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.

THE FREE PORTRAIT FRAUD. ; TANQUEREY, of 9, Rue de St. Petersbourg, Paris, has for some years issued circulars offering a crayon enlargement, " made after any photograph, absolutely free of charge "; and his business has given rise to very numerous complaints. Except in the case of persons, whose social rank or official position is such as to make it worth his while to be honest, he never gives a protrait free of charge ; but on the ostensible score of supplying a frame, or to meet expenses of conveyance, he extorts payment sufficient to cover the cost of the picture. Truth, of the 27th inst., contains a full exposure of the fraud. Tanquerey is probably a man named Beresford, alias Gould, who was committed for trial at Folke- stone for similar frauds in 1893, and absconded from his bail. As he is beyond the reach of our law, the Police can do nothing to help complainants. ( C. I. D., Correspondence No. 74, 139.) APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT.
