	Metropolitan Police History
		The state of crime in London prior to the formation of the Metropolitan Police and the unsafe nature of the streets can be seen by a leaflet of "Confessions of a condemned prisoner" (1687), and "An Authentic Narrative" of methods of robbery sent to Sir John Fielding in 1765.
		The Metropolitan Police licensed and controlled many aspects of London's street life from taxi cabs to messengers, boot fls, pedlars and other people who needed to show they were of good character.
		The Metropolitan and City Police orphanage was established at Strawberry Hill, and the charitable fund continues to support the children of dead or disabled police officers today.
