Two po On this occasion the present occasion in particular two points come to be
considered: 1. the imposing on the classes of persons
in question the obligation of keeping Books for
the information of those under whose controul they

former case, where and if either of these
objects taken singly is sufficient to warrant

Revenue is the object
the power of prescribing
the forms for the Books is given to a subordinate
authority — the Excise office, and the Stamp—
Office. In the case where Police only is the object,
