Mr. Travers Humphreys, at the Old Bailey, thus opened the case against Alfred Green, 44 a Sergeant. of the Metropolitan Police, who was charged with perjury

The prosecution was instituted by the Director of Public Pro- secutions (Sir Archibald Bodkin), who was present in court.

Mr. Humphreys said that the case was important to the sergeant because conviction must inevitably result in dismissal from the Force. |The alleged perjury was committed in a case in which Green and Police-constable Laven were the only two witnesses for the pro. secution. Laven was awaiting trial on a similar charge, as the law did not allow two people being charged together with perjury....

Wheeldon satisfied the, magist- rate that he was in his ship, and the case was dismissed with 10- guineas costs against the police.

Counsel suggested that Sergeant Green, having missed Wheeldon for the three days, and thinking that this might be regarded as dis- creditable to him, reported that Wheeldon had been doing on those days what he had bean.doing on other days.
