DECREASE OF DRUNKENNESS AS COMPARED WITH THE POPULATION IN LONDON AND LIVERPOOL. The more the facts are studied in detail, the more is this inference confirmed. Not only the county but also the borough constabulary are and have been less numerous in proportion to the population than the police of the metropolis. In the metropolis, the persons appre- 11 hended as drunk and disorderly in 1873 were equal to one in every 102 of its population, but the persons so apprehended throughout the whole of ...England and Wales were equal to no more than one in 124. The difference is very considerable, and might at first suggest the in- ference that drunkenness is most prevalent and increases most rapidly in the largest towns. But our own observation and the testimony of our fathers assure us that drunken and disorderly persons are far less commonly seen in the streets than in former times, and that, ajjart from comparison, they are but rarely seen at all. The most remarkable fact, however, is that the number of apprehensions for drunkenness and disorderly conduct by the metropolitan police was hardly greater in 1873 than in 1850, and considerably less than in 1831, 1832, or 1833.
