there would be no profit, but rather a loss in its being so charged
with either Stamps or Postage.
Its utility as an Instrument in the Hands of
Executive Justice would be in proportion to the ease and facility
with which an extensive Circulation could be promoted. To
attain this object therefore I should humbly presume that such
of these Gazettes as are not transmitted Gratis to Magistrates &
others not connected with the central Board should be sold at
a price not exceeding one penny.
Under such a System well and ably conducted it is
highly probable that no crime, or at least none in which any
Individual felt a Special Interest, would remain unpunished
for want of information.
In the present State of things where the
receipt as well as the Circulation of intelligence useful to Public
Justice is so expensive and the means of bringing it under the
review of Executive Justice so difficult the numbers of Crimes
brought to Punishment or even so much as brought to light may
well be suspected to be very small in proportion to the whole
number with which the innocent part of the community is
afflicted.
With respect to Licences I would humbly propose that
the Magistrates in their different divisions in the Country
Should be empowered at their general Meetings for Licencing
Ale Houses also to grant Licenses to the Dealers resident in each
Divisions. Their Local Knowledge would give them the best
opportunity of being informed with respect to character and of
every other qualification which may be required under the
proposed Act of Parliament: And the Checks of the different
Licensing Divisions might be under the Direction of the
