METROPOLITAN POLICE STATION, &C BILL. '

On the motion for the third reading of this bill,
Sir li. Willoughby asked if the bill would throw any
.nereased charge on the Cons(Aidated Fund.
Mr. Massey replied in the negative.

Mr. Cox said there was a clause in the bill empowering
the police commissioners to raise and expend 60,0001 upon
the erection of police stations in the metropolis, Now he
thought such an expenditure unnecessary, and as the
expense would fall upon the ratepayers, he should take
the sense of the house upon the third reading.
Mr. Massey said the clause referred to gave the corn_
missioners power to mortgage the existing rates, in order
to raise the 60,0001; there would be no charge upon the
Consolidated Fund. •
Mr. Cox said what he objected to was, that the rate-
payers would virtually have to find the money, Now, if
these additional stations were really required, they should
be paid for by a vote taken in the Committee of Supply.

A division was then called, but ultimately the bill was
read a third time and passed without the house dividing.
