SPECIAL NOTICE. PRISONERS UNDER REMAND. The aid of the Metropolitan Police is frequently sought by other Police Forces to make inquiries respecting the antecedents of prisoners under re- mand, and such inquiries often result in identi- fying accused persons as being old offenders. But, in many cases, the time allowed for such inquiries is so brief that effect cannot be given to the request for information or that it can be com- plied with only in a perfunctory manner, and at great inconvenience. The Editor would therefore suggest, in the interest of the Provincial Police Forces, that four clear days, at least, should be allowed in cases of the kind, to complete the inquiries asked for.

E.," to a firm of musical instru- ment dealers : " Dear sir,— My tuner reports to me on his return from Yarmouth that there is a person there offering a quite new piano of yours for £ 10. My man ascertained that he has only just come from your immediate neighbourhood. He is pro- ducing a printed receipt purporting to be given by you for £ 32 for this instrument in April last in name of G. Watson. Did you have such a sale? If not it is quite evident beyond all possible doubt that he has absconded with it. I suggest if you deem it necessary to send my man down there at once, obtain the number and wire it to you im- mediately he has seen it and await your instructions there. The instrument is for sale at an auction room. I should not undear the circumstances charge you for my man's time, but could not pay out of pocket expenses, rail fare, & c. Your in- structions at once, accompanied with expenses, say 10s. I will at once act upon, as there is not a moment to lose in the matter. In haste and strict confidence, faithfully yours, F. J. Harrison." About 2 days after receiving the amount asked for, he wires from another town stating he has traced the piano there, and requests that £ 1 be forwarded by telegraph to the post office in that town, to be called for, to defray extra expenses incurred.
