It dealt with the position of Receiver of the Metropolitan Police, repealing parts of Section 25 of the Metropolitan Police Act 1829 (Section 7) and making the office a corporation sole (Section 1). All property vested in previous holders of the role were vested in the current Receiver (Section 2). The Act continued payments into the official Receiver's account at the Bank of England by the Overseers and others (Section 8), though it also removed the Receiver's name from that account (Section 4) and for the Overseers to continue paying into . The Act also removed his personal liability for any debts he incurred in his official capacity (Section 3) and empowered him to dispose of, buy and lease property in the pursuance of his office (Section 5) and to set up allowances for widows and children of men killed in the line of duty (Section 6).
