Police Revenue Bill

Observations
IV. Board
§5 continued
Bye-licences

true one, it to apply to the case of Alehouses,, and other Public House may
(under which denomination all Houses of public entertainment
are comprized) must, if it be the true one, apply
in a certain degree, to the case of the several occupations
proposed to be licenced under this Act:
but whether in a sufficient degree to prescribe
the rejection of this expedient of Bye-licences,
is what a question I shall beg leave to refer to them to whom
it belongs to judge. A circumstance
that makes a great
difference in favour
of Bye-licences in
the present case,
is the indirect control
possessed by
the Board as
abovementioned -
a safeguard altogether
wanting in the case
of Alehouses. Another
difference is the danger of being
an overstock & a in
danger the number of such places:
an inonvenience
distinct from
any that may result
from badness
of character and
which though it exists in to
a high degree in
the csae of Ale-
houses, seems to
have no place in
the instance of any
of the occupations
which comprized
in the present Bill.
The inconvenience resulting
from the want of such Bye-licences is that
of a man's continuing as far as to the amount
of nearly a whole twelvemonth, debarred from the
faculty of betaking himself to the occupation
which appears to him the most eligible for him:
a middle course might be the appointing several
times in the year, but all of them fix't times, suppose quarterly
for Bye-licences, i:e: licences to be granted
by persons never as yet licenced: reserving the
present general time, in the case of Alehouses, viz: from the first to the
twentieth of September, for the business of renewal of the licenses.
This accordingly is the course adopted in the Draught

provision in the text, the idea of which was taken from
the clause in the latest Ale-house-licencing Act [ 32 G. 3
c. 59. §. 1, 2. ]

§. 6. [ ] [ Three Years ] p. 4. The less frequently (if at all)
the party has changed his residence, the less will be
the trouble attending this part of the notice: the more
frequently, the greater the utility of demand for it
in point of utility, with a view to the exclusion of
bad characters
