On Saturday a joint deputation from the vestry of
St. James's Westminster, and the Commissioners for
Paving and Improving the District, waited upon Lord
Palmerston at the Home-office.
Sir JOHN SHELLEY, Bart., M.P. for Westminster, in-
troduced the deputation, and read the report, which
objected to the cost of the police, in comparison with
the aid and assistance they rendered to the public, and
pointed out several specific grievances which required
immediate reform. Sir J. Shelley stated that he could
corroborate that part of the report which alluded to the
unequal distribution of the force. In riding from his
house to the Home-office, to meet the deputation, he
had counted four policemen on duty on Constitution-
hill—a number which could not be required there when
her Majesty was out of town, whilst in some of the
streets not a policeman was to be seen.

Mr. NELSON stated that the cost of the police to St. I
James's was double what they formerly contributed.
The population had increased 50 per cent., or one-half,
but the cost of the police for the metropolis (allowing
for extended districts and extra services) had been nearly
doubled, and it now amounted to the enormous sum of
upwards of 400,0001. per annum. The inhabitants had
no control over this expenditure, and no means of im-
proving the efficiency of the force. Under the Police
Act a minimum rate amounting to 6d. in the pound is
levied, whether required or not, and owing to the in-
crease of buildings, and the assessments, the amount so
raised is more than adequate, and balances of from
40,0001. to 60,0001. remain unappropriated, at the
end of the year, in the hands of the commissioners.
The introduction of the representative element was
essentially necessary ; it might be done by a police
committee in every borough or district of the me-
tropolis, somewhat similar to the police committee
of the City, a very useful link between the ratepayer
and the police commissioner. Local grievances were by
this means made known at head-quarters. It would also
be a great improvement if one of the commissioners
transacted his business in an open court, where any per-
son could lodge his complaint, instead of making it
known as at the present by means of correspondence or
deputations.. Measures of this nature would not destroy
the Government control, but would tend to economise
the expenditure, and add to the efficiency of the force.
Mr. Geesin, Mr. Clark, Mr. Bedford, and Mr.
Nicoll, also addressed the Home Secretary.
Lord PALMERSTON said, with reference to the open
court, he was afraid it would take up too much of the
time of the commissioner, but it was suggested that
some persons deputed by them might attend at certain
times to hear complaints ; the present system of pro-
motion was a source of emulation to the policeman. He
could not hold out any hope of decreased expenditure ;
he would, however, send the report to the Police Corn -
I missionere for their consideration.
