APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT. SPECIAL NOTICE. THE amount of stolen property at pre- sent " circulated " by the Metropolitan Police lias become so inordinately large us 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 lias 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 propeity lost and persons missing.
