over, the Accounts shall be subject to the examination of Mr. Smith the accountant from the 30th. April 1825 to the close of Messrs. Plummer & Wilson's books.' The second point refers to 'the Jamaican Attornies' Bills'; the third to 'payments to the merchants in Cash'; the fourth to 'Invoices of Supplies'; the fifth to 'payments for Premiums on Policies of Insurance'; and the last to 'Securities by Bonds or otherwise & the Interest thereon'.
