Metropolitan Tolls.---The report of the Right
Ron. Viscount Eversley, the Hon. Colonel Pennant
was Mr. Wrightson, M.P., the Royal Commissioners,
presented to the House of Commons on
Friday. It is not yet printed, but it is stated
it shows that the Royal Commissioners took a
great amount of trouble in the inquiry, and
in the end they report in favour of what must be a
coercive measure against those parishes in the outer
area which have not taken to the roads like those
in the inner area. When printed we shall refer
again to the subject, but, it is satisfactory to see
that the Commissioners have been fully alive to the
necessity of stringent measures to induce the
parish authorities to get rid of what Sir George
ewis has termed the " metropolitan strait waist-
coat " six miles round London.
