By such an arrangement no expence would arise as the
same Clerk's would answer and with a few exceptions perhaps the same
Commissioners so that no new patronage would be created & no objection
on that Score.

But the chief benefits which would result from a Police
Revenue Board both in a financial view & respect to the Prevention
of Crimes are to be traced to this extension of the System of Licences
and Regulations to all Classes of Dealers who like the Pawn Brokers
and Hawkers & Pedlars require at watchful attention to prevent
that general corruption of Morals & those temptations to commits
acts of delinquency which are held out by such Dealers who may be
classed under the following Heads namely.

1st	Itinerant Dealers in Wearing Apparel whose proper regulations would prove extremely beneficial to the public & would produce Licences 1500	20/ Town 10/Country	£ 1000..
2d	Dealers in Second Hand Naval Stores Hand Stuff &c estimated at Retail	1800	£ 5 Town 50/Country	6000
	Wholesale including Rags White Sale - - -	1500 200	10 £ Dio	5000 1000

8	Persons keeping Crucibles & melting Pots	1500	20 Town 10 Country	1000
9	Persons keeping Truck Carts for collecting or removing Old Metals - - - - - -	1500	40/ Town 20 Country	2000
	and persons keeping Draught Carts for the same purpose	850	5£ Town 50/Country	2500
