EXCHEQUER AND AUDIT DEPARTMENTS ACT 1866 - SECT 20

Accounts of stock may be opened in the books of the Banks under official description of public officers.

20. It shall be lawful for the Bank of England and Bank of Ireland, at the
request of the Treasury, signified by one of their Secretaries, for the public
convenience, to open and keep accounts of Government stock and annuities in
the books of the said Banks under the official description of any public
officer for the time being, without naming him; and the dividends on such
stock and annuities may from time to time be received, and the stock and
annuities or any part thereof to the credit of such account may from time to
time be transferred, by the officer for the time being holding such office, as
if such stock and annuities stood in his own name; and upon the death,
resignation, or removal of any such public officer the stock and annuities
standing to the credit of such account, and all dividends thereon, including
any dividends not theretofore received, shall become vested in his successor
in office, and be receivable and transferable accordingly. And any such public
officer in whose official description such Government stock and annuities may
be standing may by letter of attorney authorize the Bank of England or the
Bank of Ireland, or all or any of their cashiers, to sell and transfer all or
any part of the stock or annuities from time to time standing in the books of
the said Banks on such account, and to receive the dividends due and to become
due thereon; but no stock or annuities shall be sold or transferred at the
said Banks under the authority of such general letter of attorney, except upon
an order in writing, signed by one of the Secretaries of the Treasury,
directed to the proper officers of the said Banks.
