The following is a copy of the order which governs the circulation, by the Metropolitan Police, of adver- tisements, or reward bills, for the discovery of property or the detection of crime. The Editor inserts it, in hope of preventing delays which sometimes occur in publishing such notices, on account of their not being in accordance with the regulations in force in the Metropolis :— 1. Printed hand- bills, or other advertisements, offering a reward for the discovery of property or the detection of crime, whether printed and issued by the Metropolitan Police, or distributed and exhibited, with the sanction of the Commissioners, on the application of private persons, or of the Police of any County or Borough, must be clearly expressed in relation to the following points— ( a) The amount of the reward. ( b) The conditions on which it is payable. ( c) The name and address of the person by whom it will be paid. ( d) That the name and address of the printer appear thereon. ( 32 and 83 Vic., cap. 24, sec. 2.) 2. No expression must be used in such an adver- tisement, in relation to property stolen, or criminally taken or disposed of, holding out any expectation that the reward will be paid on its return without the oflender being brought to trial, or without enquiry. Attention is specially directed to clause ( d), par. 1, as Police Notices are constantly being received by the Metropolitan Police without the printer's name and address, and they are consequently not distributed. NOTE. There are 181 Stations of the Metropolitan Police Force at which Notices can be posted. APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT.
