The leading principle of the Bill as already observed, is
the subjecting to controul and regulation the conduct
of the persons whom it subjects to the obligation
of taking out a licence. There are The classes in question are more or less
respected of being the present containing individuals who not only <add> whose dealings are at present are not only</add> auxiliary but wilfully
only eventually auxiliary but wilfully conducive
fully accessory to depredation or other
and it or for the purpose of preventing them from
being so in future is the object & with a view
by which the controul is then proposed to be applied.

But another principle though but secondary
and subservient an with reference to the former, is
the obtaining information: useful information such as may be of use with a view
to this as well as to other purposes of Police; and obtaining and may
information be obtainable from various classes of persons by
whose occupations tend to f afford them the means of obtaining it, and who, by
means of the influence afforded would by the
obligation of taking out the licence, may be induced to communicate it In two objects
to those departments of government which upon occasion will derive the proper
use from it. These two objects controul and information
may be considered as running hand in hand
in this instance of most of the classes: but there
are some instances in which criminality is
nearly or altogether one of the questions, and
the obtaining of information is the only object aimed
at. The several cases of Letters of furnished lodgings
Letters Keepers of Livery Stables, Letters of
Post Horses, and Keepers of Stage Coaches , may be
particularly mentioned in this view. Persons of this description those can
hardly be regarded as more liable than the rest of
the community to be in league with malefactors:
but malefactors as well as other persons will be leaving
dealings with them and coming under their notice:
and the indications which it may thus be occasionally be in their power to afford
with with regard to the
persons & motions of malefactors
constitutes what appears
a sufficient
ground for including
them in the licence
system, the
usually as the obligations they were which it will be necessary to subject them to for this new purpose, need add but little to those to which they are already subject for other purposes.
