Police Bill Preliminary
Observations

Classes
already
subje under the
authority
of other offices

To compleat the plan, besides the classes of Hawkers,
Hackney Coach-keepers, and Hackney Chair-Keepers,
whom it is necessary in the course of the present
Bill to assign over to the jurisdiction of the proposed
Board of Police, for the purpose of suppressing the
two offices to which they are at present subject, there
remain the several classes of 1 Auctioneers, 2. Pawnbrokers
(as such) 3 Horse-dealers, 4 Post-Horse-Letters, and
5 Stage-Coach-Keepers. But these being all of them
subject at present to the jurisdiction of other offices
and having all of them afforded been made taken for the subject matter
of regulation by existing Statutes, the attr
placing them under the jurisdiction of transferring them from those offices to the proposed
Board, would besides the danger of operation, require
a matter to be comprehended in the present such a quantity of matters <add> as are according to the </add>
mode of drawing, would form too heavy a load for the present
Bill: since it would be necessary either that the
whole mass of existing regulation relative to these several objects
should either be adopted in toto and without change
or else revised, in which latter case so many alterations
would be requisite to adapt the existing system to
the new plan, and so-much resitut of Statutes
within Statutes would be necessary for the purpose,
that the task would be endless shortest and
indeed only possible course would be to establish a
new code on each the subject of of these occupations repeating
the existing each head. in the all <add> the existing regulations Statutes and parts of Statutes relative to that head.</add> On
this account the leaving those parts of the plan unfinished
for the f out of the present Bill is a sort of omission, that seemed altogether
unavoidable.
