SPECIAL NOTICE. THE amount of stolen property at pre- sent " circulated " by the Metropolitan Police has become so inordinately large as to prejudice or destroy the practical value of the records, and it has been found necessary to limit it very consider- ably. It has been decided, therefore, to discontinue the " circulation" 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. Ciiief Constables are re- quested accordingly, when forwarding lists of stolen property to Scotland Yard, ta- 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 " circulation" of the particulars they contain is not desired. The same course will he followed with respect to property lost and persons missing. THE very numerous complaints received from all parts of the country respecting THE MONO- CHROME PORTRAIT COMPANY, of Ealing ( London), give abundant proof that this is a thoroughly fraudulent business. The swindle con- sists in leading people to believe that they will receive an enlargement of a photograph, together with a valuable watch, gratis, the conditions being that they will buy a frame for the photograph and obtain other victims for the Company. As a matter of fact, the amount charged for the frame is sufficient to pay for frame, photograph, and watch, with a very liberal margin to cover advertis- ing and profit.
