IDENTIFICATION OF PRISONERS. The Editor desires to call attention to the fact that all photographs of prisoners in custody, trans- mitted to the Convict Branch of the Metropoli- tan Police Office, 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 affords 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- taining the portraits of all Convicts liberated m 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 ot 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.

TINSLEY BROTHERS, 8, CATHERINE STREET, STRAND SIN PUT AWAY BY CHRIST. The terrible name of Sin ! How it used to haunt me in my early years ! I thought all my sins would be blazed out before the Great White Throne ; that every sin committed in childhood and in secret, and every secret thought and every evil desire, would be just blazed out before the assembled universe; that every- thing done in the dark would be brought to light. But, thanks be to God, the Gospel tells me my sins are all put away in Christ. Out of love to my soul He has taken all my sins and cast them behind His back. That is a safe place to have our sins cast away — behind God's back. That is one of His own illustra- tions. Out of love to my soul He has taken all my sins upon Him— not a part. He takes them ALL out of the way. " There is no condemnation to him that is in Christ Jesus." You may just pile up your sins till they rise up like a dark mountain, and then multiply them by ten thousand for those you cannot think of; and, after you have tried to enumerate all, just let me bring in one verse and immediately the whole of that mountain will melt away :—" The biood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanseth us from all sin."
