§. 5. [] [Bye licence] [Twenty Days of meeting]
[ 1 ] [ 57 ] Page 37. §. 16 Provided always] p. 8. In the case of Alehouses,
Bye-licences, after having been allowed by a Statute
of the 2d of George the 2d (c. 28) were taken away
by a Statute of the 26th of the same reign [ c. 31. s. 4. ]

language employd usual upon these occasions) had given
its testimony against the in disfavour of the
practice. What The particular inconvenience was
I do not recollect the having an it has not fallen in my way to have heard from

and a more impartial attention by that means
given to each case: and whenre a person,
how unworthy soever,
has once got possession
of a licence,
it will be by no
means so easy to
get the renewal of
it refused, even at a
full and unpacked
meeting, as it would
have been to have
got it refused in
the first instance.
But this reason, it is evident,
applies not to the case of the Board, an assembly
composed of the constantly sitting, and (bating accidental
absences) composed of the same persons at all
times; and these, by reason of the extensiveness of their
jurisdiction, not liable very little exposed to the seductions
