Copy of the T
Letter addressed by theN Secretary of State for 1
Home Departraent to Mr. Wray, the Receiver-Generalta°
Metropolitan Police, in consequence of a report of a C°,,,
mittee of the House of Commons upon the South-Es"—
Railway Company's petition.

Whitehall, July 19, 1845.ent
Sir,—l forward to you, for your information, in the el,
of
of your not having already perused it, a copy of the rePnr!
the Select Committee appointed by the House of Conoll' t,
inquire into the allegations of a petition from the South-Deaf.
ern Railway Company; together with the minutes of evid
takers before that Committee.
ill
I have learnt with regret from this report, that you were,
the year 1836, while holding a responsible office under Goovrn:
ment, retained as a paid agent of a private company t Preuf:
mate the success of a Bill introduced into Parliament on tilt;
behalf; and that you were engaged to canvass Members of.
House of Commons in favour of that measure during its Pro-
gress through Parliament.
It now becomes my duty to convey to you my strong do
probation of the course which you thus pursued. I du 0/
think it necessary, on the present occasion, to express.
n
opinion whether the due performance of the duties of Receir!..,
General of Police might or might not have been, in tbe butr
instance, compatible with private practice as a barrister ;
I can entertain no doubt that your interference, especially
theal
paid agent in canvassing Members, must tend to weaken t
confidence of the public inithe impartiality of the Governs:oo_
whose officer you are, and materially to impair your efficien3
in the performance of the official duties which are °nuns'
to you.
I am informed that for some years past you have abstaieed,
from accepting any professional engagement as a barrister..:.
approve of your having done so, and I expect that for the lu
ture the same course will be invariably pursued by you. 01 I
The duties of your office are onerous and important, s,er.
consider it absolutely necessary that henceforth the Renelb"oo
General of the Police should confine himself entirely to
t „
duties; and any departure from this rule will be regarded
outr.
me as a sufficient ground for your removal from the aPP°I
ment which you now hold.—l am, &c., AM.
