For some years past the Metropolitan Police have received complaints from all parts of the country about this Firm. Though they have not yet suc- ceeded in discovering who the man is who trades as above, or where he lives, the inquiries made give proof that the numerous complaints received are well founded, and that the business is thoroughly fraudulent. The Assistant Commissioner, Criminal Investigation Department, will be prepared to assist any one who has been defrauded and wishes to prosecute. Meanwhile, he wishes to give this warning to other Police Forces, as the man has agents in various provincial towns, and advertises in provincial newspapers.
