Police Report VI
Hulks
early period of the institution, in 1778 according
to a calculation or a conjecture of the
S gentleman superintendant to whose care they were first
consigned, not a one in six returned
to his evil courses. Commons Report of the
Committee
Date of order for printing
17 .
In 1790, in the opinion
of an active and experienced Magistrate whose situation
has afforded him much opportunity of
observation in on this head, and by whose
zeal no opportunity of observation is neglected
- in the opinion of Mr Colquhoun,
speaking without that or any other bias
upon his mind, abstinence from evil
courses after emancipation is regarded
as an event a result almost without example. Appendix [ ]
Under
these circumstances, admitting that the punish
expence of this engine of punishment was
nothing, still not only could the ends of
punishment remain unfuf unfulfilled unattained,
the object considered as
an object of police
uncompleated
but even the advantageousness of it in a
purely financial point of view would not be found
so great as at first glance it might be apt to appear
to a hasty glance. The punishment having
run its length, and the criminal career
being recommenced, more crimes would be
committed by the same
person, more damage
done by these crimes either
to the priv property individual or
to the public of the public
to private or public property
more rewards would
be to be offered and paid for evidence, more prosecution
to be instituted and
carried on, more subsistence
money expended on the culprit when
in jail if as often as in consideration of the inefficacy
of this mode of punishment that if transportation
were recurred to more employment given additions made to
the expense of to that engine of punishment, which whatever
other advantages it may be found to possess is will be seen to be
of all engines of punishments that ever were invented the
most expensive.
