What is the regulation as to age?-4 do not think them is apispecitie regulation; we. Ape, one man bee twenl sixty anctsevertty years of age.. and deaf. Who appoints the watch ?—They ate 'appointed by the Watch Board. . • Are there many applications fa appoint men?.?— Many application', • • Do they generally take persons that reside in the parish ?—I think pot. lt has bean my practice every! night, when I have been constable, except when 1 was ill, to go and superintend the watch till.slier midnigl t.

He states, that he has himself now the superintendence of the watch ; that the number watchmen i, 21 ; that they had the same number•beti lore; but now they.ase better looked alter, because the late treasurer was a very old gentlemen, and he was. and did not seem to manage the watch at all. - The folloaiog answers, given by Mr. GregOry, are important, as, tending to show the lamentable state to; which an important district of the metropolis may-be reduced by neglect, 4nd the advantage (the IhcEd ad vantage at least) of esseitions made be the improvement if the Polies. Have your occupation and residence enabled you to make any particular observations as to the state of the lower population in Sp , talfierds?—lt has; some years agn the stats ditto parish was so bat!, that there were 120 of the inhabitants sworn in as special constables, put under my direction; there were such depredations people could not gO along the streets, and she police of the district were not sufficient for the protection of the district ; I consulted with Mr. Beville, the Magistrate at Worship-sweet, and we used to patrol the streets from dusk until the witch was set. - , What is the comparative state of the district-of Spi talfields now, with reference to what it was at chat time?—lt is much better now, because we were the means of bringing to justice a great number of very daring offenders ' some were executed , several were transported s one of our special constables, of the name of Reynolds, a very efficient man, resided at the corner f Roper -street, that is the next street to Wentworth sti eet, ehich used to be the worst place its tbe InttTe polls, and from his axe and perseverance, and my own and many others, we certainly got rid of, I suppose, from twenty to forty, some of whom were Aranspeeted, and some were banged.

Another witness Irons the same.place states, that the watch costs alma one hundred a year.; that there has been nn depredat.on since its establishment ; that the fund for its.support has fallen off, and they ale vow !educing the number or watchmen. He a3cts, that the respectable people who voluntarily go out to assist the, police find it- an inconvenient operation. They com plain of getting cold ; some have had severe sore throats, and , they have declined going out in a great , measure. This witness -.states, that in the two adjoining pa rishes, where there is not so efiCient a watch as there is, in Acton, crime is increasing dreadfully. There is scarcely 'night without something mewling; the most Audacious herglaties,and robbetie. are committed. A witness resident in Chelsea gave evidence, of which the following is an extract t Do you bee at Chelsea ?—Upon the south side of I Kensington.Palace„ near Brampton.

What you call.fratures ?—Yes. Hare 'you' no police in your parish that would be suf ficient to prevent that sort of depredation?—%Ve bare in the adjoining districts; I find they bare watchmen, who collect raoney,,from the inhabitants; some pay 6d. some Is. and so forth; these people, after'they have been in two or three years, they collect probably Bs. 9s. or 10s. a week, and they cannot make a living out of, it. The inhabitants find that they get very little service from them, and tbey do not pursue the course thee 'Wight to do to discharge them. In the district where I live we collect our nsimey quarterly, in advance; we have appointed a Committee to manage the watch fund so collected,and the watchmen ateenperinteded . by that Committee. • Do you know anything of the state of the adjoining parishes; it they are in a good state or not ?—Why, the adjoining parish if Chelsea is very much exposed; and, in fact, there is a t lace which may be known to the Committee, where Mr. Owen's Chapel wa', (he was Secretary to the Bible Society), going down to Batter• sea Bridge, by Little Chelsea, a place called Park-place; last winter there u ere five or six houses robbed ; thorn was one of these old men who collected the wages weekly ; the old man told me his wages had once bees u high as 2Si. a week, and now he collects 7s. but be hat not bread, and cants. t afford• to do his duty. The people have withdrawn their subscriptions in come qutnce of the number of robberies—he is unfit for the duty. That is the general state of the parishes around that part ?—Yet. • Mr. Thomas Julian, Clerk to the Magistrates of the Kensington Division, is asked, What is the state of the town of Brentlord as to de predations?—Very bad ; it is consign um to the rivet ; welave a deal of :leer plunder, and when they come up the river, they rob the town;:and go aw ty in boats. 1s that frequent?—Very.frequent, no doubt ; at these Petty Session., which are held on the.

Would there be any objection in the parish to rake a tate to enable Government to pay the expenses?—Why, uofortunately, in our parish they are very tenacious of these matters, and l cannot speak exactly as to bow that might be received at all ; we have a great many Quakers to our parish, and they will not go tore rots• cation if they can help it ; time *revery notorions pet. sons in-our village, who, when taken up, u'e might be able to deal with; but the Qtakers 'withhold tlietis of prosecution as fa ia'they cad.

Until the winter. I mak ray, our parish has been noted as being free from depredations; it , is considered to be an exceedingly well watched since tfie Month of Februat y. With reference to the whvla vicinity of the Metro. poll's. do you think it would produce a beneficial effect if there were a uniformity ssystem ? I apprehend it would be, of course; it is a matter of coarse ; I thick if all the parishes in London warp under the same sys. tern as outs (and if they were pnt w into one, it would in fact be similar to it), it would be p desirable thiag. Do you think there weak) be much jealoesy felt by the parishes, as to Government having the app&intassat of the establishment ?—i.think there would be. Your Committee will only refer to the evidence of one other Witness upon this part of the subject.
