SPECIAL NOTICE. PRISONERS UNDER REMAND. The aid of the Metropolitan Police is frequently sought by other Police Forces to make inquiries respecting the antecedents of prisoners under remand, and such inquiries often result in identifying accused persons as being old offenders. But, in many cases, the time allowed for such inquiries is so brief that effect cannot be given to the request for information, or that it can be complied with only in a perfunctory manner, and at great inconvenience. The Editor would therefore suggest, in the interest of the Provincial Police Forces, that four clear days, at least, should be allowed in cases of the kind, to complete the inquiries asked for. SPECIAL NOTICE. METROPOLITAN POLICE DISTRICT. Criminal Investigation Department ( Corres- pondence No. 29960).— Attention is directed to several men who are engaged in a systematic Scotch Drapery Fraud, their modus operandi being to dis- tribute circulars ( with samples of linen, &. c. attached) amongst householders, on whom they subsequently call and take orders for the linen, which they do not execute, but introduce an inferior class of worthless cloth, which they usually dispose of at a good profit. Two men generally act in concert, one as traveller and the other as porter carrying the cloth. The firms by - whom the circulars purport to be issued usually give no definite address. A circular has been extensively issued by a firm calling itself Patterson and Co., of 71, Water Street, Edinburgh, and 141, Oxford Street, London. There is no such street at Edinburgh, and the firm is not known at 141, Oxford Street. APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT.
