SPECIAL NOTICE. FUGITIVE OFF£ NDERS. APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT. A case has comc 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 t> y 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 tho prosecutor is unwilling to incur any expense with a view to obtain his surrender, a notification be made in the communication sent to this Ollice to the effect that the offender is not to be arrested beyond the United Kingdom. The necessity for the adoption of such a course twill be apparent from the fact that the POLICE GAZETTE is circulated in ( lie Colonies. METROPOLITAN POLICE DISTRICT. 1.— C. O.
