A late 18th century notice details Shergold and Co. Royal Union Bank, Lampard Street, London selling legal stamped shares for English and Irish lottery prizes.

J Wenham, stock broker at No 11 Poultry London, advertises Irish State Lottery tickets and shares, claiming prior lotteries paid large prizes.

The letter urges public disclosure of terms and warns against stock jobbing while asserting calculated support for a reduction by end of 1800.
