SPECIAL NOTICE. Letters relating to criminal business addressed by other Police Forces to Scotland Yard, are very frequently delayed, owing to the envelopes con- taining them being directed incorrectly or inade- quately. In such cases prompt attention cannot be assured unless the letters are addressed " The Assistant Commissioner of Police, Criminal Investigation Department, New Scotland Yard, London, S. W." SPECIAL NOTICE. NUMEROUS complaints have been received by Police respecting one, so- called, BISHOP MCLAGLEN, who solicits subscriptions on behalf of the Gordon Memorial Day Nursery for little children, and the Shaftesbury Memorial Shoe Black Brigade for Homeless, Destitute, Deaf, Dumb, and Crippled Boys, 154 Denmark Street, St. George's- in- the- East. This institution, which is represented to be a home, is, in reality, only a place where a few poor children are left to be taken care of while their parents go out to work, 2d. per day is charged for each child. McLaglen resides at 23 East India Road, E., and describes himself as the Managing Director of the Home; he sends a number of men all over the country collecting subscriptions. It is not known whether the collectors make false representations when collecting, but they are believed to produce a printed receipt book, with counterfoils, which induces charitably dis- posed persons to conclude that these institutions are large and genuine. Fifty per cent, of the money thus obtained is given to the collectors as wages, exclusive of travelling and hotel expenses. There is every reason to think that McLaglen and his collectors have, for many years, lived entirely upon the money so obtained. They are not known to have any other source of income, and only a very small part of the money is expended upon the children. Although the whole thing is believed to be a fraud, there is not yet sufficient evidence to make McLaglen and his collectors amenable to the Criminal Law, but it is desirable that Provincial Police Forces should know about the man and his collectors, and it would be well if it could be ascertained what representations are made in order to obtain subscriptions.
