The Police Perjury Case.

JUDGES'CHAUBERS-COITRT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
TIIE QUEEN V. BARRY AND II tY2S.

This was an action_con ontwoerpoafrswolnios,nißwarxraineld

and convicted of perjury at the last sessions of the Central
Criminal Court, arising out of evidence given by hint and
licosilta(ltfh ofe

the prisoner Barry at the trial of two lads, namad Dye and
Pearce, who were tried and acquitted for an attempted bur-
glary, at the Central Criminal Court), for a writ of certio-
rari to remove an indictment found against them, and
which charged them with conspiring together by commit-
ting perjury to procure the conviction of Dye and Pearce.
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine appeared to support the applica-
tion, instructed by Messrs: Ellis and Ellis, solicitors to the
commissioners of police ; and Mr. SleighXinstructed by Mr.
Edward Lewis, of Groat Marlborough-street) appeared for
the prosecution.

The application was founded upon an affidavit which set
forth that the prisoners Barry and Hayes had each boon tried
for perjury upon substantially the same facts, and whereas
one was acquitted the other was convicted of the charge, and
further that tho Recordcr,who presided at each of such trials,
had intimated his opinion that the indictment for conspiracy
might very properly be removed into the Court of Queen's
Bench and tried by a special jury.
Mr. Sleigh said he was not instructed to oppose the appli-
cation. Of course the usual order requiring the defendants
to give security for costs would be made, and he should ask
that sufficient time should be allowed for inquiring into the
sufficiency of the proposed sureties.
. _

Mr. Sergeant Banautili() said the commissioners of police
wore instructing him, and he thought his learned friend
(Mr. Sleigh) could scarcely press that application as against
them.

Mr. Sleigh, referring to the affidavit made on behalf of
the defendants, remarked that in point of fact there was a
discrepancy between the two verdicts, inasmuch as on the
second trial further and material evidence was adduced for
the prosecution.

Mr. Justice Shoe made an order that the indictment bo
removed to the Court of Queen's Bench, the defendants to
find two sureties in £2OO each, and that 48 hours' notice be
given to the prosecution for inquiry este the substantiality
of the sureties.

The trial will come on in February next before the Lord
Chief Justice and a special jury.
