/I SF.PTEIf Ft 2. REPORT ON TILE POLICE. The Report of the Committee of the House of Com pions up' u the Pollee of the Metropolis, has been printed. Among the praninent points to which the Coramittee have direezed their attention, are the effect of rewards for VAC cow:le:dm of °..:n lers—the existence of li:•enced pabiie houses. alth.mgh possessing a bud replite--the conluct of watchmen—and the imnwal practices con ne.eted with night-houses, gin-shops, &e. The evidence rclaing to these subjects contains much curious and in teresting matter. The following is the substance of the depositions given before the Con nittee, on the subject of what arc email) ntly called Tyburn Tickets:—'sir N. Conant stated, that persons apprehending a burglar, horse-stealer, or shoplifter, are entitled, by Act of Parlia ment (10th and 11th of William), to an exemption fco:n parochial duties, in the parish where the offence is com mitted, The certificate so received is once :usignable, and is commonly assigned to SUllle inhabitant of the place to whom only it is valuable. In case of burglary, this ticket is super... Wed to the 401. reward. The saleable val , m, he imagined, was about 201. When there is any dispute, the produce of the sale of it is apportioned by *lie Judge —Townsend, the officer, stated, that he had sold these tickets so low as 121. In such a parish as Hano ver-square, the people were of so much consequence that they would serve themselves. They were highest in Covent-garden, where they were worth 251. each, as the constable of the parish was obliged to sit up, he believed, one night out of three.—Townsend, the officer, thought if Judges and Magistrates lent a discretionary power to reward the appreltendera of offenders according to their exertions, it would be preferable to the law of rewards now in existence.
