Should the sources of indemnification thus
indicated not be fail of being approved of, or should an apprehension
be entertained that
the proposed expense
in paper appear notwithstanding all indemnifications,
would prove too great to be continued, the expense
of a making the experiment, were it only for
a year or two, might surely not be grudged.
The expense
might cease at
any time and
the ... for
that period would
have its own like
other masses of
temporary information
collected by
Committees, Commissioners
&c -
and the source of
income might would
remain
If upon experience it proved were deemed
regarded as overbalancing the advantage, it might
then at any time be struck off. The money In the mean
time the money thus expended would not have
been thrown away: any more than the labour
and money expended in the temporary obtainment of other
branches of information by Committees of Parliament
and Commissioners instiuted by authority
of Parliament has been thrown away. And
moreover, though the Calendar of Delinquency,
with its constituent elements, the proposed Returns
from Regular Courts, Justices, Constables and Jailors,
should after a year or two's trial be given up,
the proposed sources of indemnification viz: the
transfer of the Poor's and the King's sh share in forfeitures, and
the transfer of forfeitures on Recognizances, to the
Police Fund, would not on that account be to be given up. If
proper in themselves their propriety would not be
lessened affected by any opinion that might be formed of
the proposed Calendar of Delinquencies.

Upon the whole, the expe proposed expense
of paper, whatever it may amount to, does not
appear to be of that sort which in prudence can
be grudged. What would be thought of the economy
of the individual, who, to save the expense of Account
Books, should resolve not to keep accounts?
