Police Gazette
The efficacy of the measures pursued for bringing
delinquents to justice is to in so great a degree dependent
on the universality and promptitude of intelligence;
that it appears in the opinion of to Your Committee that it would be
the establishment of an appropriate a distinct channel of
intelligence appropriated to this purpose, and which
being if rendered cheap by being exempted from Stamp Duties
and from the copiousness of circulation and impression
which would be the consequence, and conveyd free of
postage, might thus be enabled to fulfill its purpose
to an extraordinary degree of perfection. The A paper
for this purpose might bear some such name as that of the Police Gazette: and
being printed on Government account, and every
thing else that goes by comes under the name of news being carefully
excluded from it, the circulation of it, howsoever
copious, soever, could not be attended with any prejudice to the
measure. It is obvious upon the bare mention that
a duty which the his Majestys Treasury were would have to pay with one
hand, in order to receive it with the other, would instead
of being an accomplice to a defalcation from
the revenue: since the whole charge of the collection would be
so much less: which, by narrowing the circulation
it would counteract the direct object of the measure.

Though what is called news would require must necessarily
be excluded, yet this is not the case with
Essays.. These might slide in sub silentio: and by
means of the universality of circulation compared with
that of all the democratic newspapers put together, these
might be of unspeakable use in combating without intermission
the raging malady of the times.
