Police Act
ought to be determined, and determined by some
person or persons (a Jury included where the
trial is by Jury) invested with the authority of a
Judge. To damn a man a thief a reputed thief merely because
a witness does so, without and that without ever
having seen him committ an act of theft,
is to turn over to the witness the authority transfer to the witness the function of
the Judge. [+]

I see the extreme difficulties laboured with
under by the passers of that Act had to struggle. I see the
extreme laudable caution manifested in the struggle and in the combating of those
difficulties. I see Mentioning the Act, I mention it it is
not for the purpose of censuring it, as if it were a measure
more unsuitable to the existing order of things,
but as an example to shew that the steps strides
steps that have already been taken in the pursuit
of the class of person in question are much
wider than those more difficultly reconcileable
to justice than and more exposed to delegation
objection than those plan which I have ventured
to propose [+] for the who extirpation of the mischief stands clearer of objections than the
palliative remedies expedients already in force: expedients which weak and inefficient
as they are, are as efficacious perhaps as any
that could be established without the assistance
of a set of receptacles such as the proposed Industry-
Houses.
