METROPOLIS LOC.A L MANAGEMENT ACT.

The four commissioners, Messrs. A. J. Wood, G. B.
Allen, A. Pulling, and W. D. Cooper, appointed by Sir
G. Grey, under the 4th clause of the new act for the
better management of the metropolis, to set out the
wards and apportion the number of the ve-tryinen
amongst the various parishes affected by the act, com-
pleted their duties yesterday, and had an interview with
Sir Benjamin Hall, at Whitehall-place, for the purpose
of reporting the result of their labours.
It appeared that the total number of the metropolitan
parishes and districts affected by the act was 34, of which
6, including St. Marylebone, St. Pancras, Lambeth, St.
George's, Hanover-square, Islington, and Shoreditch,
will elect two members of the Metropolitan Board of
Works. To each of these parishes, as possessing the
largest number of rated householders and the greatest
amount of rateable value, 120 vestrymen have been
assigned. The only district in addition to these parishes
to which an equal number of vestrymen has been appor-
tinned, is the Hackney district, which consists of the
parishes of Hackney and St. Mary, Stoke Newington.
The remainder of the parishes will elect each one member
to the Metropolitan Board of Works, and the City of
London three. The total number of wards into which the
parishes and united districts have been divided is 142,
and the number of vestrymen assigned to them 2,154, who
will be elected between the sth and 21st Nov., and upon
whose election all the powers exercised by the present
vestries will, with the exception of those relating to the
management of the poor, cease, and the newly-appointed
vestries, together with the district board, which they
may elect, will take upon themselves the entire manage-
ment relating to the improvement of the metropolis,
as respects the drainage, paving, and lighting, the re-
pairs of the roads, and other matters, so as to place the
government of the various parishes under one uniform
system of management. The act comes into operation
on the Ist of January, and will have the effect of
abolishing the powers now exercised by numerous bodies
of commissioners and trustees under local acts, many of
which have been obtained at great cost.
Of the 34 parishes named 11 the schedule, the commis-
sioners reported that six—namely, St. Giles's•in-tbe
Field's, St. Saviour's, Southwark, Rotherhithe, Poplar,
Hammersmith, and Limehouse—did not possess a suffi-
cient number of rated householders to enable them to be
divided ; they still, however, came withi❑ the operation
of the act, and as five of them contain nearly 2,000 rated
householders each, they will be entitled, under the pro-
visions of the act, to be represented by 24 vestrymen
respecti rely. The only parish which has been returned
as possessing less than 1,000 rated householders, and
therefore only entitled to he represented by 18 vestry.
men, is St. Saviour's, Southwark, the rateable value of
which, however, from the fact of its containing valuable
warehouse property, is nearly equal to some of the others.
The most valuable metropolitan parish is that of St.
Marylebone, which contains 13,410 rated householders,
the rateable value of the property therein being 933,2371.
There are five parishes, which have been divided into
eight wards, each being the greatest number allowed by
the act. They are St. Pancras, St. Marylebone, Lam-
beth, Islington, and Shoreditch. St. George's, Hanover-
square, although possessing 120 vestrymen, has but 7
wards. This arises mainly from the compact character
of the

In the course of the proceedings before the commis-
sioners the statistics had been furnished by the vestry
clerks and parish officers, and accurately compared with
the ratebooks, the act requiring that in the division of
the parishes regard should be bad to the number of rated
householders, and in the assignment of the vestry men
to the number of persons rated to the poor, and also to
rateable ♦alue of the parishes. The figures, therefore, have
been confined to the number of the rated householders,
persons rated, and the rateable value of the property.
Several meetings had been held in most of the parishes
before the necessary information could be obtained. In
most cases the maps produced were old, and as the act
required that the boundary of each ward should be laid
down in the Ordnance maps, and the definitions thereof
published in the London, Gazette, considerable difficulty
arose in accurately settling them, with due regard to the
convenience of polling, and to the adoption of clear and
well-defiled boundaries. The commissioners, however,
acknowledge the as,istance which they received from the
parish officers, and the willingness the latter evinced to
forward the views of the Government in introducing one
uniform system of local administration.
During the inquiry various questions of great import-
ance were brought under the attention of the commis-
sioners, with which, however, they had no power to deal,
respecting the settlement of the qualification of vestry-
men as well as the right of occupiers of compounded pro-
perty to vote in the election of vestrymen. Questions
were also raised as to what constituted a rated house-
holder, most of the local acts of Parliament treating the
owners of compounded property as occupiers for all
parochial purposes. The commissioners stated that with
regard to the first of these two questions the Secretary
of State had authorised a case.to be laid before the law
officers of the Crown. It had already been prepared, and
it was hoped that a decision would be given before the
first elections. Tho other point had been decided by
them in the discharge of their duty, it having been held,
both at Clapham and Hackney, that all persons rated
to any rate whatsoever in the parish, and as such in-
cluded in the rate-books, were to be considered as rated
householders. At Camberwell, however, where, under
the local act, the owners were absolutely rated for cer-
tain descriptions of property, it was held that, notwith-
standing the names of the occupiers were included in the
rate-books they were there for the purpose of descrip-
tion only, the compound ratepayers were entitled to he
treated as rated householders.

The sittings of the commissioners commenced on the
6th of Sept., and concluded on the 3d of Oct., meetings
being held daily for that purpose, The notices are to be
published on the 10th of Oct., and during the present
week the commissioners have been engaged i❑ preparing
their award. Twenty-one days' notice previous to the
election must be given. The power of determining the
order of the fir,t elections will rest with the churchwar-
dens, who by the 24th section of the act are empowered
to provide the necessary polling-places, the expenses of
the election being defrayed out of the poor-rate. In all
subsequent elections, however, the vestries themselves
are to provide the necessary funds by a vote, and also to
take proper steps for the publication of the notices, and
for making the returns of the elections.

This concludes the business of setting out the wards,
and apportioning the vestrymen for the whole of the me-
tropolitan parishes at present within the operation of
the act.

INCITING SOLDIERS OF HER MAJESTY'S
FOREIGN LEGION TO DESERT.

Anton Shurijero, a foreigner, took his trial at the
quarter sessions for the borough of Hythe, in Kent, on
the 3d inst., before H. P. Gipps, Esq., the Recorder,
for attempting to incite Christian Schmidt and Gustav
Lohmann, two privates of the British German Legion,
to desert.

Mr. Poland and Mr. Biron, instructed by Mr. Ewd.
Watts, of Hythe, on behalf of the solicitor to the Trea-
sury, appeared for the prosecution. The prisoner, who
came down from London, and who appears to be a per-
son of good address and education, speaking the language
of Prussian Poland, and strongly suspected of being a
native of Russia, was not defended ; and as neither he
nor the witness spoke English, Mr. Seeley, from Lon-
don, attended as interpreter.

The learned Recorder, in his address to the grandjury,
called their serious attention to the case by adverting to
the very grave nature of the offence at this time, whe❑
the country required the services of every soldier she
could obtain ; likewise to the fact that each soldier in
this legion had cost the country more than 161., and that
the practice of inducing to desert had, he regretted to
say, become frequent in the neighbourhood.
It appeared from the evidence of Christian Schmidt
that he and his comrade, Gustav Lohtnann (who was pre-
vented from attending the trial by serious illness, which
was proved to the court by the evidence of the surgeon
to the legion), had met the prisoner at a public-house in
Hythe, when " he represented himself to them as a Ger-
man exile, and wished them to go to London with him,
and that once there, they would be all right."
The prisoner's defence was that he was drunk, which,
however, was afterwards disproved by his own statement
in defence.

The jury found the prisoner guilty.
The learned Recorder (after informing the pri-over that,
although only a misdemeanour in law, the offence was a
very serious one, and that, in consequence of its being
the first convictio❑ under the act, and the prisoner hay-
ing already been ten weeks in confinement, the sentence
would be comparatively lenient) sentenced him to three
calendar months' imprisonment, but he (the learned Re-
corder) wished the prisoner and others most distinctly to
understand that in any future conviction a much heavier
sentence would be passel, in order to make an example
of all persons in anywise found tampering with her Ma-
jesty's troops.
