• POLICE OFTHE METILOPOLM.

MINUTES OF YVIDENCE TAKEN BEFORE THE. COM-
PAITITE OF nig HOUSE OF COMMONS. ON THE
S l'A I E OF THE POLICE OF THE METROPOLIS.
Sir Jona Sti.Varrea, Bort. F. IL S. Itotorder of Me'
'City of Lon**, called in, and mound.
How loa" hen yhu been Recorder of the City of
London ?—Thirtken years; I was chosen In 1803.
From your aabse•vations, since you have filled that
situation, do you think that the progress of crime in
the Mei ropolis is considerably on the =ream
.numbers certainly, but in depravity not by any
means; we have less depravity now than ever we
had.- -
You mean by. that, less serious *SIMI ?—Less
, serious ofencei. '

Slave offences considerably increased amongst the
juvenile part?—They hale; but when you consider
.the proportion of children,. I do not think they beet
increased in proportion. I was lately looking to a
return of the parish schools in the parish I live in.
and found 300 at one schooland 4.00 at another. and
SOO at another; and last Thursday there were 12,000
children at St. PAW. which chews what an im-
mense number of children there are.
You think the increase, according to the returns
laid before Parliament, of the number of offences, is
more From the augmented population than from the
augmentation of crime ?—Yes, certainly. There are
several things which teed to increase felonies, cer-
tainly, not only the population, but many other things.
Will you be so good as to state to the Committee
what, in your opinion, added to the increased popu.
lotion._ are the causes that have a tendency to aug.
ment crime ?—There are several; first, the postasffici
hour being changed from eleven err twelve o'clock at
inittht, which we all remember, to seven and eight
o'clock, by which numberless young men in all situa-
tions, merchants clei ks bankers and attornies' clerks,
in short, every young man is dismissed et an earlier;
hour by eight o'clock, when the p.,st goes out, they
rare at complete libel ty. which was not iu my younger
days the case.
Do not you think that the system of out door ap-
prentices which has much increased, has a bad effect
on the morals of youth ?--pCertaioly. I think so most
undoubtedly, that the out door apprentice sytaent is a
great evil ; and I am verysorry to see that the statute
of Elizabeth is not enforced, where a =us was Coin-
, paned to take apprentices.
Will you proceesi to state any other causes, besides
that you have mentioned ?—The very cosi access td
London. The moment a man commits depredations
in the eallatrit 4414 is known, his access to London is
the easiest thing in the world, and that brings Lon-
don as a point, where he is almost sure to meet with
a more easy mode of committing depredations • not
only the population is greater, 'glut the objects of de-
predation are increased.
And he is better concealed ?—Yes. And the num-
ber of persons out of employ is another cause.
Do you -think that the indigence ot the lower' or-
ders of the Metropolis has considerably increased
within these few years ?—I do not know that it has.
But you sec not only people come to town, but many
debtors awe brought to 012 Metropolis, who are guilty
of frauds; and the line between fraud and felony
is so very narrow, it is easily broken : a man begins
with fraud, and frequently ends in felony. I am
afraid that the number ot felonies always increase
attet Insolvent Acts. Another cause of increase,
I am very
.tree to soy, is owing to the capital part
being taken off from the privately stealing from the
'person; that offence has increased beyond conception,
in largo gangs. -
Do you not think that the readiness with which
individuals ate novLioduced to prosecute for that
afore, in consequence of the Capital punishment
'heihg taken off. and the result of that prosecution
being generally transportation, which is milder than
that or death, hes a tendency to check it ?—No; I
think that is a fallacy.
Has it not increased the number of prosecutions ?
rarrens not believe that any nun was ever deterred
n prosecuting ; a man need not bait laid it as
privately stealing. from his person, he asig4t have
laid it as a common larceny.
In ppint of fact. are there not now many more pro-
seetnions for that offence than formerly ?,--There are
many more prosecutions, certainly, because there ate
many more offenders ; but there are many Ulan escape.
prosecution, it is an offence so easily dame and so
difficult of detection.
Do you think that all• persons receiving the sentence
of transportation, consider such a. sentence as a pu.
nishnsentl—l cannot well. answer that question.
Do net you think that the extended system of edn
catkin, which is making much ,progress about the'
bietropofts, has also been one of the causes which
has a tendency at least to diminish the increase of
crimes await the younger classes !—I think it has,
and will-dissunish them; but et this moment I think
,the -*reseed number of juvenile offenders arises,
first of ail, from the great number of children of con-
/jai that are let-loose on the public, and childrenof
isoldiers Who hum been killed, and who are left un-
protectedwand who tbeaffore take to wrong courses.
I hope: this coursed educations will be beneficial if
~tbey.instil• into them good principles; because mere
tediecation without priaeißle I hold to be ot no use.
Have youever at all been able to obtairiany thing

,do you think that the tenity With which the eapithl

' had equally that tendency ?.•Yes, 1 do; it is a Mb-
-lanchely thing to say.
Do you not think that theft has this enter hart

tent themselves With simple 'robbery, and hot add
murder to it, when the punishment ot death is almost .
confined entirely to the I,t.coffence, mikes decent
stances of cruelty accompany those, of robbery •
do think it has that effect, lot we have now no noel
'offenders* no extraordinary violence against the plea
son, as wo have had formerly ; and therefore that
was what made me say that the crimes are attended
with fewer instances of depravity than they weft;
they are more in number.
Therefore, the result 'of your observation is, that
though the sum total of the crimes is increased, the
gravameh of the Crimes is considerably less ?—'Must
certainly.
The Committee hate had before, them Many of the
Magistrates of the Metropolis, and have.been solici.
tcus to examine into the state of the Police, and into
the appararat causes of the accumulation of offenders,
as wed as the condition of the Police Itself; they
would wish to ask from you whether you have any
thing to suggest in the administration of the Police.
Which has come under your observation, to remedy
any of the evils which at present exist N.—Upon my.
word I have not ; I know so little of their mode a
carrying on business, that I cannot suggest ate opt.

west, if it could be done, which is, that there should
be some reward given for the detection and comic.
tion of receivers, because that is another mode of in.
creasin;r crime, by the ease with which people part
with stolen goods • if Ors could be preveeted, and a
greater difficulty ;brown in the way of disposing of
the property, the better it tem!!! be.
Has any plan suggested itself to your mind, in ad-
dition to the laws Which at preseet exist upon the sob*
jest I—l have thought of many things ; but the diffi•
cults, of suggeeting an alteration ot the laws is the
greatest of aiy I know; and above all, the danger
of trenching on the liberty of the subject.
It has been stated to the Committee by different
Magistrates, no less than by the Polite Officers them.
selves, that they consider the mode of rewarding the
detection of offenders, known by the name of Parlia.
mental y rewards, ai one which they look upon as
prejudicial to the public interest; and. which they
would wish to have changed) have you ane opinion
upon that subject ? —Yes ; I thick very ditfnently
I think that rewards do lot tend to any itneropee
ends. I thought I teigl tbe asked that question, and
I have brought with me a List of Rewards. On the •
first day of every Session, after conviction, I distri.•
bute then) nt the Old Bailey ; but I do not make a
distribution till I have considered every individual
case, and the merits of every witness upon the back
of the indictment; I then apportion the moat .s ac.
cording to the best of my judgment.
Do you know whether that is Ole practice at the
different Assizes in the country do not knee,
that.
Can you state to the Committee what is the amount
of rewards that you ordinarily annually divide ?—I
cannot.
Nor any thing like it ?--No ; it would be all
guess work.
Is there an account kept ?—Yes, there is an account
kept; the Sherd' pays it within a monde; and there.
lore be has an account. 1 sign the certiric ice as to
how it is disposed of ; but it is impossible to say the'
amount, it varies so much.
The evidence before the CoMmittee has net gone
so far as to say that no rewards should be given ; but
it has been proposed, not only by various Magistrates,
but also by the Police Officers themselves, that they
would be better pleased that the rewards should be
paid at the discretion of the Judge, of the Recorder,
se et the Police Magistrate, for services performed,'
than settled by Act Of Parliament in that manner
which is generally known' by the name of blood.
money, because all the'difereat parties have. stated
that they consider themselves as coming' into Court
with a stain upon their evidence ; and that it has
been. distinctly avowed by more Officers "thip one,
that they themselves have witnessed evidence given
against an offender, *apparently' for the sole porPthe
of getting the reward; the Committee wish`to learn
from you, whether in that view of lit ycu consider the
Parliamentary rewardi as the best mode ? I can only'
speak for myself ;'arid can say that I consider the
present 'no* as the best mode. I see great incest.
venieace inThe Police Magistrates distributing it;
cause they May be considered as liable to partiality
to their own Officers, it seems to me. I divide it
now, and no Act of Parliament could give me more
power than I have at present. They talk of blood.
money as applied to Officers; low and ignorant peo-
ple will do that ; but I do out 6od that the Poitte
Officers outstrip the truth, and it is perhaps bezinse
they knol that I watch them ; I find the Country
Constables much more anxious for the reward titan
Town Constablea.
Do you not see that the consequence of a settled
reward, to be paid only upon conviction, must at eel
times have a tendency to induce people to go very
far in their oaths, for the sake of what they are to
rain by that conviction f'-4 really have not seen that;
1 have seen it Fo.so fa* as for Juries to acquit; the
Officers know if I saw they went too far, when I dis.
;tribute I should say, I, You gave your evidence im.
`ploptely, and therefore I mast give less." But
;min, saw it.
If Juries are induced to acquit, Orli& justice is
thereby stopped ?—That se seldom happens, that it
has become scarce a question; I do no say it novae
happens.. (To of coteinued). , .
