THE METROPOLITAN POLICE.

Sin—In the reports of the arrest of Simon Bernard, it is stated that the English constable was accompanied by a member of the Police, bearing the suspicious name of Tinnaci or Tinacci. Who is this man ? Is he an Eng- lishman ? If not, have we foreigners in our Police force ? Are there, for instance, any French detectives borne on the strength of the Metropolitan divisions ?

Cannot some Member of the House of Commons more for a return that

would show whether our Police includes French spies ? G. H.
