POLICEMEN AND PERJURY. Sir, A morning
Met efrisserliesonsains a leading ankle, devoted to the
ere eters Mr. liner; brought before Lambeth polieseoutt,
an Piling its SIM ult., charged with en result upon police
assable Weiler, IS P. This charge was proved to be
gelarsal the policeman, of course, to be guilty of per-
f whisk the Chronicle strongly recommends
ller" te Ile consideration of the polies authorities, and
romerks that " Weller's" chat are payead of great facilities
he redwing themselves with impunity. Now, air, I wish
he err* it it also worthy tenelderation that, beyond all
deem of meaty policemen an, as to their moral and tell-
gifts welfare, the most neglected ; for if we look at the
military, the convict, or the pauper, we sr special prosier's
made for aisle respective moral and religious interests; not
so however for the police. While good cairns are eajoyina
their Sabbath da religious privileges at church or etta.sel,
the policeman is In the street, as on other days, doing duty— '
this of course is rmseeesery. It is also true that their duties
are daily compelling them to come In rater with vier
in its name atrocious forms, while the are ever
espied to the temptation of perjury and of bribery, all
tending to weaken, and eventually destroy, moral as well r
religious feeling. At the same time, nit class in the com-
munity should prove themselves more trustworthy than
policemen as their every day testimony, both in the Polies
and Assisi Court, goes to decide the character and destiny
01 numbers of fellow-citixenx If perjury be common among
them, which is to be feared it is, then, indeed, the matter is
one of fearful importance ; for who, suppose he give offence
to one of those gentlemen, is safe 7 The London City Mn.
slot have, however, generously appointed two of their agents
--one to the Metropolitan force and the other to the City.
With the former I am personally acquainted, and I have
heard the latter spoken well of by some of the dithers. Still
it is evident their usefulness will be extremely limited with
out the co-operation or support of police authorities. While
I agree with your contemporary in recommending meth
eases se Weller to the authorities, it is not only tuseeesary
that punishment should be inflicted, but also that some spe-
cial provision be made for inoulcatinr and extending those
moral and religious principles which shall improve the man
and become s mote effectual preventive to pirthry than any
oysters of punishment, however ingeniously devised or se.

A CONPINSION.—Yeeterday much ammemont Whit
canoed In the Westminster County Court by the candid con
fesaion of a lawyer's clerk that he had told a lie. It ap-
peared that when the summons was left at the oars of the
defendant, in John-street, Adelphi, the clerk told the °Roar
that his master was in Perim, and had been there for six
weeks. The plaintiff swore positively that on the morning
the $lllllllOlll was served be saw the defendant go into his
oast.—The Judge (to the clerk): Theo you told the officer
who served the swarm an %wrath, when you told him
your master was is Pada ? Clerk (with great sang froid) :
Yee, h nst as swami thing to tell an untruth in an at-
torney% ellek—lidge: Then your master will hare to pay
the wary sus the ILmtileatary.

BT. Clogs.—Sir,—Allow me to correct two errors
which I have observed in your remarks relating to the Berl
of Guilford. Yon state that the Berl of Osilford resigned
the prthand stall in Winchester Cathedral when he sue-
osoled to the earldom, and that this was the only grateful

its intensity by reflecting that it wassallicket to indent the
Rev. the Berl of Guilford to 'atrial* • valuable pies@ of

mastership of St. Cross, at the next vacancy, will be in the
