§ (3.) £5,000, Criminal Prosecutions.

§ MR. FAWCETTcomplained that so large a sum should be taken out of the Imperial Exchequer to pay for the police of the counties and boroughs of England and Wales that ought to have been supported out of the local rates.
MR. ASSHETON CROSSsaid, that mayors and magistrates of boroughs and counties increased the number of police within their respective districts without his knowledge, and, in point of fact, he really had no control in the matter. Under these circumstances, he purposed introducing a Bill to prevent the Treasury being called upon in any year for larger grants than were provided for in the original estimates sent in by the local authorities.
