To an unprejudiced third person who takes time
to reflect, it will hardly appear as an event
seriiously to be apprehended, that a manufacturer
of this class or of any other class, in whose
character there were no stain, should experience
from the majority of this or any other Board
the refusal of a licence. The occupier of a
first rate Tavern or Inn is, in point of pecuniary
consideration, little if at all inferior,
to the most opulent Gold and Silversmith. The
danger to which the Goldsmith would be stand exposed
is no other great greater than that to which the
Great Tavern and Innkeeper has always been
exposed, without danger injury or complaint. It is in
fact not so great: for supposing (what is scarce
supposable) that the Members of a majority of such
a Board should be so far led astray by privatecriminal
emnity and malice as to join concurr in
expelling from his business an individual without
reproach, especially an individual of the a person of that degree
of respectability supposed, there would at any rate
be the an authority superior to the Board, (viz: the Treasury Person
or Secretary of State to whose orders it would be subject) by to whom in
a case this extraordinary a complaint could hardly
fail to be entertained: whereas were the great
Tavern keeper to experience the refusal be refused a licence by from the Justices,
there is no superior authority from which by whose the Justices
could reverse an order to grant the licence.
