[9] Page 22. §. 7. [Shall hold their Office ... in .. the said District]
This provision is though scarcely necessary, is copied from
the case of Act establishing the Excise. 12 C. 2. c. 24. §. 26.
See the Table of Precedents.

Possibly it may be thought still more advisable
to pass over make no mention at all in the
Bill of any of these points the above points relative
to the Constitution of of the Board - viz: Quorum

Salaries and place of sitting - because in that case
all these points would fall of themselves within
(it should seem) within the discretion of the Crown.
One advantage however arises may arise from the mention of
them in the Bill Act - viz: that there will it will serve to direct
the attention of Administrations the Executive power to the several points,
and will appear to call for express regulations on the
subject to be made by Order of Council, grounded
in some determinate considerations: whereas otherwise
the a course taken with regard to these several
points might pass as it were sub silentio,
and be the work, not so much of reflection as
of chance.

The Crown being intrusted by the constitution itself
with the power of stationing the Courts of Law
(all but the Common Pleas) at wherever it pleases, and
even the two Houses of Parliament itself, themselves, it were strange
indeed if there could be an danger in intrusting it with
the power of conforming itself the appointment to the dictates of convenience,
in the instance of a particular Board of
Revenue or Police. The Stamp Office affords an instance
of the inconvenience that may result from the tying
down the hands of the Crown in regard to a point so
little exposed to abuse - tying them down unawares and
without any particular object in view. On the first original Stamp
