The pay of the force alone, In cluding chief constables, superinten dents, inypcetors, sei counts and con stables, was 1,21S.714. The total number of criminal offenses reported to the metropolitan police last year was 18,424, as compared with 1S, 538 In 1890, 20,024 ill 1S9." and 20,970 in 1894. As regards felonies relating to property, the proportion per thousand of the population was 2.524 the lowet on record. In 1807 the proportion was 6.170. There were eighteen casee of murder: two of the accused were tried and acquitted and live others were found to be Insane. In three cases tno trials resulted In conviction and death sentences, while four easea remain tn be accounted for. One of these, the case of Margaret Marshall, found dead In her own house at Bethnal Green, on September 16, hns never been accept ed u a crime by the metropolitan po lice; all the circumstances pointed to the conclusion that death was caused by a fall due to accident nnd not to violence. The murderer of Florence Saunders Is well known to the police, but he absconded before his crime was discovered, and he Is believed to be still out of the country. In the case o' Rllzabeth Camp, found murdered In a London und Southwestern railway cur llage at Waterloo, on February 11. the body was removed from the railway station to St. Thomas' Hospital, and thence, after a medical Inspection, it was sent to tlie mortuary, the pollen remaining in Ignorance that any crime had been committed. During the time that thus claused the murderer was drinking In a certain public house, but the oppoitunlty of taking him red handed was lost, nnd evidence was af terward lacking to Justify an arrest. The last ense to be accounted for Is that of h child of six, found xtrangled In a ll"lil at I'pton on SeDteniber 15, and this ti.'j'der unfortunately remains In the fullest sense an "undiscovered clime." During the year 10,076 carriages were licensed, 7,925 being two-wheeled. 3.5S3 four-wheeled. .1,190 omnibuses nnd 1.378 tramway cars. The new carlrages num bered 1,421. There were 28.505 licensed drivers and conductors. The practice of conveying large packages of lug gage on the roofp of hansom cabs, ho us to prevent the driver from having a proper view of the roadway and com plete control over the horse, has re sulted in many seilous (and in moio than one case fata) accidents' IV has therefore been found necessary spec ially to caution all such drivers that serious notice will be taken of a per sistence In this dangerous practice. At the lost property office 39,101 artic les were received during 1897. These In cluded 2,681 bags. 3,038 purses, 17.434 umbrellas and 181 watches. The miscel laneous articles. 8,697 In number. In cluded an artificial leg, a woden bed rest, birds In cages, dogs, a gas Htove, musical Instruments (Including u port able street harmonium) and a sewing machine. No fewer than 19.392 articles were restored to the losers. The awarcH paid to drivers and conductors amount ed to 2.803, including three fiurns of 20, one of 15, one of14, four of X, two of 7, three of 6 and ten of 5. OREEN RIDGE. E. M.
