I. D., No. 184108. 21 SMITH & CO., alias NORTH & CO., and THOMAS SMITH PAYNTER. — Advertises home employment.

( No. 77433.) 22 SPANISH SWINDLE.— This fraud has many phases, the most common being a sum of money either buried in the ground or impounded some- where on account of debt, which, on being re- leased, is to be divided between the swindler or his " orphan daughter" and the dupe.— POLICE GAZETTE, 21st October, 1898. ( No. 183560.) 23 D. STEVENS or DAVIES or HARRIS, & c., The Laurels, West Drayton, Middlesex.— Dealer in birds, which he advertises for sale, but fails to supply for some time.

Before sending the picture he demands money for, either ( a) cost of a suitable frame, or ( 6) cost of packing case and transit. In either case the sum asked is ex- orbitant, and more than covers the whole cost of production. Unless the money is sent, photo- graph is neither returned nor promise fulfilled.— POLICE GAZETTE, 21st September, 1900. ( No. 74139.) 26 VARNEY, 40, Angel Lane, Stratford.— Some- times advertises in the name of HUMMEL.— Deals in live stock, & c. Very dilatory in his business methods, and makes plausible excuses when complaints are received. ( No. 143164.) NOTE. For the information of Polioe and. for their guidance, it is to be noted that there is a tendency among certain doubtful traders to dispose of the letters they receive in answer to their advertisements to other doubtful traders, either by sale or exchange. The signature is then cut from each letter, affixed to an artfully worded circular and sent to the writer. The recipient frequently writes Police to enquire how his or her signature came into possession of sender, or suggesting that it has been forged. Very many, however, seeing their own signature, imagine that the firm is genuine, and so are easily deceived. APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT.
