Information to Head Constable Embery, Tunbridge Wells, METROPOLITAN POLICE DISTRICT. 105.— The special attention of Police is called to the proceedings of a man calling himself A. DE L. BEL- MONTE, of No. 35, Great Percy- street, Percy Circus, London. His method is to advertiso for lady artistes to assist in executing large orders for Christmas, Easter, wedding, and menu cards, giving a number and the office of the newspaper containing the advertisement as the address to apply for particulars. Lady appli- cants in reply receive a circular, headed " Royal Art Studio, Great Percy- street," holding out that from 15s. to six guineas per dozen cards might be realised, and stating terms of employment as £\ lis. Gd., a charge intended to cover the usual copies, postage on, or in parcels, as well as instruction in Floral Illuminating. Upon work being executed and sent him under these terms, all efforts to obtain payment from Belmonte have been unsuccessful. There is no doubt that the " Royal Art Studio " is a sham. In the event of its being known to Police that any persons have been defrauded by Belmonte, it is requested that the particulars may be forwarded to J. Monro, Esq., Assistant Commissioner, with a view to proceedings being taken against Belmontej who is known to Metropolitan Police. 106.— The special attention of Police is directed to a young German, whose practice is to call at houses and obtain money by false representations. 1 - Description, short, slight ( figure, very dark, appa- rently short- sighted ; dress, dart brown clothes, round hat, carries a cane. Speaks little English ; eager, excit- able manner. States he is known to Herr Patter and Pro fessor Blackie ; has been employed in the Strauss Orchestra, and requires a loan for the purpose of proceeding to an engagement as violinist in Scotland. Also that his parents were burnt in the disaster at the Ring Theatre, Vienna. May be recognised by a habit of seizing repeatedly and kissing the hand of the person he is addressing, or from whom he may have obtained money. 107.— The attention of Police is called to an ad- vertisement which appears in various papers as fol- lows :— " Violin for sale, rich tone, labelled ' Antonius Straduarius, Cremona, 1690'; good bow, lock- up case ; 25s. The lot may be had on approval." The object of this advertisement is clearly to mis- lead unwary people into the belief that they may buy a particular violin as advertised, and that such violin has the name of " Straduarius " on it. The fact is that hundreds of these violins are manu- factured, and the label " Antonius Straduarius," < fcc., is affixed by the seller, who has appeared under the address of " Clara, 37A, Theobalds- road, W. C.," and recently " Mr. Bennett, Ramsbury House, Cardigan- road, St. Albans." It is doubtful whether a prosecution for fraud would succeed, but the advertisement is undoubtedly meant to deceive, and, as a matter of fact, deceives many.

Be trustful, be steadfast, whatever betide thee, Only one thing do thou ask of the Lord, Grace to go forward wherever He guide thee, Simply believing the truth of His Word.
