Have you thought of any mode of Controuling and Checking
the power which you propose to give to inferior and Superior
Magistrates of distributing Small rewards for meritorious
Services whether attended with Convictions or not with a view
of preventing abuse in such distribution?
The rewards proposed to be granted by Justices of the
Peace or inferior Magistrates should in the first instance at
least be confined to offences committed in or near the Metropolis,
and these Magistrates (being Magistrates of Police) should
make a Regular return Monthly to the proposed Central
Board and instead of paying Money should make Orders upon
the of the Central Board for such rewards signed at least
by two Magistrates specifying in such order for what Services the
Rewards have been allowed.
By adopting this mode no Money would pass through
the Hands of the Magistrates and it is presumed that under
the directions of the Board the Orders so granted would always
sufficiently explain the purpose and afford the Commissioners
the means of checking an improper expenditure of public
Money if any Instance it should appear to them that an
abuse had taken place.
With Respect to the Judges or Superior
Magistrates it is humbly to be presumed that no check
whatsoever will be necessary, and that the rule already established
