the real expense. It would be misleading Parliament
and the public, if the institution were to be charged
with so many thousand pounds, as if it were costing
that sum to Government, while in fact nothing
was government was disbursing nothing on account
of for the institution on that score but what in that
same sum it already had received: the institution
being as fully the cause of the receipt as of the expense.
One help towards reimbursing to government the
real amount of the expense might be afforded
by a law giving at once to the Police Fund
all shares of forfeitures which under the several
Statutes are given nominally to the poor of the
parish: in reality, as every body knows, to the rich of
the same parish, since in as far as the forfeitures
are levied and applied, the money goes in on tax
diminution of the burthen of that tax upon the rich
which is called the Poor Rate. For the rich of the
several Parishes this relief is no object: to the Police
Fund, the aggregate of the sums levied, or at least the
aggregate of the sums that a might and then would be
levied, would be a considerable object. This would
be a supply - not only applicable to the purposes expense
of the institution but a Calendar of Delinquency - but growing, in a great degree
at least, out of the institution Calendar of Delinquency itself: since, among
other effects of the supply of information afforded
by the returns, would be the information of the
supply of money due from a source which otherwise
would be apt to be lie neglected and unproductive.
