Functions continued
Classes of persons to whose abodes the Police Gazette
should be regularly distributed gratis
1. Magistrates and Peace-Officers all over
the kingdom.
2. Licenced persons of all or the greater part
of the several classes proposed to be subjected
to licence. The well-disposed among these
would profit by avail themselves without reluctance of the
information thus received, and do what disposed
in them towards the preservation of the
property concerned, and the bringing the delinquent
to justice: and the ill-disposed
would thus be deprived of precluded from the plea of ignorance.
If it be the interest of the public that offences
should be punished, it is the interest of the public
that information without which no offences can not
be punished overtaken by punishment should be received. But at present
no information of this sort can generally speaking
be made public or communicated to those
who if they possessed it might avail themselves make use of it
for the purpose of contributing to the ends of justice,
unless the person by whom it is furnished
pays for the insertion of it — pays a sum not
less than the weeks maintenance of a working
family of the present the most numerous
class. This expense has the effect of a penalty:
and this penalty in most instances the effect of a
prohibition: and if as is most commonly the case
the party thus discouraged from giving information of
the offence is the a party who has already suffered injury by it
the expense is the heavier, and the prohibition most effective
