An account of Edward Backwell, who died in 1683, is to be found in the Dictionary of National Biography, vol. II, p. 321. He was a well-known goldsmith under the Commonwealth and Charles II, to whom he had advanced over £28,000 in the year 1660 (see 12 Car. II, c. 23, s. 37), and one of the founders of the modern banking system. He was the predecessor in business of the well-known firm of Child. Owing to the closing of the Exchequer by Charles II in 1672, he lost a sum of nearly £100,000; this money was afterwards (in 1677) repaid by a cheque on the Excise, but Backwell was ultimately made a bankrupt.

IV, c. 36, s. 6). Henceforth it must have been exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, to prove that any particular elector had "refused" to take the oath or oaths. 287, 1. 24.
