Observations on §
The use of this is to keep out persons, who in
consideration of the badness of their character might
be disposed to change their names.
§ 6. [ §. 29. [ 1 ] [ 80 ] Page 58 [ For what . . . . time . . . . articles . . . . shall . . . .
remain . . . . without . . . . alteration. ]

§ 7. 6. [ 9 ] [ Alteration ] In the Instructions, a particular
time was proposed to be fixed by the Statute Bill itself, as the time during
which no alteration should be made in the appearance
of the goods: and the provision in the Horse-slaughtering
Licence Act abovementioned (26. G. 3. c. ) forbidding
the taking the hair off from the skin of an animal
when flayd, is a provision an instance of a provision established by the legislature itself, and directed to the same end:
but if, such instead of imposing the restraint by
the Statute itself, power of imposing it according
to circumstances be given to the Board, the efficiency
of this provision may thus be increased on the one hand,
while it may be is kept clear from producing vexation on the
other hand. That there are some sorts of goods as that may be kept
any such definite time without change unaltered without
inconvenience is unquestionable: but to say that
that would might probably be found to be too much to say then of all sorts of second-
hand goods without exception, and in all circumstances.
The Board might enter without difficulty
into all these distinctions, and administer a prompt
remedy to any inconvenience it may happen to have given birth
to, by any such regulations on this head: but all this is
far beneath, and thence beyond the power of the legislature. Inefficient
or inefficacious vexatious, or both together, such will be apt to
be the fate of any regulation made in relative to such a subject
if flowing from such so high a source.

§ 7 [ 2 ] [ Purchase money ] §. 29. [ 2 ] [ 88 ] Page 58. [ . . . What proportion of the purchase-money . . . shall
be received . . .] The advantages of derivable from a provision
to this effect are obvious: but neither does it seem altogether
free from objections, which however are done away
by committing the business to the discretion of the Board
Where the urgent distress is the cause of sale, the hardship resulting
from this suspension of relief, is obvious, especially in a situation
where
where there are no
Pawnbrokers:
a class of persons,
of whom but a
small number in
proportion to population
are found elsewhere
than in and about
the Metropolis
and, in
case of collusion between
a Receiver and a Thief,
the provision may be seems
liable to be evaded, by
increasing the price
nominally demanded
in such manner that
the proportion allowed
to be paid down shall be equal to the price really required. By details such as the Board could give, this objection might perhaps be obviated.
