SPECIAL NOTICE. The amount of stolen property at pre- sent " circulated " by the Metropolitan Police has become so inordinately large as to prejudice or destroy the practical value of the records, and it has been found necessary to limit it very consider- ably. It has been decided, therefore, to discontinue the " circulation" in Infor- mations and Pawnbrokers' Lists of all property stolen in the provinces, unless where there are grounds for believing that the property has found its way to the Metropolis. Chief Constables are re- quested accordingly, when forwarding lists of stolen property to Scotland Yard, to send with them a letter to that effect. And if bills or circulars are received in future, unaccompanied by such a letter, it will be assumed that the " circulation" of the particulars they contain is not desired. The same course will be followed with respect to property lost and persons missing. SPECIAL NOTICE. METROPOLITAN POLICE DISTRICT. ! Letters relating to criminal business, addressed by other Police Forces to Scotland Yard, are very frequently de- layed, owing to the envelopes containing them being directed incorrectly or inade- quately. In such cases prompt attention cannot be assured unless the letters are addressed, " The Assistant Commissioner of Police, Criminal Investigation Depart- ment, New Scotland Yard, London, S. W."
