2 &. G. 3. c. 26.
As Finance has its annual Budget, so ought Police. The annual Calendar of Delinquency will be this annual
Budget if any. It is by this Register or Calendar alone that
and by this alone that any a test or measure will
at the in the first place first institution of it
be afforded, if the demand for exertions in the way
of improvement in the law, and progressivity of the success of<lb/>result favorable or unfavorable of
all such exertions as shall from time shall may
come to be have been made. It is by this means that processes measures
of legislation and administration may be brought to
the test of experiment with a degree of accuracy &
satisfactoriness scarce inferior to that which is observed
by processes of experiments in Chemistry or Mechanics. This test of measures
will as far as the list of observations is compleat
in regard to Offenses, stiles of Procedure and places
be all-comprehensive: and at any rate, as far as it
goes, the indications it afforded by it will be incontrovertible.
By the number of offenses committed, prosecuted
for or prosecuted to conviction and punishment for a
period of a certain length (according to the true requisite
for a measure or set of measures to produce
their effect, the degree of efficiency and
success of any such measure or set of measures
will be exhibited in figures: and as far as to such
part of the inconvenience of of the measure or set of measures
as consists of expense (for the most unexceptionable of the
no measures of government whatever, not even the most unexceptionable is free from inconvenience) the inconvenience
of the measure will may be exhibited in figures likewise:
This expense and the vexation together (for no measure
of the coercive kind can be unattended with vexation)
will give the price which the public pays for the
benefit of the measure.
