Indirect Legislation
Satisfying
In proposing the making this provision
for the subsistence of persons under the predicaments
in question I have hitherto for simplicity's
sake excluded all alternatives and modifications.
But the business is mainly to take
such precaution as shall b appear to be sufficient
in order to insure their having an honest livelyhood:
if then that security can be obtained by
any other means, it is sufficient; and the
milder the means, the better, and therefore the
more the alternatives, the better. Will
any body reputable responsible person be a security, to a certain amount
for his good behaviour? will any body such person undertake
to find him employment for a certain time?
Is there any other disciplined course of life which
he would betake himself to in preference; such
as the military or the naval service?
At any rate the man who has been taken
up or examined on suspicion then be it ever
so faint, of the crime of the class in question
should be dismissed until he has given an been examined
account of touching an account of the manner in which he has subsisted
himself for a certain time preceding, suppose
six months. If honestly, such an inquiry
can not hurt him: if dishonestly it is fit that
provision should
be made accordingly.
