TRUCK ACT 1831 - SECT 8

This Act not to invalidate the payment of wages in bank notes, or with consent of artificer, in drafts payable to bearer on demand.

8. Provided always, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to
prevent or to render invalid any contract for the payment, or any actual
payment, to any artificer, of the whole or any part of his wages, either in
the notes of the Bank of England, or in the notes of any person or persons
carrying on the business of a banker, and duly licensed to issue such notes in
pursuance of the laws relating to His Majesty's revenue of stamps, or in
drafts or orders for the payment of money to the bearer on demand, drawn upon
any person or persons carrying on the business of a banker, being duly
licensed as aforesaid, within fifteen miles of the place where such drafts or
orders shall be so paid, if such artificer shall be freely consenting to
receive such drafts or orders as aforesaid, but all payments so made with such
consent as aforesaid in any such notes, drafts, or orders as aforesaid, shall
for the purposes of this Act be as valid and effectual as if such payments had
been made in the current coin of the realm.
