Letters relating to criminal business addressed by other Police Forces to Scotland Yard, are very frequently delayed, owing to the envelopes con taining them being directed incorrectly or inade- quately. In such cases prompt attention cannot be assured unless the letters are addressed " The Assistant Commissioner of Police, Criminal Investigation Department, New Scotland Yard, London, S. W." SPECIAL NOTICE. DURHAM COUNTY. THE Police are requested to warn Hotel and Boarding House keepers, against a person residing in France, and signing himself at various times, M. CH. EDOUARD, E. CH. CHEVILOTTE, HENRI CHARTON, MADAME CHEVILOTTE, B. S. OLIVIER, & c. This person has adopted the plan of writing from various addresses in France to Hotel keepers and others in England, saying that he is com- pelled to reside here for a specified time, and, having decided to take up his residence at their Hotel, he has deposited a certain sum of money at a London Bank to cover the cost of his board, etc., while staying at their establishment, and that he may be expected by a certain date. A letter usually follows from a supposed carry- ing agent ( generally signed with one of the fore- going names), asking the Hotel proprietor to remit a certain sum of money to cover the cost of con- veyance of the luggage of the guest from France to the Hotel. Documents of an elaborate and official appearance accompany this request for a re- mittance. Attempts to obtain money by the above- mentioned method have recently been made at Darlington and other places: the Union Bank of London being usually mentioned as the Bank at which the deposit has been made.
