[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.}
LONDON, Oct., 8th. The heads of the London Metro- politan police are taking very seriously the criticisms that have been passed on the Force on ac- count of a number of charges that have been dismissed in the Courts where the only evidence for the prosecuting was that of a polier man. Since two recent cases ren- cerning men of standłog were taken to the Sessions on appeal and the convictions were quashed the Stipendiary Magistrates ecem be more than ordinarily careful to insist on carroiseration of police! evidence, Consequently, where ther only witness for the proscention is 2 police officer the tendency, a pears to be to give the accused the benefit of the doubt.

But something more than this will have to be done to restore con fidence. Not that there is wide- sprend belief that there has been any extensive miscarriage justice. The London police are popular, and are rightly regarded as one of the finest bodies of public servants in the world. But, the feeling persists that police evidence is not prepared as carefully as it! ought to be, and that unconscious- | ly, perhaps, a certain proportion of police officers have got into an automatic habit
preparing charges without paying full atten- tion to the defects that can be dis covered under cross-examination. This refers more particularly alleged offences against public be haviour which are apt to be met with occasionally in the streets of the West End of London. I under- stand that when Parliament meets the whole question will be raised in the House of Commons,
