Police Bill
Observations
V. Miscellaneous
§§3
Exemption from
Postage
The Post-Office too, it is supposed, would be apt to
regard with an eye of particular suspicion, any
new institution the effect of which threatened to be
productive of any diminution in that branch of the
Revenue. It is with in a view of obviating these
difficulties from any such source that restrictions
thus have been devised.
It may here occur that should this clause
be disallowed, the difficulty difference will not be
very material: or at least need not be for that letters addressed to the Board
may be paid for out of the fund at the command
of the Board, viz: the Police Fund and that
letters sent to individuals by the Board on business of the Board may also be paid for
by order of the Board, at the expence of the same
public fund. But the inconvenience resulting from
the want of such an exemption will nevertheless
be considerable: since either [+] [+] an account must be kept of every penny thus paid or a power must be committed
to somebody of defraying paying the char without
keeping account. The former mode would it seems
probable, on account of the great copiousness, which
such a correspondence must possess in order to answer
the purpose of the institution, great in proportion
as the purpose of the institution comes to be
answered, be attended with a very considerable expence:
and the other could be exposed to a degree
of abuse that might be productive of still greater
expence.
