16 July 1798 Police Report

N.S. Wales
deferenda

Where dominion
is concerned,
men cling to
a dead burthen,
with as
much pertinacity, obstinate an
attachment as if
it were a revenue

It is for the
preservation of this
luxury, the aliment
to food of the ambition
of the
governing classes
amongst us,
that we levy
laxes on Salt
Coals, and other
necessaries of
life, taxes upon
medicine, taxes
upon justice, &
other taxes upon
distress: for were
we to rid ourselves
of the £137000
a year which
it costs us to
keep in action
this engine of
punishment,
£137,000 a
year. no inconsiderable
portion
of the sum collection
of the produce
of all those
several taxes
might be remitted.
To judge
of the utility of
any expense,
compare it with
the burthen of
a proportionable
part of the
amount of the
most oppressive
tax: for by giving
up the one, the
other may be saved.
