by a System oeconomy very different from what prevails at present
there can be no doubt whatever of a saving equal to all the expences

State of the Police should be made out stating the number of persons
apprehended Convicted and punished all over Great Britain with the
various punishments inflicted and the general expence incurred in the
whole establishment.

from much anxiety in the Confidence that there existed an Establishment
composed of good Watch Men whose measures & attention
are constantly directed to every probable point of Danger is the moment any such Dangers to be
apprehended and who are penetrating with prudence and
discretion into every recess where mischief may be in contemplation
in whatsoever shape it appears and this too without being known
is discovered and without invading the privileges of innocence
at giving offence even to persons engaged in a Course of
Treasonable and Criminal Turpitude.
