FECIAL NOTICE. IT is notified for the information of the Police Forces generally that the existing arrange- ments provide that all persons convicted of offences falling under classes II to V, appendix A of the Judicial Statistics, 1899, pages 220 to 224, and sentenced at Quarter Sessions or Assizes to imprisonment for a month or longer, are criminally registered by having their finger- prints and photo- graphs taken in the prisons a fortnight before release. The Police of the Metropolis have been in- structed that whenever they deem it desirable to have criminally registered persons convicted of offences, and sentenced to imprisonment in Magistrates' Courts, the words " finger- prints " or " finger- prints and photograph " are to be added to the form on which the conviction is reported to the Chief Office, who then place themselves in correspondence with the prison authorities. It is suggested that Chief Constables and Heads of County and Borough Police Forces might similarly apply specially in suitable cases for the finger- prints and photographs of persons convicted in Magistrates' Courts whom they believe to be professional or dangerous criminals. SPECIAL NOTICE. FUGITIVE OFFENDERS, A case has come under the notice of the Editor, in which a person whose apprehension was sought 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. APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT.
