Class of Affected
Pledge-Sellers
inserted for the
sake of including
Pawnbrokers —why —

§2[2][Pawnbroker] p.19. The object of the clause including inwhich includes
the list the of persons licenced the class of Forfeited
It is for the sake of bringing Pawnbrokers under the controul
of the discretionary licence system that the class of
Forfeited-Pledge-Sellers is put upon the list: and by
this expedient Pawnbrokers in general are in effect
included, though not by that under a different
name. By a clause in the Statute of 29 G.3.c.57.§.12, goo
and by that adopted in that of the 36 G.3.c.87.§.14, articles pawned for more than any sum above ten
shillings and not exceeding £10, are to be sold by
Auction: articles pawned for any sum not above 10s, must therefore be
sold by hand, or the business so far as concerns
articles not exceeding that value can not be carried
on, since a man who should money on such goods
would have no means of recovering it. [+] [+] There is not any class
of purchasers of second-hand
goods in the instance
of which the
demand for the controul
established by this System
is stronger thanin that
of Pawnbrokers: no
species of shop which
affords no moreso conspicuous
and general a
market for stolen goods
of all sorts, however
obtained. It were
to be wished the direct way of including this class
of dealers could be substituted to this indirect one:[+]2
[+]2 But this could not
be effected, without
overhawling the System
of regulation established
in the case of Pawnbrokers:
an operation
which that would require
a separate Bill, which
should confine itself
to that particular occupation.
and then, not only on the score of account of the complication
and embarassment, but because it seems such altogether
improbable, that under the discrete way, because
system under other application thus made of it
Pawnbrokers, a class of Pawnbrokers may start
have to show for a of the licensing
system, may refuse to lend any less sum than
10 s.+ + Prevented by the existing Act : per Colq. But this, as already observed is among the
tasks which it seems necessary to
