SPECIAL NOTICE. PRISOSERS 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 wrruld therefore suggest, in the interest of the Provinci » 1 Police Forces, that four clear days, - at least, should be allowed in cases of the kind, to complete the inquiries asked for. SPfeCIAL NOTICE. THE amount of stolen property at pre- sent " circulated" by the Metropolitan Police has become so inordinately large p, s to prejudice or destroy the practical value of the records, and it has been fpund necessary to limit it very consider- ably. It has been decided, therefore, to discontinue the " circulalion" in Infor- mations and Pawnbrokers' Lists of all property stolen in the provinces, unless where there are grounds for believing that the property has found its way to the Metropolis. Chief Constables are re- quested accordingly, when forwarding lists of stolen property to Scotland Yard, to send with them a letter to that effect. And if bills or circulars are received in future, unaccompanied by such a letter, it will be assumed that the " circulation1' of the particulars they contain is not desired. The same course will be followed with respect to propeity lost and persons missing.

His modus operandi is to travel from town to town, accompanied by a boy or a very young man, and to give orders without payment to farmers and manu- facturers for wholesale quantities of goods, which he intercepts before delivery by counter instructions to the railway company, and having disposed of the goods removes to another town to which he has already arranged for their consignment.
