SPECIAL NOTICE. FUGITIVE OFFENDERS. A recent case has come under the notice of the Editor, in which a person whose apprehension was sought in England, and who was described in the POLICE GAZETTE, gave himself up to the Colonial Police. The prosecutor declined to take any further action in the matter, but the case necessitated the dispatch of two telegrams, the cost of which had to be refunded by him. To avoid such expense, the Editor requests, that if there is reason to believe that a fugitive offender is likely to go to the Colonies, and the prosecutor is un- willing to incur any expense, with a view to obtain his surrender, a notification be made in the communi- cation sent to this Office to the effect that the offender is not to be arrested beyond the United Kingdom. The necessity for the adoption of such a course will be apparent from the fact that the POLICE GAZETTE is circulated in the Colonies. SPECIAL NOTICE. PERSONS IN CUSTODY. ONS.

LANOASHI RE. 93.— Liverpool ( City).— The attention of Police is again directed to the proceedings of TWO MEN, who forward to householders, by post, patterns of damasks, cambrics, linens, ifcc., with circulars, in which they represent themselves as agents for Marshall and Henderson, Cheapside, Bradford, and Bennett, Wil- liams, and Co., Russell- street, Leeds, and state that they have very large stocks to dispose of at low prices, in consequence of the depressed state of trade, disso- lution of partnership, & c., and that they will call in a few days with the goods. When they call they have usually none of the goods of which patterns were sent, and endeavour to sell a quantity of worthless articles. One of the men usually enters the house selected while the other remains outside with a pack, which they carry on foot.
