ANDERSON, Editor. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. SPECIAL NOTICE. BEGINNING with the New Year, the POLICE GAZETTE will, it is hoped, prove more interesting and useful to the Police Forces of the Kingdom, even than in the past. It is intended to use these columns more systematically than before for communicatin"- " " O information respecting business concerns of a fraudulent or doubtful character, such as provoke complaints on the part of the public, and thus give rise to correspondence with New Scotland Yard. And an alphabetical list of these notices will be inserted weekly, referring to the number of the GAZETTE in which they appeared, so that on receiving a complaint of unsatisfactory dealings with any London Firm, it may be ascertained at a glance whether that particular business has been " Gazetted." It is hoped, however, that all such notices will be treated as strictly confidential. In some recent instances they have been communicated to applicants ; and this, of course, is a violation of the official courtesy usual between Police Forces. After this date no trade advertisements will appear in tne GAZETTE. But advertisements of a kind germane to Police duties or enquiries, such, ex gr, as those relating to parsons missing, property lost, & c., if received from a Police Force, will still appear on the same terms as heretofore. A new contract gives promise of better printing than hitherto ; and in future the woodcuts of criminals whose arrest is sought will be grouped upon the middle sheet, for which paper of a superior quality will be supplied.
