Observations
II Board
1. To a local authority rather than to the
Treasury, the Secretary of States Office in the Board because it
proposed Board (in which latter case the nomination
is only by local vicinity and personal
acquaintance that any sufficient judgment can be formed
of the qu personal qualifications of individuals candidates.
though formally in the
Board would be substantially
in one
or other of the two superior
authorities)
to a local rather
than to a distant central
authority, because if
+1 (responsible
to act to the public
at least
in point of reputation
2. To an under a single Magistrate member selected
from the whole body of licencing Magistrates rather that there
than to the whole body that there
may be a determinate and conveniently
situated individual responsible in each instance<add>+1 for the propriety
of the choice, and that, +2 in default of there may be a
mass of patronage collected in one <add>a single hand, of sufficient magnitude to
afford an adequate and appropriate
recompenses, and that two more apposite as well as more
economical than a pecuniary one
for the trouble burthen of the office £2. To an authority
distinct from and independent of in a manner unconnected with the Board
for again another reason, viz. that the power of placing
and the power of displacing may rest in different
hands. +3 If both powers were in the Board, the
danger would be that in case of unfitness on the
part of the subordinate, the particular member of the superior whose
Board to whose recommendation he owed had been indebted for his appointment from
the Board, would (by the motives, whatever they were
that gave birth to the recommendation, reinforced
by sentiments of sympathy and commiseration)
be induced to continue his protection and support to the subordinate, notwithstanding
his unfitness; and the other numbers of the Board
rather than give offence to a colleague in whose company they
were desired to pass so large a portion of their
lives
+2 in a case where
pecuinary
is not intended to
be allowed.
+3 If neither power
were in the Board -
neither that of selecting
such subordinates it
seemed likely in their judgment to prove fit
for the situation, nor
that of ridding the service
of one whose
unfitness for it had
been made known to
them by experience,
this would stand
chargeable with mischiefs which they had
no power to prevent,
and with disorders
which it would be
which they have in
out of this
power to remedy.
