Police Surveyors
may have the authority
of Constables
- why -
[1][54] Page 29. ʃʃ 11. [Every such Surveyor . . . . shall possess . . . . the authority
of a Constable . . . ]
The service of the Surveyor being destined
to purposes of Police as well as Revenue, the
reason for, or rather the necessity of investing them
with the authority of Constable is obvious enough.
Under the Excise and Customs in the cases when powers of
search, service and or arrest are given to the Officer local
of Revenue Officer, it is common enough to require
the presence of the local Parish Officer,
the Constable, as a warrant for the exercise of the
power, and as a safeguard against the abuse of
it: . But in the present case the Officer of
the Revenue is himself an inhabitant of the neighbourhood,
and appointed not by the Crown, but by
a Country Gentleman also an resident inhabitant of the neighbourhood.
His Office too is of itself sufficiently to
give him a degree of respectability over and above not only equal but superior to
what are can be generally expected looked for
on the part of the a Parish Constable: and in virtue
of his subjection to the Board as well as to his
Patron the County from to whom he is indebted for
his appointment, he is more under command
than the ordinary Constable and under stricter
. As to the his Constable extending
over the whole County, the reason of this provision
is stamped upon the face of it, and it has
the Police Office Act [32 G.3. c. ] for a precedent.
