It appears, from the return of the number of persons
committed for criminal offences in England and Wales, that crime
.his increased nearly one-third since 1822. In that year the number
tommitted was 12,241, and every year It had gone on increasing
sill 1827, when the number was 17,921. The commitMents in
London and Middlesex bear nearly the aim, proportion. In 1822,
they were 2,539, mad, in 1827, 3,381. It is singular enough, how-
ever, that though the convktiosis in 1827 ezcreded those of 1821
by one-third, being in the proportion a 11,564 to 8,788, the num-
ber of executions is la the inverse order. In 1821, the number was
114; in 1827,70. The separate returns for London and Meditate
give the same result, and show that .the number of capital offences
committed in 1821 was much greater thin in any of the last seven
years. In London there were t :rested 29 persons in 1821 ; and,
in 1827. only 17. The proportion of commitments to convictions
le as three to two, being, for the whole kingdom, 99,822 commit-
aunts, and 68,249 convictions; and, for London and Middleton.
12,815-commitment,, and 12,601 convictiows. One satisfactory

conclusion may be drawn from these returns—though the number
a closes has increased since 1821, those ohm atrocious description
Mee realty decreased.
