NOTE.— There are 177 Stations of the Metropolitan Police Force at which Notices can be posted. SPECIAL NOTICE. METROPOLITAN POLICE DISTRICT. Numerous complaints have been received by the Metropolitan Police for years past about the undermentioned persons, who, it is believed, are systematically defrauding the public. The follow- ing particulars give the modus operandi of the frauds in each case, but it must be clearly under- stood that no action can be taken by Police against the offenders unless process is first obtained by persons defrauded. The Assistant- Commissioner of Police, Criminal Investigation Department, will be prepared to assist any person who applies to him through the Local Police for that purpose. RALPH HUNT, MANOR HOUSE, 137, GROVE- LANE, CAMBERWELL, S. E., alias J. HAMILTON & CO., 135, TOOLEY- STREET, BOROUGH, S. E. ( C. O.— C. I. D. Correspondence, No. 8204,4.) This man's operations are mostly carried on by answering advertisements in the " Bazaar, Exchange and Mart," " Poultry," and other publications. He seldom remains long at any address, and usually leaves without paying any rent. He has been twice arrested on warrants for larceny and fraud and com- mitted for trial, but on each occasion acquitted. T. SMITH & CO., 79, ST. HELEN'S- GARDENS, NORTH KENSINGTON. ( C. O.— C. I. D. Correspondence, No. 77433.) This concern is carried on by a man named SMITH PAYNTER. He advertises extensively in both London and country newspapers, offering " Home Employment, whereby 12s. 6d. per week can be earned by either Sex." The nature of the work is to sell for 2s. each a nickel pen and pencil- case, with a spring top containing a rut ber or gelatine stamp of purchaser's name. This he charges Is. Id. ! for to his correspondents. It is a very common v article and practically worthless, and no doubt those who, by his tempting advertisements, are induced to send for the material to commence work with seldom trouble him again, and he realises a good profit on the first transaction. HERBERT VANE, THE MID- KENT POULTRY FARM, BECKENHAM; AND 9, CORPORA- TION- STREET, MANCHESTER. ( C. O.— C. I. D. Correspondence, No. 83540.) Complaints about this man have been received from all parts of the country from persons who are unable to obtain payment for goods supplied to him. His real name is JOHN HENRY NICHOLSON, and he is an American, styling himself an Aural Surgeon. He has been engaged in other very questionable concerns, viz.:—" The Chancery Claim Agency," 59, Newman- street, Oxford- street, W.; " The Union Drug Company," Imperial- mansions, Oxford- street, W., and at 64, Chancery- lane, W. C.; " The Newspaper Co- operative Association "; " The National Banking Company " ; " The Aurophone Company," and " Nicholson's Patent." DENNIS BUTLER, 5, ENMORE- ROAD, SOUTH NORWOOD; SOMETIMES STYLED " WOOD- RIDGE MANOR, ENMORE- PARK, SOUTH NORWOOD. ( C. O.— C. I. D. Correspondence, No. 69080.) This man deals extensively in practically worth- less cutlery, plate, & c.; advertises extensively in both London and provincial newspapers, and by means of misleading, lying, and highly- coloured advertisements, in various names and under numerous designations, obtains high prices for his almost worthless goods. He also resorts to the use of newspaper shops, & c., for the receipt of letters under various aliases. WILLIAM RAYMOND, 54, MUSARD- ROAD, HAMMERSMITH, W., T HE WEST LONDON AND GENERAL ADVERTISING AGENCY. ( C. O.— C. I. D. Correspondence, No. 82327.) This man's mode of swindling is as follows:— He agrees to supply newspapers and other periodicals for a certain period on terms below cost price. On receipt of the fee he sends the papers for a short time, and then nothing more is beard from him. Up to the present no person has initiated any criminal pro- ceedings against him. WILSON, JENNER & CO.. THE UNITED KINGDOM DEBT RECOVERY ASSOCIA- TION, 222 to 225, STRAND. ( C. O.— C. I. D. Correspondence, No. 57223.) This bogus business is still being carried on, and numerous complaints continue to reach the Metro- politan Police. See Case No. 1, POLICE GAZETTE of 13tb, 20th and 27th February, and 3rd and 10th April, 1891.
