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 dear days, at least, should be allowed in cases of the kind, to complete the inquiries asked for. SPECIAL NOTICE ATTENTION is again directed to the man giving the names of HEWITT, TURNER, WHITE- HOUSE, and THOMPSON described in Case No. 27, 3rd, and Case No. 4, 21th March last, also the subject of a Special Notice in POLICE GAZETTE of 31st March last. He is now supposed to be identical with a man wanted in the Metropolitan Police District for committing a violent assault on a bank manager. It is requested that bankers, contractors, boat builders, and billiard table makers may be again cautioned against this man and furnished with his description with a view to his being given into custody.
