Out of the London District there might be
some difficulty about the expense of Police Warehouses. If
powers were given generally for the providing them
at the expense of the respective Counties, the Country
Gentlemen would be apt to take alarm, at the source
here opened for jobs and taxes enhancement of rates. On
this account it is here proposed to throw the expence
upon the Police Fund: which makes it necessary
that the Board should have a controul over it.
Under the clause for employing making the Warehouses of offenders
answer the purpose, the Board will hardly
think of establishing any such Police Warehouses
but in here and there a great Town, such as
Bristol Manchester or Birmingham, where it is has
been made clear by experience, that the amo share of the Police Fund in the produce of the
forfeitures will pay cover the expe rent of the Warehouse.
In such cases the Surveyor would be the natural
and proper Warehouse-Keeper, and the use of the
a part of the House for lodging in, would form part
of his emoluments.

§ 7. [ ] [ Police Fund ]. p. 13. The giving the the moiety of the forfeiture
to the Police Fund will help help to defray the charges of
Warehouses thrown as above mentioned, and save the embarrassments
which occurr where the it is given to the Poor
of the Parish, and the King. In both these cases its arrival
at its place of destination is very precarious, particularly
in the latter: and in the former it has frequently the effect
of tainting with incompetency the evidence of the only
persons from whom evidence can come, unless the Statute
is loaded with a clause for the purpose of preventing this
absurd and mischievous effect.
