CAUTION METROPOLITAN POLICE DISTRICT. L— NOTICE. AGrENCE - EINANCIEEE OF GENEVA. This is a limited liability company, registered in Greneya on the 9th April, 1837, The names of the registered association are as follows:— C. A. Leppert, manager. H. Cartier, small tradesman. G. Kling, small tradesman. EXTRADITION. An Extradition Treaty was concluded on the 24th of November, 1886, between Her Majesty and His Majesty the Emperor of Russia, for the mutual sur- render of fugitive criminals. It is one of the most complete treaties on Extradi- tion which are now in force. Article 3 provides that " Either Government may, in its absolute discretion, refuse to deliver up its own subjects to the other Government." The following is a list of the Extradition Treaties concluded between Her Majesty's Government and other countries :— 1, America ( United States of); 2, Austria- Hungary ; 3, Belgium ; 4, Brazil ; 5, Denmark ; 6, France ; 7, Ger- many ; 8, Guatemala ; 9, Hayti; 10, Italy ; 11, Luxem- burg ; 12, Netherlands ; 13, Russia; 14, Salvador; 15, Spain ; 16, Sweden and Norway ; 17, Switzerland ; 18, Tonga. Any steps with a view to obtain the surrender of a fugitive criminal from Siam, or from the Straits Settlements, should be taken under the Fugitive Offenders Act, 1881, 44 and 45 Vic. c 69. A new form of indemnity has recently been issued by the Home Office, which can be used in Fugitive Offenders or Extradition cases. H. Stoeusse, small tradesman. F. Willeumier, journeyman upholsterer. G. Reugg, clerk in the Agence. The majority of the members, it will be observed, are apparently not capitalists, and, in the opinion of the Swiss police, are men of straw, who have obliged Leppert by signing their names to the articles of association. Leppert is not known as a man of considerable means. He failed in busiuess as a banker some years ago, was prosecuted for fraud, and on the 28th February, 1883, was sentenced to four months' imprisonment for having obtained 65,500 francs by worthless cheques on a Berlin firm. None of those whose names are given above are Englishmen. The circular which has been issued is written by an Englishman, and the paper used in several of the issues is of English make, which indicates participation in the venture on the part of an Englishman or Englishmen. The style of the circular suspiciously resembles that of the late prospectus issued by Williams & Co. ( alias Murray and W. Kurr), and of the advertisements connected with the previous transactions of these persons. It has been ascertained that W. Kurr, the notorious convict, attends daily at the office of the Agence Financiere. Leppert was the banker of Williams & Co., and, in the opinion of the Swiss police, the prospectus and the funds for working the undertaking emanate from W. Kurr. The Agence commence operations in this country by issuing a circular, in which they give, as references, the names of gentlemen of the highest respectability. These gentlemen never authorised the use of their names in connection with the Agence at ail. Their names were appended to the certificates of character of one of the applicants for the post of local manager of the '' Agence" in this country. The Manager of the Agence has since explained that they were misled in this matter by the applicant referred to ; into the merits of this matter there is no occasion to enter; the fact remains that they issued, as references with regard to the Agence, the names of gentlemen who were simply references as to the character of an individual applicant for a post under the Agence. Considering the auspices under which the Agence has started, the suspicious circumstances under which its operations in this country have been commenced, it is desirable that the attention of Police should be directed to the scheme of Government Bonds introduced into this country by the Agence. 2 THE POLICE GAZETTE.

On that memorable night, when Israel was redeemed through the blood of the Lamb, God's word of promise was that He would pass through the land to smite the Egyptians : " and when He seeth the blood upon the lintel and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door and will not suffer the destroyer to come in . . . to smite you." The words are more literally translated, Jehovah will spring forward before the door," conveying the forcible idea of Jehovah, shel- tering, by His own outspread wings, the blood- sprinkledhome and thus intercepting the stroke of the destroyer. This brings out the very truth we so much need- viz , that the Lord has placed Himself between the sinner and the slayer. God s law was bound to smite, and smite it did. But whom ? Not the guilty sinner but the guiltless substitute, tha Lord Jesus. He bared His own bosom to the sword which should have pierced me. He groaned beneath the curse which must have overwhelmed me. Ho drank the cup of wrath which must have meant hell for me. And having accomplished this glorious salvation for us, think how, on one hand He yearns that we should rcceive and enjoy it, and on the other, how terrible will he the guilt of those who refuse or neglect. The receiving ; oh ! how easy, lhe missing of the blessing, no less easy. And then the link between Exod. xii. and Isai. xxxi. He who redeemed is pledged to defend He who sprang forward before the door in that dread night is " the same yesterday, to- day, and for ever. 1 ass- ing over, He will preserve it," or " leaping forward and rescuing her.
