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 GAZKTTE, 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. APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT.

WILBEY, 29, Hunsdon- road, New Cross, London. He advertises in the daily and other newspapers under his ownname 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 stating that for the sum of Is. Id. he will supply a pamphlet describing how £ 55 a year was earned by means of a sewing machine, and although the money is generally obtained, the pamphlet is not forthcoming. This man also resorts to a form of swindling under the name of " The Novelty Publishing Co." He sends out liats of publications with suggestive 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 pamphlet of little value, and free from such obscenity as would justify legal proceedings being taken against him. ( See Caution, Case No. 106, - 28th November, 1884.) 104.— The attention of Police is specially directed to the proceedings of a man representing himself as PRINCE GEORGE ERISTOFF DE GOURIO of Russia, who calls on jewellers and orders jewellery of considerable value, stating that the articles are re- quired for wedding presents. He usually gives cheques in payment on the West London Commercial Bank, Earl's Court- road, where he had a small account about 2 years since. The cheques are returned marked " no effects," but in cases in which it is anticipated that criminal proceedings might be instituted, pay- ment has generally been arranged. He is, it is be- lieved, a foreigner of rank, but his action is fraudu- lent. Description— Age 28, height 5 ft. 10 in., slight, complexion sallow, hair, whiskers, and moustache ( thin) black,, prominent lips j dress, dark clothes, high hat, speaks with a foreign accent, and is stated to be a Russian from the Caucasus. 105.— The attention of Police is directed to the pro- ceedings of TWO MEN, stated to be brothers, who are travelling in the provinces as photographers, and obtaining money by false pretences. They represent themselves as agents for Messrs. Hope Bros, and Co., and T. Hinton and Co., 2, Colvin- street, Hammer- smith, London, and request permission to photograph shops, with a view of publishing a photographic directory. By these means they obtain orders for photographs, which are never completed. In many cases they have obtained part payment for the goods, and have given printed receipts bearing the names of the above firms who cannot be traced.

" I exhort thee to give up all thine attempts to feel right and to be right before coming to God in Christ Jesus. Have you not made a great failure of it already 1 You thought you were getting right for Christ, but just then you felt in the worst possible way. You have been trying to repair your old clothes and make yourself respectable before coming to Christ; but every time you have touched the garment the rent has grown worse. Give up all attempts to prepare for grace and come to Jesus Christ just as you are, confessing that you have sinned— that is the truth for you ; and on the ground that Christ died for sinners— that is the truth on God's side. Now, what is your state 1 Cold as an iceberg as to Divine things 1 Come and tell the Lord you are an iceberg, and ask Him to thaw you. Are you hard as a rock 1 Is there no feeling 1 Come and tell the Lord that you do not feel— tell Him just what you are ; and oh ! if you can dare, over the head of all your sin and sin- fulness, to say. ' Nevertheless, I rest myself on the Blood that cleanses from all sin, and I beseech Thee, 0 Lord, seeing I confess my sin, to cleanse me from all un- righteousness,' you will find Him faithful and just to do it. Come as sinners by nature, and sinners by practice. Come as the citizens of Calais did to King Edward III., with ropes about your neck, owning that if sentence be executed upon you you deserve it. You will not be long witnout peace if you draw nigh to God in that fashion. Take our Lord Jesus as empty- handed sinners take Him ; meet Him just as He is, and just as you are. God will deal with you truthfully. He will never cast away a sinner that conies to Him according to truth. " The Blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin." C. H. SPUROEON.
