About a hundred years ago the in- habitants of Guernsey were in need of a market.

Now, at that time, the authorities had no money available for any such purpose. Common logic said, no money, no market. But money can sometimes be borrowed. So the in- habitants of Guernsey went to the Governor and requested him to apply to Loudon or Paris for a loan.
