SPECIAL NOTICE. FUGITIVE OFFENDERS. A case has come under the notice of the Editor, in which a person whose apprehension was aought 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. METROPOLITAN POLICE. CAUTION. 1.— Inforniation lias 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 1,975 smaller prizes. As a proof of the value of the watch, 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 recommend 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 G A Z E T T E. FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1886.

" This is to give notice that the above reward will be paid by Her Majesty's Postmaster- General to any person or persons furnishing such information as shall lead to the apprehension and conviction of the offender or offenders.

( Late Superintendent X Division Metropolitan Folic?.) QUESTION FOR IBB6. u What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits toward me ? " Christmas brought before us the thought of His benefits, His gifts, and now what shall we render? Are we saying, like David, " Who am I that I should be able to offer . . . for all things come of Thee ?" If so, let us read in that very chapter, 1 Chron. xxix., that David did offer, and his people did offer, and God accepted their offerings, noting the seven times- repeated word " willing." Before those days, in Exodus, wd read a similar experience, " They came, everyone whose heart stirred him up, and everyone whom his spirit made willing, brought a willing offering unto the Lord," and down through all these ages stands the record of their gifts. Did you ever read Numb. vii. 1 It would, indeed, seem a loig, tedious chapter, full of tiresome repetition, were it not a proof that God so values His people's presents that He thinks it worth while to record all these details of what they gave, and who give. He tells us of the Wise Men's gifts to the Holy Child Jesus ; of those who ministered unto Him of their substance ; of certain Corinthians, who " first gave their own selves to the Lord." He asks us, each one, " Give Me thine heart." " Who is willing to consecrate his service this day 1" He lets us know that with the sacri- fices of praise and of doing good He is well pleased. As of old He sits " over against the treasury," and sees " how the people cast into the treasury." " I beseech you, therefore, brethren, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." PETER ROBINSON'S MOURNING WAREHOUSE.
