[1][40]Page 24 §. (2)8 [ Principal Secretary of State ] Collection
Revenue being among the objects of the Bill
and the collection of Revenue among the functions of
the Board, its subordination to subjection to the Orders of the Chief Board of
Revenue was a matter of course. But Police
being the principal object, and the main use of
the Board being to serve as an instrument in
the hands of the Officer responsible in chief for
the state of the country in relation to matters of
Police, it seems equ still more necessary that
the Board should be subject to his Orders: at the
same time that if room was not
same time that if the it was not expressly made so, and room thus expressly made
for the exercise of this second authority the other provision
might have the appearance of excluding it being exclusive of it.
The subjection to different superiors for different
purposes does not appear to threaten pregnant with any real
difficulty: since in case of any doubts or differences respecting
the boundaries between the two Officers abstractedly
considered, the Council Board it is presumed, will
be deemed the competent authority for the settling of all such
doubts. In case of serious disagreement and contention it would be equally
improper and unnecessary to say any thing of the course
which the such an affair would take: the differences here
spoken of are more o differences of opinion on the
nature of the respective Offices abstractedly considered:
differences supposed to be confined to the intellectual
faculty, and not to have extended themselves to the affections:
but whether there were or were not any
thing of contention in the case, the Council Board,
it is conceived would be the competent and the only
competent authority for the settling deciding upon these settling of all doubts.
matters in doubt
