[8] [Remnants] Class 4th.p.6. In London there are
a multitude of shops which deal who principally
if not wholly in exclusively in remnants. If they
were not included in the licence-system, they would
afford secure marts for new piece-goods stolen from
manufacturer or dealer.
P6 §6[9] [Badge] Class 5th.p.6. Precedents of Badges
worn required to be wornlaw or custom, or required to be worn, whither by
1. Paupers
2. Chimney Sweeps
3. Watermen.
4. Firemen.
In the case of the Chimney Sweepers, it is for the benefit
of the individual wearing the badge, that it is required
to be worn. In the other cases case of Paupers, as here it is rather
for the benefit of the public than that of the individual
that it is the object in view. In the case of
Fireman it is used simply as a the use of the distinction it to
engage confidence: in the present case, rather to excite diffidence. In the case of few Watermen by whom it is worn as a distinction of the honourary kind. This latter instance it is presumed may be sufficient to reason justify the provision against the imposition of reflecting ignominy on the persons thus distinguished.
§1[10] [Old Cloathsmen] p.6 The comparative shortness of
the latter inscription, is the only reason for giving
the 'option. Where the quantity of room is so insertedThe shorter the inscription conspicuousRegulations
it is capable ofin being is made the smaller Preliminary
the number of letters in the inscription Of Observation, the larger and more
conspicuous they may be made. But these are points which
will be settled to more advantage by the Board, under the Power of Regulation
powers given by S.7 —
§.1 [11] [Gold, Silver]p.7 S.7 Gold Gold air Silver are with
the Instructions. but These metals being, by reason of
the smallness of their bulk in proportion to their value
still more exposed to depradation than any other, the
system, it was thought, would be imperfect, if these
were to be lef left out of it. If these be unsurmountable
reasons against including in the licence system the dealers
in these pretious articles it is easy to strike them out; though
if the modif method to propose to any clause whatever to Founders be received, the most respectable members of the fraternity of Goods they will probably see themselves from the licencing system, by submitting not to make any of their purchases, but in bullion, or of licenced purchasers.
If these metals are retained in the Bill, the great disparity
in value as between S metals and others, as
also as between these one and the others of those metals metals compared with one another
weights render it necessary to fix the wholesale quantity at a iousaccordingly made in the text. Possibly it might be claimed undesirable to make separate class for the purchasers of their puchase metals. But it seems probable that there are not at present any purchasers for dry gold or silver in small quantities, those who work these up, that is, Goldsmiths and Silversmiths because while there are Goldmiths and Silversmiths keeping open shop, anybody that has old gold or silver to dispose of will think of taking them any where elses
