FUGITIVE OFFENDERS, v A case has come under the notice of the Editor, in which a person whose apprehension was Bought in England, and who was described in the POLICE GAZETTE, gave himself up to the Colonial Police. The prosecutor declined to take any further action in the matter, but the case necessitated the dispatch of two telegrams, the cost of which had to be refunded by him. To avoid such expense, the Editor requests that if there is reason to believe that a fugitive offender is likely to go to the Colonies, and the prosecutor is unwilling to incur any expense with a view to obtain his surrender, a notification be made in the communication sent to this Office to the effect that the offender is not to be arrested beyond the United Kingdom. The necessity for the adoption of such a course will be apparent from the fact that the POLICE GAZETTE is circulated in the Colonies. SPECIAL NOTICE. DR. HAMILTON SEYMOUR, of Anerley Road, S. E., is the cause of many complaints. He issues a paper called The Aye at long and in- definite intervals; and people who pay him for advertising their wares naturally suspect fraud, when months elapse before the paper appears. But there is no legal fraud, and complainants should be told that their only remedy is to take proceedings in the County Court. ( C. I. D. 105697).
