Dock Yards
London Duties
why extended to
them

p.§.1 [15] [Dockyards] In the Royal neigbourhood of the Royal
Dock Yard, the demand for the sort of controul
which it is the object of the Bill to establish is
at least as considerable as in any part of the
London District. Whether the honest branch of
this sort of traffick is or is not be as considerable
in proportion to the numbers engaged in it, the
dishonest is oppos thought to be still more considerable: and if the
effect of the augmentation double or London duty
were to drive out of this branch of traffic as few of the existing honest dealers out of
that Stock of Dealers (supposing the existence of
any such persons, which however may appear rather as any questionable)
the effect would be rather beneficial than
otherwise upon the whole, since by diminishing
the competition it would make it the easier for
those that remained in the trade to gain a
livelyhood without engaging in confederacies with
thieves.

It may have , that Though the London
Duties are thus proposed to be extended to these
Districts, this will not make any change with in
regard to the jurisdiction for the granting of the licences
and taking cognizance of offense the behaviour
of licensed persons as well as of the offense of dealing
without license - Though the district Dock Yard.
with their respective neighbourhoods pay the London
Duty, this will not give the authority of granting
licences in these districts, either to the Board, or
to any set of persons other than those, by whom the
authority would have here to be exercised, if care
the Country Duty rate had been the rate payable in
these as in other places.

As to the two House Dock Yards viz: Deptford &
Woolwich, they no special mention of them is necessary on
this [+]

[+]this occasion, in as much as they are already included situated within the true London limit of the proposed London District.
