SPECIAL NOTICE. 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. THEOBALD AND CO., of 19, Farringdon Street, London, vendors of mechanical toys, etc., advertise very freely in provincial newspapers. They appear to do a legitimate business, but the number and fre- quency of the letters received from a'l parts of the country, complaining of the non- delivery of goods paid for, or of the inferior quality of the articles supplied, indicate either great carelessness or actual dishonesty in their dealings. The Metropolitan Police, however, are unable to assist such complain- ants unless someone succeeds in obtaining a warrant against the firm. APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT.
