Formerly accounts were kept and lnrgc sums of money paid and received by the king's exchequer In London, with little other form than the exchange or delivery of tallies, pieces of wood notch ed or scored, corresponding blocks be ing kept by the parties to the account. From till usage one of the head offi cers of the exchequer was called the "talller" or "teller." These tallies were often negotlnhle. Adaj Smith In hi "Wealth of Nations" says that "In 1600 tallies had been ut -10 and 50 and 00 per cent discount, and bnuknote at 20 per cent," The system of tallies was discontinu ed about 1S30, and the destruction In the night of Oct. 10, 188 1, of the old houses of parliament 1 thought to have been occasioned by the overhentlug ot tho flue when the furnaces were em ployed to consume the tallies, rendered useless hy the nlteintlon lu the mode of keeping the exchequer account.
