Indirect
Rewarding
Breach of dispensational trust
By the act which establishes penitentiary
houses 19 G. 3. c. 74. §. 18
it is provided directed that "the salaries of the respective Gover
"-nors and taskmasters shall totally if possible, or at
"least in great measure, be arise from the profits
"of the work that shall be done in each several
penitentiary house." This is another instance of
the application of the maxim same principle now before
us. Here too the inducement is presented in the
shape of reward. Suppose it presented in the shape
of punishment and observe the inconvenience. The
salaries of the officers above-mentioned must have
been fixed at a certain sum: a computation
must have been of the amount to which the
of profit upon the workmen work might probably be
brought by good management; and power must
have been given to somebody to set fines upon
the officers in case it should the amount of the
profit should turn out to be inferior to that sum.
How small the chance of such a law's being
executed! and how violent would be the complaints
of injustice tyranny and oppression if it were!
Note
(a) The effect tendency of such a the regulation here recommended is the
converse of that of the offence which I have stiled
peculation pro rata. In the one case for every particle
of gain profit made by the individual, the public makes a
greater: in the other for every particle of profit made by
the individual, the public suffers a greater loss.
Note
This idea was one
seems
to have
been
one of
the fruits
of the gleanings of
wisdom with for which the
nation seems to be indebted [has been enriched
to the industry of by the truly pious
pilgrimage of Mr
Howard] that most respectable
of all travellers,
Mr Howard.
