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 Policy. 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 unwilling to incnr any expenoe with a view to obtain his surrender, a notification bo made ia the communication sont to this Offioe to the effect that the offender is not to be arrested beyond the United Kingdom. Tho necessity for the adoption ot 6uch a course will be apparent from the fact that the POLICI GAZETTE ie circulated in tho Colonies. SPECIAL NOTICE. METROPOLITAN POLICE DISTRICT.
