SPECIAL NOTICE. APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT. FUGITIVE OFFENDERS. A 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.

FOR OUSEWIVES. AN EXCELLENT CHRISTMAS PLUM PUD- DING— Take three- quarters of a pound of flour, two large tea- spoonfuls of Borwick's Gold Medal Baking Powder, two ounces of bread crumbs, one and a- half pounds of suet, two pounds of raisins, one pound of currants, ten ounces of sugar, two ounces of almonds, one pound of mixed candied peel; salt and spice to taste; mix in- gredients well together, and add six eggs well beaten, and three quarters of a pint of milk; divide in two and boil eight hours. TO MAKE A RICH PLUM CAKE— Take half a pound of butter and half a pound of white sifted sugar; beat these with the hand well together to a cream, add four eggs, one at a time, and well beat each one with the butter and sugar; lightly mix in one pound of flour previously mixed with one teaspoonful of Borwick's Gold Medal Baking Powder, then lightly mix with the whole halfa pound of sultanas; bake at once, thoroughly, in a qnick oven. TO MAKE A GOOD PLAIN CAKE- Mix well together one pound of flour, two teaspoonfuls of Borwick's Gold Medal Baking Powder, a little salt and spice, and a quarter of a pound of sugar; rub in a quarter of a pound of butter, add six ounces of sultanas, two ounces of currants, and one ounce of can- died peel; moisten the whole with two eggs and half a teacupful of milk previously beaten together; bake in a quick oven very thoroughly. SCOTCH SCONES.— Take one pound of flour, add a full teaspoonful of Borwick's Gold Medal Baking Powder and a little salt, mix thoroughly while dry; rub in two ounces of butter, beat up one egg well in a quarter of a pint of milk or water, then thoroughly and quickly mix together; bake immediately on a girdle or in a quick oven. This will make eight delicious scones. TEA CAKES-— Use the recipe as for scones, but add a few currants, sultanas, or caraways, if preferred. SHORT BREAD.— Mix well together one pound and a quarter of flour, a large teaspoonful of Borwick's Gold Medal Bak- ing Powder, and halfa pound of white sifted sugar; rub in half a pound of butter, mix the whole with three eggs, previously well beaten, and a little essence of lemon. Make four cakes out of five ounces of dough, mould into a round form, then roll them out into an oval shape, pinch them round the edges, put a piece of candied lemon peel at the top, and bake slowly. RICE BISCUITS-— Take half a pound of sugar, half a pound of best ground rice, half a pound of butter, half a pound of flour, and half a teaspoonful of Borwick's Gold Medal Baking Powder; mix the whole into a paste with two eggs. TO MAKE BREAD.— To every pound of flour add a large heaped- up teaspoonful of Borwick's Gold Medal Bakin"- Powder with a little salt, and thoroughly mix while in a dry state; then pour on gradually about half a pint of cold water, or milk and water, mixing quickly but thoroughly into a dough of the usual consistence, taking care not to knead it more than is neces- sary to mix it perfectly ; make it into small loaves, which must be immediately put into a quick oven. r* PUFF PASTE.— Mix one pound of flour with a tea- spoonfui of Borwick's Gold Medal Baking Powder, then cut half a pound of butter into slices, roll it in thin sheets on some of your flour, wet up the rest with about a quarter of a pint of water, see that it is about as stiff as your butter, roll it to a thin sheet, cover it with your sheets of butter, double it in a three double ; do the same five times. It is then fit for use, or it may stand an hour covered over to keep the air from it. PANCAKES OR BATTER PUDDING.— Take halfa pound of flour, two teaspoonfuls of Borwick's Gold Medal Baking Powder, a little"* salt; mix well in a dry state, and add one egg and three- quarters of a pint of milk. NORFOLK DUMPLINGS.— Prepare the dough as for bread, put it into a saucepan of boiling water immediately, and boil twenty minutes without taking the lid off. Her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands has granted the proprietor of Borwick's Gold Medal Baking Powder the title of Purveyor to Her Majesty's Court, with permission to bear the Royal Arms. The Queen's private baker at Buckingham Palace, in recom- mending Borwick's Baking Powder, wrote as follows:—" After giving your Baking Powder a fair trial, I beg to inform you that I find it a most excellent and useful invention, and I should say especially so in those parts of the country where yeast is difficult to obtain." It also makes delicious cakes and pastry. If Borwick's Baking Powder is not the best in the world, why has it gained five gold medals, whilst no other baking powder has gained one ? This is not a riddle, but a question which any house- wife will answer as follows, " Because it makes the best of bread, the lightest of pastry, the crispest of biscuits, and most tempting cakes and puddings, and is, in fact, a boon and a blessing to women.
