Observations on Inserenda Part II, § 2
The Preamble, which may either stand or be
struck out, shows the reason which suggested the
insertion of this clause.
Precedent.
23 Geo: 3. c. 39. Trade with United States - continued
in from year to year to the present time. Power
to King his Majesty in Council by Order &c (as in this Bill)
"to give such directions, and to make such regulations
"with respect to Duties, Drawbacks, or otherwise for
carrying on the Trade . . . . with the . . . United States, as
to his Majesty in Council shall appear most expedient
and salutary" - a power infinitely more
ample than that here proposed to be given, and
infinitely more susceptible of abuse. — After In an In the course of After
a formed at the end of experiment period trials.
the experiment of 15 Years, it has not been found
no inconveniences (it is believed)have so much as been alledged to
have been ever experienced from it.
The most prudent course, however, seems
to be - not to insist th let this clause stand
as part of the Bill in the first instance:
but that some Members shall move it as
an amendment, complaining of the duties
as liable to prove too heavy and suggesting
this as a remedy for the inconvenience.
[ 2 ] [ Report ] A Report from the Board
seems a proper condition to annex to the exercise
of this power, because no other person can be
possessed of so much information relative to the
subject as the Board: and an addition is
thus made to the stock of responsibility and
to the check provided against precipitation
and abuse.
