As far as the proposed Board is concerned,
the true question supposing it to be + [what
it is shewn not to be] the tendency of anonymous
information when conveyd to persons in authority
to be productive of suffering to the transient — the true
question is whether that tendency would be is likely to
be receive any and what encrease from the any institution
as that of the proposed Board. The
answer is clearly in the negative, and that for
the reasons following.
1. In the first place it is not proposed that the
Board should encourage but on the contrary that it should discourage
the transmitting to it any of that branch
of information intelligence to which from the chief part or rather
the whole of the clamour that has ever been raised against anonymous
information taken its rise — viz. information of
relative to the offence against the State — but of
this afterwards.
2. In the next place it is not proposed that
it on whatever subjects topics information with or
without a name, may happen to be conveyd transmitted
to it should take any act upon it step at all in the
way of exercise of power exercisable upon
the person or property of any individual not even
of any such power as under the existing laws is
exercised by a Justice of the Peace. It may transmit
the any such information to any Justice Magistrate
and nothing but that the member of the
Board all or any of them may be Justices.
But whether Justices or not, it is not proposed
that in the consequence of any such information they
should be possessed of any power exercisable over property person
or goods, than than what exists already without the Board.
