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 Police. 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 tliere is reason to believe that a fugitive offender is likely to go to the Colonies, and the prosecutor is unwilling to incur any expense with a view to obtain his surrender, a notification be made in the commu- nication sent to this Office to the effect that the offender is not to be arrested beyond the United King- dom. The necessity for the adoption of such a course will be apparent from the fact that the POLICE GAZETTE is circulated in the Colonies. SPECIAL NOTICE. METROPOLITAN POLICE DISTRICT, Letters relating1 to criminal business, addressed by other Police Forces to Scotland Yard, are very frequently de- layed, owing- to the envelopes containing them being- directed incorrectly or inade- quately.
