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. " The Tulto Puzzle," of " Sydney Dove and Co.," 110, Strand, London, is a fraud, about which the Metropolitan Police have received complaints from all parts of the country. " Dove and Co." is a man named W. D. Gordon, with several aliases, who has been several times convicted— twice for conspiracy aud fraud, and three times for conducting lotteries. His present scheme is one of several by which he has lately defrauded the public without bringing himself within reach of the Criminal Law, and he will, no doubt, promote further swindles of the same kind. The Metropolitan Police cannot assist people foolish enough to be taken in by him. Attention is called to the exposure of him in Truth, of 28th inst.
