SOPHIA EAGLES, 31 Paulet Road, Camberwell, employs women to collect subscrip- tions from the charitably disposed on the behalf of a " Children's Help Fund." This woman does not stay long at any address, and very few children are in any wav benefitted by the subscriptions obtained. At the present time only one child is being supported by her. No books are kept by which any evidence might be obtained as to the true state of affairs, and it is strongly suspected that the money collected is not used for the purpose it is given, and that only small sums are occasionally supplied to needy children, by which Eagles shields herself against criminal proceedings. ( Corres. 159071.) But all offenders of the first Division, and such of the second Division as have never been pre- viously convicted, are exempted from this order. In order to avoid the retention of useless records in the Finger Print Denartment, the Registrar of Habitual Criminals would be glad if the Chief Constables of Counties, Cities, and Boroughs, will, in future, notify the death of any criminal who has been finger- printed. The notification should contain the full name and aliases, particulars of conviction, or con- victions if possible, also the No. published in the list of Habitual Criminals. SPECIAL NOTICES.
