benefit
from the lessening
the plunderage
in the King's naval
Stores
Considering this object alone in a financial point of view it is
my Duty to state to the Committee that through the Medium of the
arrangements I have suggested other advantages beneficial to the
Revenue of the Country would be derived in the protection which
would be afforded to property in the Naval and Military Arsenals
and in Ships of war from the Regulations which are proposed with
regard to Dealers in Second Hand naval stores old Iron & other
Metals which are the great receptacles for this Species of Plunder
too clearly by this Class of Dealers being generally implicated
as often as discoveries are made. Nor would the Finances of the
Country be benefited in the new Checks which would be established
throug the medium of the various regulations that are proposed
strengthened and invigorated by a general Superintendance for the

of Convicts that the expenses of the Police are to be diminished.

under the following specifications.

3d By passing another Bill which has been some Months under the
consideration of the Attorney and Solicitor General and which
drawn up with the assistance of the most experienced Counsel
in that branch of Criminal Jurisprudence for improving the
Mint Laws and for defeating the various Tricks and devices
to which the numerous hordes of Coiners and utterers of Base
money resort for the purpose of evading Justice, by this measure
