The Metropolitan Police Act 1857 (20 & 21 Vict. c. 64) was one of the Metropolitan Police Acts, granted royal assent on 25 August 1857.[1] It enabled the Metropolitan Police's Receiver to borrow on the Police Rates to raise a sum of £60,000 to spend on purpose-built police stations to replace the lock-ups it had inherited from the parish constable system.[1] It also authorised him to top up the Police Superannuation Fund (an early form of police pension fund) from other Met funds if necessary.[1]
