In contemplating Systems of oeconomy and retrenchment these
considerations have weighed considerably in my mind while I venture
to propose a measure to the Committee comprehending in it structure
some conceptions which may appear to be novel though strictly in
unison with the object of this inquiry since in order to reduce police
expenditure it is necessary to establish regulations for the diminution
of Crimes, and for this purpose not only to collect together under one
management all those Branches of Revenue through which medium
Offences are committed, but also to place them under a System of
Superintendance calculated to give energy to the arrangements
which may be formed for so useful and beneficial a purpose to
the Community.

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 and other
Metals which are the great receptacles for this Species of Plunder too
clearly evinced by this Class of Dealers being generally implicated
as often as discoveries are made. Nor would the Finances of the Country
be benefitted in the new checks which would be established
through the medium of the various regulations that are proposed strengthened
& invigorated by a general superintendance for the protection
of the Revenue against illicit Trade in promoting which several
of the Classes now proposed to be placed under regulation contribute
in an eminent degree.
