TIM MURDER OP A POTICEYAN AT DAGENBAIL—The
government has, at length, i,uued instructions for the pro-
secution of Serjeant Par.ons and the other police-constables
belonging to the K division, for the grow perjury committed
by them, in their evidence hefore the coroner, et the inquest
on the body of their comrade Clarke, who, it will be remem-
bered, was found in a corn fi LI, must savegely murdered, on
the 28th of last June. For some time past the inhabitants
of Dagenham and the surrounding districts hose been far from
satisfied with the conduct of the authorities in allowing the
men to remain so long without Ming prosecuted, and
leaving the matter in doubt as to whether or not they
woald he indicted at all. All uncertsinty, however, on that
head is new removed, Mr. Moule, of the Treasury,
having received directions frost the government to prosecute,
and this day (Monday) the indictment will be laid before
the grand jury, at the assizes at Chelmsford. During the
week several parties connected with the government, and
also Scrjeant Kt ndatl, of the detective police force, hove been
actively engaged in g tting up the evidence on behalf of the
crown. Mr. Lewis, the coroner for Essex, who held the in-
quest on Clarke's body, and the various witnesses who were
examined by that functionary, have been subpcensed by the
governm nt to be in ►ttendance at the Assize-court. It is
generally understood that Stevens, who has ever since the
inquest been in the receipt of a weekly sum of 10e., will not
be included in the bill of indictment, but will be admitted
as a witness ou behalf of the prosecution.
