hati'never been well sivee he watt very ill used vome the. •

Pixplsin to the Committee the genera) nature of the este- ,-...-
hliehmem„ and .of. the duties allotted so :he foot patrol;
which is understood to he Under your suptrintendence?—
The foot patrol was estehilshed as long ago as the time .
of Sir John Fielding.: when I first had any thing to do
with it, was in the time that Sir Richard Ford was Chief''.
Magistrate; since that time has been more or less under •
my immediate superintendence; latterly I have devoted
a great deal of time to it. It was originally appointed i.t
consequence, I believe, of the great sumber of footpad
robberies that were committed in the immediate vielmte
of the metropolis. and sever it of them in the streets et .
London ; their duty was to patrol to the extent of
three or font Wfiles from [Arden. along the principal .
roads and avenues leading into Its but there was no
regular inspection, nor any one to look after the street
performance of their duty. until I was appointed to that
situation. Several alterations have taken plane since • •
that time: the first was, that a number of men were seat
oat of London, and stationed at the distatt .e of about
four miles, generally upon the principal roads leading
into the metropolis: it was then arranged that the niell•
no stationed at the outskit's at a given hour 1e trolled '
towards London, while another party set off at the same
time from the atones ends of the different roads, and tbev:
patrolled outwards; so that the party coming in snit
the party going oat met niitlrway ; they were eacirtit
the extremity of the road at the same time: the coun-
try party then returned home, awl the London party,
after communicating aids the horse patrol, returned
to London, by which they cro.sed each other twice on s
the road, and the whole length if the road was toles-
ably well protected. In consequence of there haring .
been a great number of street robberies committed itt
London, it was thought neces.ary by his Majesty's then.'
Secretary of State, Loral Siduroutli, that the whole of tilt'
foot patrol should he withdrawn from the coun•ry duty
meal employed in the streets of Londe's; a c.rtain ntintLer
of men were then added to the dismounted horse petrel.;
and they took op the spate duet was formerly occupied by :.
the street foot patrol out of London; the still is mitt;
nned ; so that now the horse patrol rind the dismonntill
horse patrol do the whole of the country duty, and the
Bow-street foot patrol arc confined to the streets of. the
metropolis, which has been divided into sixteen districts.
' and a conductor and four men ,nightly patrol each of
these districts: the conductors attend weekly at Bows
icreet, and deliver in a report of their weekly duty, certi-
fying the attend ince of the men, and noting' its parti-
cular occurrence that has taken place. Thret ef t4I e
parties also at•ernt weekly to be inspected, and their az.
pointutenta examined ; and if every thing is not as It
ought to be, the necessary repairs or alterations it. die
reeled to I c done. . .
What has been the circa of the new power granted by
the last year's Act; have a greater number of reputed
thieves been brought before the police ?s-No ;I* think
not.
The new powerhas not had any considerable effect?—l
think not.
Has it rot driven away the reputed thieves altogethee=
That is another question; I think rot; but the of ices
do not consider, nor do I consider, they have any power
to take a man up because they know him to be a thief ;
there must be something about that mm's 'conduct at the.
moment to indicate all intention to commit a theft. An.
officer has not a right to say, I know you are an old
thief, come with me before a msgiserate: there must be
some circumstance from which the officer draws au
inference that the man is about to commit u felony. , •
Do you not consider the improvement in the mariner of-
lighting the metropolis one of the causes that the lum-
ber of street robberies has diminished?-No; 1 shoulat
think that has very little effect upon it.
If the lights wer' brought nearer to those of day, would
not that prevent offences ? The smaller 'mustier of-offences
in the day-time does not merely arise from the difference
of light and dark in the day-time: there are more per•ons
moving about. and they are mostly a different description
of persons from those those who occasion trouble,at night,
who are otherwise engaged in the day.
Has it -come tinder your notice, whether the regoile•isn
in the Act of last Session with respect to coffee shops,
has been of service to the police ?—Uf very great service,
though there are many coffee shops now, they are not
kept open- to the late hour they were formerly, nor do
they harbour thieves as they used. I think if the penal-
ty the Acts give was less, and the appeal to the sessions •
/taken away, it would be very beneficial, for now they
appeal to the sessions, and by the time the sessions c nnn s
round, the witnesses are out of the'way or neglect to at=
, tend, and the prosecution fails.
Have there not in consequence of the Act which gives
von power over coffee shops, other shops opened fur the
same purposes, only nominally employed in differenttradess
such as grocers and butchers ?—No, I am net aware of
that ; there are other houses, but they do not (Ivry itstro
that extent ; there are many cook-shopssor eating-house.,
where the hot victuals will be smoking hot at twelve
o'clock at night, and the oyster shops.
Are there not oyster shops in which there is the same
•leseription of company assernbledas formerly assembled
in coilce shops?—No, not nearly so bad ; a man is es-
peed when lie goes into the back parlour of those oys-
ter shops to spend itinre than would suffice at a coffee
hop; it is not the very lowest class of thieves who fres
ilient the oyster ahups.
It is the upper class of thieves, perhaps ?—Very likely ;
they are open to every petson.
Are they kept open to a very Me boar?—Not to a very
late hour; the theatres are a great inducement to keep
them open till one o'clock perhaps.
Hare you any reason to suppose they have inere t 0,.,!.
because the Penalty applies to the term coffee shop ?-1
do not think so. •

POLICE OF THE METILOPOLIB:

(PARLIAMENTARY DOCUMENT.)
In the course of the last Session of Parliament, a ComMit-
tee of the House of Comnions was appointed to inquire
into the state of the Police of the Metr..polis, and to re-
port the same, with their observations thereupon ; and
towards the latter end of such Session (June 17) they
made their Report. but unaccompanied by the evidence,
in order that a Bill might he introduced pursuant to the
'veconemendations of meth Committee. A Bill was intro-
theived, but it only partially embraced the objects of the
11140e1fanatevidence, which they classed under the follow-
Ping heady:
rhe Miff of the City of London.
2. The nightly watch mid the Poll•e of the City of
Westminster, end of the several parishes which consti-
flute the remainder of the Metropolis within the bills of
mortality.
3. The police establishment at Bow•street, and (tinder
the immediate superintence of tic Chief Magistrate at
that 'dice) the foot patrol, and the horse patrol mounted
and dismounted.
4. The police establishments at Marlborough-street,
Hatton-reardeu, Worship-street. W hitechapel, High-street,
Marv-laonae, Queen-square, Union-hall. Thames Police.
That evidence is now printed. Mr. Peel, the Home
Secretary, was the Chairman of the Committee. The
following are extracts:—
Sir RICHARD HUME examined.
You are head Magistrate of the police-office, Bow-
street ?—I am.
State the establishment of officers at Bow-street?—
We have three clerks, eight principal officers, as they are
called ; and a hundred foot patrol, under seventeen com-
manders.
You have eight constables attached to your district?—
Yea.
Two of those are in attendance upon his Majesty ?
Two of those are in pretty constant attendance upon his
Majesty.
State generally the occupation of the other six ?—The
other six are in general attending the office, but are most
frequently emplo)ed in the country, bring sent for in
ewes of crime, where the persons think they would be
more effective than the constables of the district ; they
take their rotation of attendance at the office when
in town.
What is the sort of business on which you think it de-
siable to despatch those officers into the coontry ?—For-
stery, as under Bask cases ; perhaps burglaries, that arc
attended with didicaley in finding out the perpetrators in
the local districts. •
State how the officer is rewarded?—Generally by the
person sending for him, indeed, always; they have only
235. a week as a sort of retaining fee from us, and if they
are taken from home, their actual exposes are paid by
the parties, and they generally have from half a coin's
to a guinea a day during the time they are from home,
which the parties sending for them pay.
In case of an atrocious crime, where the party con-
cerned is anxious to procure the detection of the offend-
er, and cannot afford to pay, do you refuse to despatch
an officer ?—No, I do not remember that I ever did so ;
nor do I remember any one ever having been refused ; 1
think, if it was very atrocious, and the per ins tenable to
pay, I should feel it my duty to seed a❑ ofticer,-and sub-
mit the case for the Secretaay of State for the time.
Have the police officers in general any allort•ance in
case they are wounded ; or in case they should lose their
lives in the service, is there any pension for their fami-
lies? —1 believe not; there was a man of the name of
Smithery, lost his life about two years ago in Cato Street,
a very handsome provision was mule by Government,
and a large subscription raised ; but that was a peculiar

case.
Do you think an arrangement to that effect would be
very advantageous in securing the gallant conduct of
officers?—Yes; 1 have often lamented that there was
not; if there was a prospect of a retired allowance, or
any thing for the widow, or any thing in the event of
being hurt, 1 think that would be a great stimulus to
their exertions.
Do you conceive the street robberies have diminished
in the metropolis ?—Very much.
To what do you attribute the decrease? Last year
Lord Sidmotith was making it a very general subject of
conversation with all of as ; he suggested the calling in
the out-parties, as 1 call them ; viz. the districts that are
now patrolled by the dismounted patrol ; they were
called in, and a sort of re-organization made of them ;
they are kept entirely to the metropolis; they do not go
off the stones; there are now no such thing as street rob-
beries, attended with the cruelties there acre twelve
months back.
• Has the number of robberies round the environs of
London decreased ? Yes, his Lordship's arrangement
occasioned an increase to the patrol, because those men
being taken from the environs, and placed upon the streets
of London, were obliged to be made up ; and they are
chiefly men that are candidates for the horse patrol ; they
are called by way of distinction dismounted horse
patrol.
What precaution is taken against robberies that are
committed in the greets by day ?-1 am afraid tutu little;
awl that is my reason for %visiting for a day patrol.
The observations you made in former questions alluded
to robberies committed in the streets by night ?-
1( es, certainly.
Do you think there hasbeen any decrease of street robbe-
ries committed by day ?—I think there las, though not in
enlarge a proportion as of the night ones; the party that
attends the playhouse at night,—(we think that an
easy duty,) an therefore we make them till up their
day by patrolling.
is it true that the inhabitants of one side of the Strand
have established a patrol to patrol the street by. day ? I t is
true they have entered into a subscription to give a man
Iris. or a guinea a week to walk up and down ;taut diapers
