SPECIAL NOTICE. FUGITIVE OFFENDERS. A recent 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 despatch of two telegrams, the cost of which had to be re- funded 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 un- willing to incur any expense, with a view to obtain his surrender, a notification be made in the communi- cation 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 Colon'es.

METROPOLITAN POLICE DISTRICT. 104.— The attention of Police is called to the opera- tions of JESSE WILBY, of 130, Great Dover- street, London, S. E. He advertises in the daily and other newspapers under his own name, and that of JULIA FISHER, requesting persons possessed of a sewing machine to communicate with him, enclosing stamped envelope. On receipt of the envelope he writes to the person sending it, stating that for the sum of Is. Id. he will supply a pamphlet, describing how J55 a year was earned by means of a sewing machine; but although the money is generally sent, the pamphlet is never forthcoming. This man also resorts to a form of swindling under the name of " The Novelty Publishing Co." He sends out lists of publications with obscene titles, which he intimates are of a very extraordinary character, and for which he charges high prices. Any customer who is deluded into sending him money receives a pam- phlet of little value, and free from such obscenity as would justify legal proceedings being taken against the vendor. CHESHIRE. 105.— The attention of Police is directed to the fol- lowing description of TWO MEN, who, on 10th Nov., obtained the key of an unoccupied house— No. 8, Gladstone road, Seacombe— on the pretence of looking through it with a view of becoming tenants, but who never entered into tenancy, and who must either have obtained a duplicate key, or have so manipulated the lock as to be able to enter it at any time, as for about 10 days they made use of the empty house for the pur- pose of receiving letters and parcels of goods fraudu- lently obtained through the " Exchange and Mart." These men have not been seen since 20th ult., and will no doubt be carrying on similar practices at some other place.

For twenty years have I made this a rule. Christ is just as habitually near, as personally present to me as any other person living; and when I have any troubles, trials, and afflictions, I go to Him ; just as if I could talk face to face with Him. Twenty years ago God met me one night and took me to His bosom ; and I would sooner give up my life to- night than give up Christ, or that I should leave Him, or that He should leave me, and I should thus have no one to bear my burdens or tell my sorrows to. Why, He is worth more than all the world besides, and He will have compassion upon you as He had upon me. I tried for weeks to find a way to Him, and I just went and laid my burden upon Him, and then He revealed Himself to me, and I have ever since found Him a true and sympathising friend. Just the friend you need. I beseech you go right straight to Him." D. L. MOODY. ENAMELLED IRON CAB CABMEN'S BADGES; NUMBERS, CAB FARE PLATES. NUMBERS FOR DOOR, do. " POLICE STATION" PLATES.
