Observations
VI Speculation
(2)
of
Delinquency
Check to Magistrates
In the course taken endeavour and for obtaining the requisite
body of information, in question less ceremony will naturally be
used (and accordingly less ceremony is used
by the Bill) in the instances of persons of inferior
account, such as the Clerks in the several
Courts of regular procedure, the Jailers and
the Parish Constables, than in the case of the
Magistrates, that is the Country Gentlemen of the
greatest respectability in the several Counties.
In the former case, Penalties though moderate slight
and rather for show than use are avowedly employd: in
the other case, no p Penalty mention of any
penalty is introduced, except in as far as
a penalty pointed at the Magistrate's Clerk
if he happens to have one, may be supposed
to affect the Magistrate himself. But the
necessary penalties being pointed at the officers
of inferior account ((the Jailers and Constables)
they will these officers may through apprehension of these such penalties
be reasonably expected to furnish with tolerable
punctuality the documents expec required from
them: and by reason of the correspondence be and
necessary connection between that branch of information and that
which is required from the Magistracy, no
document can be furnished by either Constable
or Jailer, without indicating the demand for
a corresponding document to be transmitted by
and for some Magistrate. No Magistrate can
therefore ever be a defaulter in this respect, without
being pointed out as a defaulter, and in that
character applied to by his neighbour the County
Police Commissioner, or the Board, or both: and finally
by its [+] [+] nothing less will
serve by the Lord
Lieutenant of his
County, by whomse he
may be representation
to the Chancellor, he
might be left out of the
Commission if nothing
less will would serve.
