EMLPOYMENT OF EXTRA CONSTABLES.

An application was made on behalf of the South
Eastein Railway Company that the Court should
sanction the swearing in of certain persons to act as
extra constables at their station in Cannon-street.

Alderman WILSON opposed the application on the
grounds, principally, that these extra constables, as
they were termed, were totally irresponsible and be-
yond the control of the magistrates of the City,
and if they misconducted themselves the public had
no remedy, so far as the magistrates of the city
of London was concerned. The police commis-
sioner of the City he knew had a strong objection to
the practice that had hitherto prevailed, and he (Col.
Wilson) had a strong opinion that it would be much
better that policemen under the control of the com-
missioner and the magistrates of the city of. London
should be employed to perform the duty of preserv-
ing order at a railway station than that those extra

the application, and the Court was reminded that
the whole matter was at present under the conside-
ration of a committee, and it
was urged that, at all
events, until that committee had made its report it
would not be advisable to alter the system that had
so long prevailed.

An amendment was ultimately proposed by Alder-
man WILSON that, pending the report of the com-
mittee referred to being brought up, the considera-
tion of the application be postponed.
Upon a division this amendment was declared to
be carried by a majority of one, the numbers being
seven in favour of it, and six against.
Mr. Alderman STONE then moved another amend-
ment, that pending the consideration of this subject
by the committee the application of the company
should be granted.
This amendment was negatived, and the applica-
tion, therefore, stands over for further consideration.
The court shortly afterwards adjourned.
