§.10
Power of fining

The use of the provision requiring the petition

any thing less than deprivation, it can in
no case amount to any thing more: under
which restriction, [+] [+] the punishment being optional it seems impossible that the
power of punishment thus added can be attended productive
with of any additional hardship.

Another good effect may occasionally be deduced
from the latitude of a discretion thus allowed, and
which could not so well have been produced by
any express provision in the Bill. A course
which (especially in the exercise of powers
of the nature of those in question) delinquency
on the part of the officer (such an Officer
as the proposed Survey Collector of Duties and
Inspector or Surveyor of licenced occupations with
the powers of a Constable) may be as apt to
take as any other, is that of producing some
little damage or inconvenience, some petty
oppression to the prejudice of the individual
subjected to the exercise of such powers. To give
to the Board or to any such permanent establishment an authority
in express terms the power of awarding damages in this or any
other case, though it was at the expense of its own
subordinate,
