STOCKBRIDGE.

Vauban went a mile and a quarter this morning, and
Distin about a mile, but Uncas only trotted and cantered,
as did Red Riband, Caucasus, and Fairfield. The Duke
galloped a mile and a half at a nice steady pace, and Black
Prince, Lecturer, and Julia went a similar distance. On
another portion of the downs Alfred Day had eleven work-
ing, Lochaber and Stolen Kisses being again amongst
them. The Duke of Hamilton's steeplechasers were at
strong exercise.

The Police Perjury Case.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Srn,—As this case is about to enter upon a now phase,
I beg that you will kindly allow me to lay before the pub-
lic, through your columns, a brief explanation in respect
to it.

After the serious insinuations cast upon my character
by the defenders of the police, it may not be improper to
state that I have been known as a ratepayer in the parish
in which I now reside for about 20 years, and that I can
refer with pride and satisfactio❑ to the antecedents of my
family in the same neighbourhood for very nearly a cen-
tury. As to my connection with this case, it simply arose
from the fact that one of the two lads accused of attempt-
ing burglary was in my employ, and I had known him for
a considerable time and had confidence in his honesty.
When I hoard of the char B-0 against him I took a good deal
of trouble to ascertain the grounds for it, and the more I
inquired the more satisfied I became that, whatever his
other errors or follies might have been, he was perfectly
guiltless of this offence. There appeared to be but ono
course open to me then, and that was to defend and pro-
tect him. For three months I have laboured in this mat-
ter with the following results—the two lads have been
acquitted; one of their false accusers has been convicted of
perjury, after three days' patient investigation ; the other
policeman was acquitted, owing to the sudden and unex-
pected production of evidence which at the subsequent
trial was held to be worthless.
In carrying this case to its present stage I have ren-
dered myself liable for legal expenses to the extent of
£250. Towards this the county has contributed £lO, and
a few friends £l5 ; leaving me still responsible for a ba-
lance amounting to £165. Those who approve what I
have done will, perhaps, deem it a duty to contribute
towards meeting the deficiency.—Your obedient servant.,

JOHN IVORY.
