the motivation of duly supervised licensed Houses they have gradually diminished from 80 to 40, 30, 20, 17 and fallen to 16, the lowest number we have yet reached.
I next enclose the return received from the Licensees of the number of Servants and others turned away from the licensed Houses in the course of the month, one of the Regulations which accounts for the above most remarkable reduction in cases of Larceny by Servants. It is said in that return that 186 persons have been sent away, but of course I cannot check the return.
Amongst servants, that is a considerable number. The diminution of Crime, however, lends a probability to the accuracy of the return. I may here observe that Mr. Baldwell's report of illegal gamblers and suspicious characters, which accompanies the last return, claims fewer arrests through his agency than admitted by the Police in the return compiled from their charge sheet. This is satisfactory, evincing no tendency to exaggeration.
Finally, I will only trouble Your Lordship with one more document on the subject, namely, the last weekly reports of the Inspectors charged with the duty of visiting all the Licensed Houses at uncertain periods and reporting each week exactly what they notice. I consider their reports highly satisfactory.
