IDENTIFICATION OF PRISONERS. The Editor desires to call attention to the fact that all photographs of prisoners in custody, transmitted to the Director of Criminal Investigations, for purposes of identification are seen by the police or warders who visit all prisoners under remand, in the Metropolitan Police District three times a week. This system, esta- blished in 1879, has been the means of ascertaining the previous convictions of 7000 prisoners, and aftords great facilities to Chief Officers of Police, and the Governors of Her Majesty's Prisons. Such photographs are also compared with the albums in the Convict Office con- taming the portraits of all Convicts liberated in the Kingdom, which are further open to the personal examination of any police officer or warder. IDENTIFICATION OF BODIES. UNCLAIMED The attention of the Editor has been directed to the want of any system existing for the publication of descriptions of dead bodies coming into the hands of Police, and which are buried without having been iden- tified. It having been suggested that the particulars should be inserted in the POLICE GAZETTE, the Editor will be glad to print any information which it may be considered desirable to publish.

" I am the Lord that healeth thee." No case is too hard for the Great Physician. " Jesus went about healing all manner of sickness, and all manner of disease." Great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all." " All manner of sin shall be forgiven unto men."— Matt. iv. 23, xii. 15, 31. He is willing and ready to cure many, among them you— you yourself— of— what shall we say ? Only put your case into His hands, and trust it to Him, Him only. Amongst those cured by Him we find all classes, all characters— kings, beggars, Magdalenes, blasphemers, Pharisees, thieves, ifcc. This Great Physician requires no fee—" Come, with- out money and without price." " Ye shall be redeemed without money."— Isa. lv. 1, lii. 3. His cures were complete—'' As many as touched were made perfectly whole." " He will not allow any other Physician to be called in. He will act alone or not at all."— Acts iv. 12. " Neither will He allow any quack medicines of our own." Things good in themselves, evidences, perhaps, of health when obtained ( morality, almsgiving, church- going), cannot cure. " By grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves : it is the GIFT OF GOD, not of works, lest any man should toast."— Epli. ii. 8, 9.
