THE COMMISSIONER OF THE
CITY POLICE.

The following is a copy of the letter of Mr.
Daniel Whittle Harvey to the Court of Aldermen, on
the subject of his privilege with regard to civic en-
tertainments :

" TO THE COURT OF MAYOR AND ALDERMEN.
".My Lord and Gentlemen,—lfeel it due to the
office I have the honour to hold, as Commissioner of
,the city of London police force, to solicit your, atten-
tion to the unsatisfactory position in which I am
placed upon occasions of public festivals, and espe-
cially on Lord Ma 3 or's Day ; and to request that
yourllonourable Court will make some definite order
in reference to it. I have been a liveryman of the
City upwards of forty years; I was a member of the
Court of Common Council some years ; I .was more
than twenty years in Parliament, a considerable por-
_tion of which time I represented the ancient borough
'of Southwark, and I am now in the eleventh year of
my present office; and at no one time have I ever
-asked for a ticket of admission for myself or a friend
to any City festival whatever. It will be obvious,
therefore,. that I am not seeking a privilege for its
enjoyment, but solely because I feel it incumbent
upon me to vindicate my responsible position from
the caprice of subordinate authority.
"For-the first six years after my appointment as
Commissioner I was indebted to the courtesy of the
soacgs4ye Lord Mayors for an appropriate place on the
9th of November for myself and lady, as indicated by
superior cards of invitation; but on the 9:h of No-
vember, 1846, I received a common card for a lady,
with no defined seat, and an intimation that there
was a place for the Commissioner. Upon going to
the hall on that occasion, I found my place the last
seat of the horse-shoe table, in a direct current of air
from the Guildhall-yard, incessantly_ moved to and fro
by waiters, and eventually wedged in by some twenty
or thirty occasional attendants, cooks, and the general
refuse of the kitchen, some of whom were particularly
offensive in their manners and their conversation.
Finding all remonstrance unavailing, I declined to
attend the two succeeding years ; for while every
member engaged on the committee of management
gave a courteous ear to my representations, no one
appeared to possess the slightest authority even to
vindicate his own pretensions, far less to redress the
complaints of others,

"A recent occurrence determines me to bring the
matter under the notice of your Honourable Court.
For the first time during the last ten years I received
no invitation to the Sheriff's inauguration dinner,
and upon inquiry I found, from Mr. Under Sheriff
Millard, that he requested the Remembrancer to
furnish him with the names of all persons whom it
was their custom to invite, and that mine was not of
the number.

" I did net conceal from that gentleman my
conviction that it was not an unintentional omission,
and at the same time mentioned my dissatisfaction at
the manner in which I had been treated upo❑ the two
preceding Lord Mayor's Days, and expressed the
obligation I should feel if he would, as one of the
committee, give the subject his attention, which he
promised to do, and made a memorandum to that
effect. I also mentioned the matter to other gentle.
men, whose connexion with the arrangements ap-
peared to me to entitle their suggestions to com,idera-
tion ; but a polite expression of a desire to obtain the
Commissioner an appropriate place was the sole result,
accompanied with an intimation that their authority
was merely nominal. At length, having received no
invitation for myself, and only a common ticket, with
no defined seat, for a lady, I obtained an interview on
Thursday afternoon, the Bth inst., with the committee
for conducting the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs' enter-
tainment, who, after hearing my statement, sent to
this office the next morning the following written
communication :

" "The CommissioLer of Police having attended
this committee, complaining of the seat appropriated
to him, and the committee having heard the Renlem•
brancer thereon, consider it desirable the Remenl-
brancer should communicate with the Lord Mayor
and Sheriffs upon the subject.'
" With the exception of a passing verbal message
given by the Under-Sheriff to a constable at the
gateway, while the Commissioner was with the com-
mittee, to the effect that they were going to the
Lord Mayor's committee, and would put the matter
right,' I have received no communication whatever.
I need hardly add, that under such circumstances I
did not attend Guildhall on the 9th of November.
" I have the honour to be, my Lord Mayor and
Gentlemen, your most obedient servant,
" D. W. HARYEY.

"Chief office, Nov. 17, 1849."

As the communication has been referred to a com-
mittee of aldermen, Mr. Harvey will be enabled to
ascertain to whom he is indebted for his exclusion, if
it should be continued.
