In certain cases questions have arisen as to the payment for photographs applied for by Police Forces under Home Office circular of 15th March, 1897. The Registrar of Habitual Criminals is therefore authorised by the Secretary of State to say that, in any ordinary case, a photograph is not necessary to enable his Department to identify a prisoner, the measurements and finger prints being sufficient for the purpose ; but if a photo- graph is applied for, or if, in any rare case, it should be required to complete the identification, the cost will be charged to the Police Force interested. NUMEROUS complaints have been received from many places in the provinces, of frauds committed upon small shopkeepers and others, by men who solicit orders for marking ink, cigarettes, cement for mending china, & c. These swindlers demand a deposit when booking an order, and their victims hear no more of them. The samples they leave are worthless. They often represent themselves to be manufacturers or principals, and tempt their victims by the offer of an agency. Among the names used by them are SNELL, ROBERTS, BENJAMIN, DUNLOP. BUTT, ELLIS, COLLINS, BARBER, GUTHRIE, & c., they have many aliases. The address they give is generally in the East End of London. The Police would do well to give publicity to this warning. The GAZETTE of 8th December, 1893, contains a detailed notice of this fraud; and special cases are given in the GAZETTE of 28th May, 1897, No. 51; and of 1th February, 1898, No. 1. ( C. I. D.
