SPECIAL NOTICE. PRISONERS UNDER REMAND. ^° The aid of the Metropolitan Police is frequently sought by other Police Forces to make inquiries respecting the antecedents of prisoners under remand, and such inquiries often result in identifying accused persons as being old offenders. But, in many cases, the time allowed for such inquiries is so brief that effect cannot be given to the request for information, or that it can be complied with only in a perfunctory manner, and at great inconvenience. The Editor would therefore suggest, in the interest of the Provincial Police Forces, that four dear days, at least, should be allowed in cases of the kind, to complete the inquiries asked for. SPECIAL NOTICE. THE SPANISH SWINDLE. The following letter appeared in " The Times and other London newspapers on the 15th ult. It is now inserted here, as the criminals who carry on this fraud are still actively at work :— Sir,— The Commissioner of Police has warned the public from time to time, through your columns, against " the Spanish Swindle," as it is called. But, judging by the number of complaints and inquiries now reaching this Department from various parts of the United Kingdom, it would seem that the mis creants who live by this fraud are unusually active at present, and that their victims in this country are as numerous as ever. The newspapers, therefore, and especially the Provincial papers, would render a timely service by once again calling public attention to the subject. There is generally a prisoner immured in a Spanish gaol, sometimes an orphan daughter to be provided for, but always a large amount of money or treasure, either buried somewhere in this country, or impounded somewhere in Spain ; the bait by which the authors of the swindle attract their dupes is the offer of half of this treasure in return for some help or service pleaded for. When their feelings of cupidity and pity have been thoroughly excited a most plausible appeal is made for money. And then, after an in- terval, the victims write to the police. This has been going on for some twenty years at least, and how much longer I cannot say. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, R. ANDERSON. New Scotland Yard, S. W., Sept. 14. APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT.
