Is It not a comrdon practice, that that sort of bail
is tendered, which is known by the name of Jew b til?
Not Very frequently ; it is more feevently k ..wn at
Westminster Hall in civil 'matters, thati it is in crimi.
mil proceedings ; but
.it will make its appearance
soMetimes, and in general, when they ara known. we
reject them or not, as we think proper ; but that de-
pends entirely Upon- the nature of the case; if it is
satisfactorily made out, that they are of such a de-
scription AS is mentioned, we reject them.
Do you happen to know, whether of the estimate
that are directed to these bail, the money is looked
after and paid into the Exchequer?—That is out of
my power to ray, I know nothing about it; I know
this, that the securities, and the account of the
nizances that are taken by the different Police • t
are kept, and returned to the Sessions.: Of thatnum;
bet there will, however, be a great minty indeed, where
the parties having done their duty, their recognizance:
are discharged. Some people will, ultimately, have
their recognizances remaining before the Clerk of the
Peace, who invariably, upon the appearanie of the in-
dictments, sends tO the ether parties to come mid take
them up, or else therwill be estreated ; and really, I
believe, as to the &twine of estreats and forfeitures;
ptotuctive tot great inconvenience to the public.
There is a great deal to be said to you upon that sub.
jest, wh:u you come to inquire int() it; but I profess
twysell to ignorant, that' I caunot give any ittforma-1
two upon st.
Do you attend ihrihiensing of the different public
houses within your district?--At present, fvle, cat.
qehoun having been ill the Office long hefcre.l came
tilere,.and hawing to my certain knowledge taken
great pains to eitqui4 as to the propriety or inipto-
priety of certain atiahbuseshaving liceitses, and having
undertaken hirdselt ter Attend to that business, I have
never yet appeased at the meetings, brit% ',affect!),
persuaded, that he is a man not to be affected by any
improper motives.
• Have you many comphints laid before your Offieel
of the misconduct of victuallers and publicans?—Nitt
&great many. We have this particular advantage,
that ae there is within our parish a military station,
that is to say, of the Guards; it is the practice 3f the
military cffiCels or serjeants. by way of looking after
their own men, to be called upon by one of our olfi•
errs, who got* with them into all the publiphouses,
under the West c,f. searching for the soldiers who may
happen to be there. By these means, the publicans
get rid of the people at a reasonable hriur, stud con-
sequently the public-houses are kept quiet and well.
ordered, ana they are shut up at an early hoisv. This
ri4res.pecting therni.itary,.ptevents a great degree
of riot that might otherwise take place.
- Have you any'lour fixed within your district, within
which the public houses shall shut up az eleven
o'clock, and we contrive to keep them pretty near to
it. We scarcely omit a night without sending an of-
ficer wand, with a patrole, to tea thiit they Are shut
up at 41. proper time, and in the morning tie generally
*ski-who latent with the pat+ ole last alight so that that ,
is the means of preserving a particular degree of
tranquillity here, and it keeps the publicans in order;
and then they know that Mr. Colquboun, who makes
it his business to attend toahese matters, would make
a complaint against. the -person who nii6conducted
himself on the general licensing day ; and therefote I
believe the publicans are vet y well managed amongst ,
us. We are, however, sabject to the obvious iaceit-
renience of having within one district, other public-
houses and •Kin-shops,. which are licensed by the
Board of Green Omit.
Can you give cis any information respecting those
licenses ?—All those public-houses and gin-shops 1
about Chasing-cross, and vine), other places, are li-
censed by the Board of Green Cloth, Sometimes
representations are made, not particularly by me, but
by other Magistratera to the Board of Green Cloth,
complaining of the conduct of those. publicans and
gin-shop keepers.. The complaint comes from us,
bat they license them in spite of our recommendation
to the contrary. In and about Charing-cross, them
are a great number of evils which we cannot controul,
only because the Board of Green Cloth license those
houses.
What jurisdiction hes the Board pf, Green Cloth ?
—Sioailar to the Magistracy, they are the hlagie-
irides of the parish ; they have 'a jorisdictioo ageord.
ing to certain ptiviteges ; not that I can stiggest any
kind of impropriety' on the pun of the Board of Green
Cloth, The goad nature of these gentlemen prompts
them to do many things, which. if they -knew the
consequences. Tains sure they would not do. -
Should you..consider that an opinion coming from
your Office against any victualler. or holder of a puts.
livhouse or gin-shop within your jurisdiction, is likely
to have weight with the licensing hiagiatrates sr with.
the Board of Green Cloth, in taking away those
menses _tor , improper conduct ?—I should certainly
suppose they :total& do us the honour to attend
to every representation of that sort ; but simply for
the hellcat of the public in that pact of the town, I
should think k is much fitter that the power of Leen-
siug bbould be with the Magistrates, radial. than with
the Board of Green Cloth.
From your experience, have they paid much atm'
"ion to aurse recommendations?—Not knowing where
4srecisely to.hit upon the fact, I cannot say ; 1 rather
I,latisk it has; but I think Kr. Colquboun has named
vitae that have been mentioned to the Board of
Green Cloth ;` I think that was about twelve months,
ago. -
