Expenses of
prosecution
rewards for
Evidence

The rewards paid for occasional services rendered
by contributing in different ways to the conviction
of offenders chiefly in the by evidence in the trial
and the preparatory examinations, and by being
concerned in arresting the body of the offender are
partly fixed and partly occasional: those which are
fixed are provided by Statute and are paid by
the respective Sheriffs of who are allowed this amount in their
accounts with the Exchequer. The rewards occasionally
given for this species of service are in some
instances offered by his Ma paid by the public, being in the name of his
Majesty by a Principal Secretary of State, and
paid at the Secretary of State's Office Treasury: in other instances
they are offered by individuals, and paid by the
individuals.

In the numerous cases of inferior account in which the punishment
is of the pecuniary kind, and the reward paid out
of the produce of it, the service embraces every stage
of procedure, the form of which in those cases is so simple as
to include little more on the part of the individual
than attendance for the purpose of lodging information and giving evidence attendance for
the purpose of giving evidence. But here by one of
those inconsistencies which remain pass with little observation
in a mass of such magnitude as the system

is refused to the only person without whom the no conviction
can take place: the only person who having
in the character of an observing witness obtained
knowledge of the transaction is the only person who in
the character of a deposing witness is enabled able to give
birth to the event — the conviction — the event for the production
of which the reward is offered. The person to whom [+] alone

to be paid, is a
person who knows
no more of the matter
than what he
has been told by heard from
the witness, without
whom it would not
have been in his power
to perform the service.
