Police Bill 1 Preliminary Observations

Advantage from
extending the number
of the classes
subjected to licence
under this one board
1. Inspecting the classes
one journey, thus
shorter

Nay In proportion to the extent given to
the number of classes and individuals
subjected to the jurisdiction of this Board there
is one great is at any rate one general advantage gained. The greater the number
of li persons licenced, the greater then number of
Surveyors which the Board have occasion for, and
will be able to can afford to pay. But the greater the
amount number of Surveyors, the smaller their respective
districts will be made: and the smaller the districts
the more conveni better the look-out which
each one will be able to keep, and the less of his
time will be consumed in journies upon the road, as also in any
cases in which it may be necessary that the parties
to be licenced should travel to the Surveyor, the less less
parties will be their loss of time and expence by journies likewise. This latter
is one which a consideration of such importance as one many occasions
to have engaged the attention of Parliament. Accordingly,
in the annual Land Tax Acts it is annually enacted
that no person shall be compelled to travel more than
a certain number of miles: and in an Excise
Act that no person shall be compelled to travel more
than twelve miles: provisions which sufficiently
shew the anxiety of the legislature, though the way
application of them made of applying in which they can be applied to practice is not altogether
ought to be wished obvious. but

2 The stronger
the assistance the
Police might give
to the Customs & Excise
against smuggling

A collateral advantage is - that the Police
Surveyors would be so many natural allies to the
departments of the El Boards of Customs and Excise, in the
war carried on by them the two latter departments against Smuggling: a sort of emulation would naturally materialise
take place between the of this new department
and those of the old established ones; and other kind if jealousy and ill will
the natural and almost unavoidable accompaniments of emulation, were to take
place likewise to a certain degree, the harm would not be
great since each class would by that means not serve with the
greater zeal in the character of a spy when the proceedings and a check upon any malpractices
of the others
