Police Bill Preliminary
Observations

1. Licentiandi
Home Police Bill

5. That the changes from the existing to the proposed system, will not in this instance be productive attended of any
loss of existing power, since the Justices who would have had
the granting the licences under the existing Act, had it
found execution, will have the granting them under
the new proposed Act, but with an exercise of power, since
now under the new Act the grant will be discretionary in the general footing in this as in other instances whereas now it is
matter of course.

As to the remaining classes [+] [+] already subject to licence duties viz: Pawnbrokers, Auctioneers, Letters of Post-Horses, and Keepers of Stage-Coaches the difference in point
of advantage betwixt the suffering them to continue existing system and the proposed
system under the present footing and the them
under an the new one is not so considerable , but what
the public may wait for it without much inconvenience for till after the establishment of
the proposed Board. without — Pawnbrokers
are already in effect subject to brought within the discretionary powers
of the Board in their quality of Forfeited-Pledge-takers
[+]2 [+]2 an occupation so which appears so indispensable an appendage to the principal part of their business, that there seems little reason to apprehend that the any such professed duty, though it were much heavier than it is, should induce cause them to give it up in any instance to give it up. 2. In regard to Auctioneers, the demand
for the species of which in question is not of any great urgency. 3.& 4. The
same may be said of the classes of Post-Horse-Letters
and Stage-Coach-Keepers, who at present for the purpose of
purposes have been now subjected to a very complex set of regulations,
which could not be broke in upon without a good
deal of consideration. 5. S In the instance of Horse-dealers indeed
the demand seems to be more urgent: but to include
them in the system with effect might require a
set of regulations not yet matured. What I have
in view is the small tax that has been proposed on the
transfer of this kind of property a plan which considered
merely with a view to the object for which it was
proposed, viz: in affording an additional surety against
this branch, stealing of horse stealing, would hardly be found to pay
perhaps, in point of security for what it would be the cost of it
in p the way point of trouble and inconvenience; but which at the same time if the
benefit in point of revenue were taken into account, might
not made to answer found as a measure not ineligible upon the whole
