Numerous complaints have been received by the Metropolitan Police, for many years past, of frauds committed in the province 3 throughout the United Kingdom, by the sale of the following articles: — " The Stramonium Cigarette," " The Bronchial Cigarette," " The Herbal Cigarette," " The Jubilee Marking Ink," " The Whitby Je* Marking Ink," " The Ccsmopolitan or Crown Cement." The method of carrying Attention is directed to Police Gazette of 27th January last, Case No. 39, giving particulars of " C. Jackson," wanted at Stourbridge, on a warrant for fraud in connection with the sale of the Stramonium cigarettes. follows :— The tradesman selected as a victim is generally tempted by a promise to be made a distiict agent, to he supplied with an automatic machine or a show- case, to have his name, as the local agent, printed on paper bags, and advertised in a local newspaper, etc. In this way, the pretended traveller, producing a bill or memorandum form with a printed address, purporting to be that of the company or firm ( generally in the East End of London), manages to effect a sale, allowing as a discount the first quarter's salary as a district agent. Sometimes an agreement is made that the cigarettes, etc., are not to be sold till the arrival of the machine, and that if not sold within six weeks the money will be returned. The cigarettes, etc., are found to be unsaleable, and nothing more is heard from the traveller or firm. Enquiries made in London indicate that the pre- tended travellers, of whom there are several, occupy a roc- m for a short time, their letters being for- warded to them by arrangement at provincial post offices. The unoccupied room is given as the address of the firm or company. Amongst the names most frequently given by the pretended travellers were " H. Perry," " C. J. Rose," " S. Wilson," " A. Smith," " W. R. Snell," " B. W. Myers," " D. Myers," " J. de Costa," " Jonas Ellis," '' W. Collings," " M. Morris," " J. Hunter,' V D. Stephens," " J. Henry," alias " Hunnett, " J. W. Graham," and " E. P. Corder." Of the names of firms given, the following do not exist:—" E. Ware & Co.," 38, Beaumont- street; " Rose Isaacs," G, Beaumont- street; " Collins & Sons," East Dulwich; " Stramonium Co.," 3A, Shandy- street; " M. Adams," 3A, Shandy- street. Asher Ellis, of 56, St. Peter's- road, which is identical with 56, Cephas- street, is a maker of Stramonium Cigarettes, and he denies that he has any travellers in his employ. The following cases in the " Police Gazette," refer to this method of committing fraud:— Case No. 15, 15th August, 1884; Case No. 94,17th Octo- ber, 1884; Case No. 108, 14tli November, 1884; Case No. 51, 4th June, 1886 ; Case No. 5, 7th July, 1889. No action can be taken by the Metropolitan Police unless process is first obtained. Attention is called to advertisements in London and Provincial newspapers, purporting to be inserted by Miss HARRISON, 38, St. Michael's- grove, North Kensington; Miss GUARD, 14, Bloompark- road, Fulham; and Miss CANNON, 124, Western- road, out the fraud is as j Brighton, offering, for one stamp, to send a recipe by which advertiser was cured of long- standing rheumatism in three days. Instead of a recipe a letter is sent, recommending the treatment of CHARLES MONTAGUE, alias BONAPARTE HIRCHFIELD, " Rheumatic Specialist," of 3, Red Lion- square, and 18, Great Russell- street, W. C. Montague is an unqualified and illiterate man, and the advertisements are inserted by him, and the letters written by a person in his employ. The medicine supplied, for wh' eh heavy charges are made, does not po- sess the efficacy claimed for it. Several enquiries having been received by the Metropolitan Police, about a man named ALLEN, who is engaged collecting subscriptions in aid of disabled firemen, the following particulars are given for the information of provincial police forces:— The man, Allen, is agent" for a scheme called the National Disabled Firemen's Institution. This Institution is promoted by a man named S. S. SECCOMBE, who has been known to the Metropolitan Police for a great man}' years, in con- nection with various schemes of a doubtful charac- ter relating to fire brigades. There is no proof that the present scheme is a fraudulent or even a bogus one, but, having regard to Seccombe's antecedents in such matters, and to the fact that it is quite unrecognised by the London Fire Brigade, it is evidently undeserving of public support.
