the difference in the two cases is matter of accident, <lb> however, and does not arise out of any difference <lb> in the nature of the two cases. The persons employed<lb> under the Post Office as Vendors of Stamps Receivor of Letters are shopkeepers: the <lb> persons employ'd as Receivors of Letters are shopkeepers <lb> of a higher class: a class not inferior to the other<lb> this same sort of persons are the persons employ'd in<lb> both instances: the business of the Receiver and Vendor<lb> of transfer is not more complicated, in any degree<lb> nor capable of influencing the point in question<lb> than that of the Receivor and Forwarder of Letters.<lb> the persons employ'd about the Letters are Shopkeepers:<lb> the persons employ'd about the stamps<lb> are Shopkeepers of the same class, and frequently<lb> the same individuals. It is not more difficult<lb> to count stamps than to count letters: nor to<lb> count money produced found in the one account<lb> than money found in the other. There are indeed<lb> more varieties in the sums ? in account<lb> of stamps than in the same received in<lb> account of letters. So thus the account is in a <lb> proportionate degree more complicated. But in<lb> each case instance the sum to be taken on account<lb> of a stamp in x indicator in the frame? of the stamp<lb> itself: so that the xcomplication +difficulty is much less/ is beyond comparison<lb> un less in the instance of this Government<lb> x commodity, than +it is/ in the instance of the xthat<lb> xin the/ private stock (which forms +constitutes the subject-matter<lb> of the dealings) of the meanest? shopkeeper.<lb>
