[ ] Page * 50 §. 25. [ Limit the Walk or Walks ]
Without a power of this sort, the power of
granting or withholding the licence might afford
but little security against the practices of the
dishonest part of the trade: after sel a purchase
made of stolen goods, a man could mark off
to whatever distance have no more to do than to
shift his operations to some by changing his
walk and continuing the same practices in a part
of the country where he was unknown a man might
at any time convey himself out of the reach of
Justice. Nor would this dereliction of one accustomed
walk be any such sacrifice as that of one accustomed
shop. In the case of a shop the custom depends partly
partly upon the
situation of the shop,
partly upon habits of personal
acquaintance as between
the shop-keeper and
---page break---
his customers. In
the present case first situation
is out of the
question: nor is
the custom supposed
to depend much
if any thing
upon personal
acquaintance,
any more than
in the case of
ordinary Pedlars.
