The Dartmouth General Bank was one of dozens of small English country banks that issued their own notes under the permissive pre-1826 banking framework. The Bank of England's monopoly on joint-stock banking within 65 miles of London left the provinces to private partnerships, many of which were dangerously undercapitalized. The 1826 Country Bankers Act, passed in the wake of a catastrophic wave of country bank failures in 1825–26, would eliminate the six-partner limit and allow larger joint-stock banks to form — effectively ending the viability of houses like Dartmouth General.
Whether this particular bank survived to 1826 is not certain. Devon saw several failures in that panic year.
