The Licences are to be granted by the Magistrates within the Limited of
their respective Jurisdictions or Divisions in the same manner as all
Licences are granted at present and they are to exercise their discretion
with respect to the persons fit to be intrusted with Licences to the full
extent at present authorized by Law. And it is worthy of remark that
while these clauses place the respective Dealers who are the object of this
Bill under the immediate guidance of the Magistrates as the only
Constitutional authority which can promptly detect and punish
frauds. This very important part of the System (by being grafted
upon old and long established regulations) is carried into execution
at once without the least trouble or expence, and the Licence Duty
is also by this means collected by the Clerks now in the detail of doing
the same business in respect to all Licences which secures a correct
execution of the provisions of the Act in so far as respects Revenue
and this too without any expence whatsoever.
The 9th Clause of this Bill establishes a regulation which will prove a
material if not an effectual check against purloining the Kings Stores
or even any of the property of Individuals which exhibits marks of
suspicion. If those are no receivers of Stolen Goods there can be no Thieves
The object of this Clause is to place every difficulty in the way of such
receivers and it must have a good effect where persons shall not only
forfeit all property respecting which they cannot give a good account
and pay a penalty besides.
