It may only be necessary in this place to state, that under all the disadvantages and difficulties attending the execution of this design, it may truly be said to have worked wonders in reforming the shocking abuses which prevailed.--_The River Pirates do not now exist in any shape.--The Nightly Plunderers, denominated Light Horsemen, have not dared in a single instance to pursue their criminal designs.--The Working Lumpers, denominated Heavy Horse, are no longer to be found loaded with Plunder._--Watermen are not now as _formerly to be recognized in clusters hanging upon the bows and quarters of West India ships under discharge to receive plunder_.--Lightermen, _finding nothing to be procured by attending their craft, are accustomed to desert them until the period when they are completely laden.--Journeymen Coopers do not wilfully demolish casks and packages as heretofore, since no advantage is to be reaped from the spillings of sugar, coffee, or other articles.--The Mud-Larks find it no longer an object to prowl about ships at low water while under discharge, since the resource for that species of iniquitous employment, which they were accustomed to solicit, is no longer in existence.--The criminal class of Revenue Officers, who had long profited (in many instances to an enormous extent) by the nefarious practices which prevailed, have not been able to suppress their rage against the New Police, by the vigilance of which they feel themselves deprived of the means of profiting by the system of plunder, which they had so perfectly organized, and which, in collusion with the Revenue Watermen, they were so well able to cover by availing themselves of their official situations, on many occasions, in protecting to the houses of the Receivers articles which were both stolen and smuggled_. By means of a Police Guard upon the Quays, which forms a collateral branch of the General System, _the Scuffle-hunters and Long-apron-men, who were accustomed to prowl about for the purpose of pillage, have in a great measure deserted the quays and landing-places; while the Copemen and Receivers, finding from several examples which have been made, that their former infamous pursuits cannot be continued without the most imminent hazard, have, in many instances, declined business, while not a few of these mischievous members of society have quitted their former residences, and disappeared_. Such has been the effect of the remedy which has been applied towards the core of the enormous evil of River Plunder.
