SPECIAL NOTICE. TH B gang of criminals who traded as MADAME FRAIN, mentioned in the warning notice which appeared in these columns on 9th September. 1898, were convicted at the November Sessions of the Central Criminal Court for inciting women to administer to themselves noxious things with intent to procure miscarriage. In sentencing the prisoners, Mr. Justice Darling referred in the following terms to the newspapers whieh inserted the advertisements of such criminals :—" If any advertisement which incited to this or any other crime appeared again, the proprietors. Editors, and printers of the news- papers which made them public, would deserve to find themselves— and if any words of his had any influence with the Treasury, they would find themselves— in that dock ; and although they pointed out no particular means for the com- mission of the crime, if the Jury found that they did incite to crime, they would probably receive a more severe sentence than that passed in this case."—( The Times, 27th November, 1899).
