The following is a copy of the order which governs the circulation, by the Metropolitan Police, of adver- tisements, or reward bills, for the discovery of property or the detection of crime. The Editor inserts it, in hope of preventing delays which sometimes occur in publishing such notices, on account of their not being in accordance with the regulations in force in the Metropolis :— 1. Printed hand- bills, or other advertisements, offering a reward for the discovery of property or the detection of crime, whether printed and issued by the Metropolitan Police, or distributed and exhibited, with the sanction of the Commissioners, on the application of private persons, or of the Police of any County or Borough, must be clearly expressed in relation to the following points— ( a) The amount of the reward. ( b) The conditions on which it is payable. ( c) The name and address of the person by whom it will be paid. ( d) That the name and address of the printer appear thereon. ( 32 and 33 Vic., cap. 24, sec. 2.) 2. No expression must be used in such an adver- tisement, in relation to property stolen, or criminally taken or disposed of, holding out any expectation that the reward will be paid on its return without the offender being brought to trial, or without enquiry. Attention is specially directed to clause ( d), par. 1, as Police Notices are constantly being received by the Metropolitan Police without the printer's name and address, and they are consequently not distributed. NOTE.— There are 181 Stations of the Metropolitan Police Force at which Notices can be posted. SPECIAL NOTICE. Numerous complaints have been received by the Metropolitan Police respecting a man named CAB VER, alias R. B. HAYDON, J. V. WOODS, G. S. VANNER. G. WINGFIELD, G. RAWLINSON, J. R. S. WRIGHT, and G. B. LEFTWICH. See Case No. 17, POLICE GAZETTE, 29th April, 1898, wanted on a warrant by Carnarvon police for fraud. His practice is to send circulars, with samples of serge, to dressmakers in small provincial towns, stating that he is opening a Postal Department for the purpose of securing an effective advertisement, for four days only. He offers serge, as per samples, for Is. and Is. 2d. per yard, stating his usual prices are 2s. 6| d. and 3s. 9id. per yard, and requests that Postal Orders may be forwarded ( as cheques will not be accepted), to addresses which are newspaper shops, & c. The receipt of Postal Orders he acknow- ledges by post cards, stating that he will send parcels on in two or three days, which he fails to do. Chief Constables are requested to cause dressmakers to be warned, as far as practicable, and should any of the above circulars be received, it is desired that im- mediate information may be forwarded to the Assistant Commissioner, Criminal Investigation De partment, New Scotland Yard, S. W. GEORGE EDWARD McDONALD, alias WIL- LIAM FOSTER, who, on the occasion of his arrest in London, on a warrant for burglary in North- amptonshire, shot at and seriously wounded a Metropolitan police constable, has been convicted at the Central Criminal Court of the attempt to murder, and sentenced to penal servitude for life. The numerous police forces to whom route forms have been sent in this case are requested to take note of the conviction, which will be of general interest in the various counties in which this man is believed to have committed burglaries. The case is of interest also as being a rare instance of an adequate sentence for injuries caused by a criminal to a police officer. APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT.
