9th. Power to be granted to the Commissioners of the Navy, or any one Justice, to issue warrants, on proper information upon oath to Peace Officers, to search for King's stores, _without any proof of such stores being actually stolen, taken_, or _carried away_. The power of the Commissioners in this case to extend to all Counties in England. 10th. The Laws relating to falsifying, erasing, or fabricating _documents, vouchers, books, accounts_, or _writings_, of any kind, with an intent to defraud his Majesty, to be revised and amended, so as to apply more pointedly to offences of this nature. 11th. Persons in his Majesty's service in any of the Dock-yards or Public Arsenals, having King's stores in their possession, to the amount of 5_l._ value, and not being authorised to keep such stores, to be conclusive evidence of embezzlement, and to be punished by transportation. 12th. As an encouragement to excite vigilance in Officers of Justice, it is humbly proposed, that the Commissioners of his Majesty's _Navy, Victualing, and other Departments_, should be authorised, and required by Law, to pay the following rewards for the conviction of offenders, on the certificate of Judges and Magistrates, before whom such convictions took place-- 40_l._ on Conviction for any Capital Offence. 20_l._ on Conviction for Felony, punished--Transportation, Fine or Imprisonment, or Whipping, before a Superior Court. 10_l._ for Misdemeanors, by Indictment before the Quarter or General Sessions of the Peace. 2_l._ for Convictions before Justices for Minor Offences. From such _Legislative Regulations_ infinite would be the advantages which might reasonably be expected, when by the establishment of a Naval Police System, their due and proper execution would be rendered certain; and also, in all cases, where the evidence against offenders, although perfectly conclusive as to the fact, may be deficient in some points of legal nicety, by putting the _onus probandi_ on the offender, and treating it as a minor offence: the ends of Public Justice will, in a great measure, be answered by inflicting some punishment on the offender, and however inferior it may be to what he deserves, it will still have an excellent effect, since it is not so much by severe punishments, as by the certainty of _some punishment_ being inflicted, and the obloquy of a conviction when offences are committed, that Delinquents of this class are deterred from the commission of crimes.
