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 re- mand, and such inquiries often result in identi- fying 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 com- plied 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 clear days, at least, should be allowed in cases of the kind, to complete the inquiries asked for. SPECIAL NOTICE. THE SPANISH SWINDLE. THE complaints which continue with unfailing regularity to reach New Scotland Yard give proof that the " Spanish Swindle " is still rife. This fraud was described in this column in the issue of 21st October, 1898. It has various phases, but what is common to all is a sum of money either buried in the ground or impounded somewhere on account of a debt, which, on being released, is to be divided between the swindler, or his " orphan daughter," and his dupe.
