Police Revenue Bill

§. 10. [ 1 ] [ To the end that ] This section together
and the following I have taken the liberty to add for the
consideration of the author of the Instructions. The
reason of it is given in the Preamble, which may be
either retained or struck out, as may be deemed most
advisable. The distinctions in dress should be such
as are visible at the greatest distance: two colours
for example, as much contrasted as may be, alternating
in a very broad stripe. The hint of
prohibiting habiliments favourable to depredation,
that is, to the concealment of goods in large quantities,
is taken from the information accompanying the Instructions,
which speaks of these habiliments as
made use of for the purpose of depredation in
the existing order of things. Uniforms, when
well adapted to the particular purpose they have in
view is a useful one, and they are well adapted
to that purpose, are pleasing to the imagination as
well as to the eye, and have the general good effect
of familiarising men's minds to ideas of order and
good government.

The distinction between the unif Lumper's uniform, and the
Hawker's uniform
should be as striking
as possible: both having
business on board the
ships, but the one having
business with the Cargo,
the other having no
business to meddle with
it, or with any part of it.
§. 10 [ 2 ] [ Not belonging to such classes ] If persons at
large were not bound to abstain to be restricted from wearing these
distinctions, as well as the persons while the particular persons in question are bound to wear them,
the intended distinction would might be obliterated: and, without such
prohibition restriction the result would not be an improbable
one, since the persons who found their unlawful
designs impeded by the distinction, would neither
want motives nor means for engaging others to do
whatever was not rendered they could do could be
done with safety towards the obliterating it.
