IX. Prosecution
Of all these several heads of expenditure
there are few or none which considered in a general
point of view might not afford indications capable
of being made of use with a view to practice
sometimes with a view to reduction of expense,
sometimes to what comes to the same
thing, encrease of service.
The use of this expenditure is to give efficacy
to the system of penal laws: to render the
degree of that efficacy in each successive period as
great as possible.
The degree of efficacy of that system for and
during any given period considered by itself
say in single year will be in the proportion of the total number of offences
punished within that period to the number of offences known
to be committed within that period.
It The degree of efficacy of that system for a
number of equal and successive periods (say

will be in the inverse proportion of the
number of offences known to have been
committed within those several periods respectively.
The great object and ultimate practical end of whatever
knowledge can be obtained in relation to
this expense os the effecting a reduction in
