The Classes of Prisons I look to as correspondents of the
proposed Central Board are the acting Magistrates in every part of
Great Brittain, whether for Counties or Towns Corporate, together
with prisons at present employed as Surveyors and Officers under the
authority of the Hawkers and Pedlars Office with such additional
Surveyors Inspectors and other Officers as it may be found necessary
to appoint in consequence of the proposed very considerable increase
of the number of the prisons to be Licensed, & of the Revenue proposed
to be obtained.
I look also to all other prisons as Correspondents who
either from motives of Public Spirit or from having suffered from
Acts of Delinquency may be disposed to give information useful to
Public Justice The Central Board would of course be the general
Office for the reception of all such and for the timely and universal
circulation of whatever tended to the detection of Offenders which
would receive infinite assistance from a periodical publication
or Police Gazette upon an improved Plan which should contain
a detailed account of the Crimes committed, a specification of the
Goods Horses Cattle or other Articles stolen with a description of
the Persons suspected to have been concerned.
the same Publication might also prove highly useful
as the means of conveying Instruction to the innocent & well disposed
part of the Community respecting Fraud, and other Criminal
Divices for the purpose of putting them on their Guard; and
occasionally some for the promulgation of Laws
which might not otherwise come within the knowledge of those
whose conduct they are designed to regulate.
The proposed Police Gazette being published by
the Central Board & confined Solely to one object/every thing
else that enters into the composition of a news paper being excluded.
