Parly Reform Sinecures

On the other side there would indeed be the deductions:
and supposing any such article suppressed fabricated, the magnitude
of the sum suppressed would be upon that
article the magnitude of the public loss.

But of such suppression there would be little danger.
For the sinecure Articles belonging to this head would come
under one or other of two classes.

One would consist of the deductions made by public
taxes: of these the amount would be too notorious
o be denied or left undisclosed with any probability of
success.

The other would consist of principally of two heads viz. 1. Clerks emoluments and allowances
2. House expences: such as or repairs, furniture,
stationary, provision for heat and light.

In In this latter division of the expenditure may
be seen that in which fraud would find its most
promising station. But whatsoever disbursements the
Sin Sinecurist had made on any such account must
have been made to somebody: and to his own be against
account any attempt at suppression on his part, on the account
of that somebody, any such account as he might
give would find in the apprehended statement apprehended
at the hands of that somebody its appropriate,
and in general not insufficient check.
