To the EDITOR of TUE ST,ITESM.IN.

SIR—I should be very glad to know who is to
pay the regiment of police officers and patrolc,
that have beet. nightly employed in keeping the
peace at Covent-garden Theatre. It is a fact that
the Managers have not yet advanced • farthing far
that purpose; and it is reported that the Dow.
street Treasury is to be resorted to—if so, the
Public will, after all, have to pay the piper.

Sta—As very few of the Bow-street officers or
patrols have been regularly appointed constables
by a Leet Jury, it may be advisable for those
persons charged with a breach of the peace at the
Theatre to ascertain, in the first place, whether
these men were ever sworn in as special constables;
and likewise, what will be very material, bow far
the authority of mere special constables extends.
Their power has, I believe, "been never properly
defined, by any writer on legal subjects.

Ste—Last night, as 1 was eiptering the centre
Pit door of Covent.Gurden Theatre, 1 saw Pro-
fessor Brandon in conversation nith a short man
of genteel appearance, and distinctly heard the
Professor utter these words, " Do you only point
kin nut, and I will swear to him." If called
upon to substantiate this assertion, you will please
to address me as below—and I am ready to come
forward at any time fur that purpose—as also is
a young Gentleman who was present.
