SPECIAL NOTICE. FUGITIVE OFFENDERS. A 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 dispatch of two telegrams, the cost of which had to be refunded 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 Colonies. METB0P0LITAN POLICE. CAUTION 1.— Information has been received by Mr. Monro, Assis- tant Commissioner of Metropolitan Police, that the notorious turf fraud gang, comprised of William Kurr, Frederick Kurr, Edwin Murray, and others, have issued from Geneva a circular to private persons and others in Great Britain and elsewhere, offering for sale a gold key- less watch for £ 2, that can be pledged in England for £ 2 10s., and holding out as an inducement to intending purchasers a present of a Coupon in Government Lotteries in France, Antwerp, and Switzerland, entitling them to the chance of winning £ 6,000, or 1,915 smaller prizes. As a proof of the value of the w atch, a fac- simile of the watch, and duplicate of a watch pledged for £ 2 10s. at one of the well- known London pawnbrokers, is inserted in the circular. As a matter of fact, the pledging is correct, but the watch was taken out of pledge before this informa- tion was received, probably to avoid inspection, and the pawnbroker is unable to describe it otherwise than as a gold keyless watch. It is supposed that the modus operandi will be that in the first instance a watch worth the money will be sent as a sample. This will induce the purchaser to recojwmend it to his friends, and probably send a larger order with a remittance. In exchange he will obtain worthless Swiss watches, or very inferior articles, and having once parted with his money, there will be no remedy for him. The firm issuing these circulars is styled " Henry Williams & Co., Geneva." Williams is a well- known alias of E. Murray. 2 T H E POLICE GAZETTE. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1885. APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT.

ECCI/ ES, ( Late Snperintendent X Division Metropolitan Police.) WHAT SHALL I DO THEN WITH JESUS? Last week we considered answers to this question as illustrated to us in Old Testament days. This week let us take it into the light of the first Christmas, and see who received Jesus, and who received Him not. Very significant is the earliest record : " There was no room for Him in the Inn." Many coming and going, no thought about the coming Messiah, so no recognition of Him ; no denial of Him ; simply He was crowded out. All minds were not thus pre- occupied and unprepared, for next we read of the shepherds receiving the " glad tidings," undaunted by the startling contrast presented to their minds between the fact announced and the sign " Glory," " a babe, " In the Highest," " lying in a manger," " Christ the Lord," " wrapped in swaddling clothes !" Wonderful was the faith which said : " Let us go and not see if these things are so," but " see this thing which is come to pass." A fitting prelude to becoming the first Evangelists— simplicity first, science next— finds its way to the Saviour. The familiar story of the wise men comes next, their journey, their perse- verance, their faith, their worship of the Holy Child ; and alongside are warning records of Herod, and all Jerusalem being troubled at the very thought suggested to them by these earnest travellers, of chief priests, scribes, and Sanhedrims, in spite of most accurate head- knowledge, ignoring the Christ they subsequently condemned to death. Why did they not receive Him? Why now is He not received 1 Is it because there is no room for Him 1 Is it because He comes not in the way we expected Him to come ? Is it because we cannot yield to His^ titles as those shepherds and magi did, acknowledging Him as " Christ the Lord." or " He Who is born King" 1 Many would like Jesus to save them from He. l, who have no wish that Christ should save them from sin. Many like to be bidden " Come to Christ as you are," who shrink from coming to be made what they are not. Is there not the oid rebellion at the Lordship of Christ? the re- delivery of " We will not have this man to reign over us !" Think over these things. PETER ROBINSON'S MOURNING WAREHOUSE.
