prevails in general it appears to me therefore that it would be unsafe
and inexpedient to alter or disturb the present System of Licensing
Public Houses and more especially as it would not preclude the proposed
Central Board from recommending to the Licensing Magistrates
all over the Kingdom (being previously authorized by his Majestys
principal Secretary of State) such general measures from time to
time as might appear to be calculated to correct the existing abuses
upon a regular and uniform principle from which great advantages
would unquestionably arise and perhaps this is as much as could be
reasonably expected in the present State of things.
What are the regulations to which you allude in the
paper delivered in by you marked 2 with regard to Dealers in Second
Hand Naval Stores, Old Iron & Other Metals?
The Regulations proposed are such as have a tendency
to prevent the receiving of Stolen Goods particularly in the night time
& also the purchase of Metals in a Molten State. The Regulations go
to a variety of minute objects tending to prevent the corruption of Morals
which can only be explained and understood by having recourse to the
Bill already mentioned drawn in the Year 1794. for regulating those
particular Dealers with such additions & improvements as have since
occurred as proper to be made and which would be immediately
applicable to the suggestions contained in the paper marked 2 & in
the letter already mentioned written by Charles Pool Esq.r & myself
by the desire of the Secretary of his Majestys Treasury for the information
of that Board.
Having stated that it is by an improved System
with respect to the Employment of Convicts that the expences of the
Police are among other means to be diminished have you any particular
improved System for the employment of Convicts in view by which
you think the expences of the Police may be diminished?
