A proposed public pawn office would fund the watch and curb extortion, while critics warn against undermining city authority.
The House debated urban crime and public order in London with mentions of street rovers, mobs, and the need for police. A motion by Mr Tandy to address spawn-brokers' grievances passed without division, while a committee was tasked to draft a petition to Parliament. A separate petition sought government permission to permit Lottery Insurance.
