SPECIAL NOTICE. The amount of stolen property at present" circu- lated " 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 considerably. It has been decided, therefore, to discontinue the " cir- culation " in Informationsand 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. Chief Con- Btables are requested accordingly, when forwarding lists of stolen property to Scotland Yard, to 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 " circula- tion " of the particulars they contain is not desired. The same course will be followed with respect to property lost and persons missing. SPECIAL MEMORANDUM. METROPOLITAN POLICE DISTRICT l— Criminal Investigation De- partment. — Correspondence No. 182508. Special attention is called to a man giving the names of FLETCHER CAMPBELL, BURNBY, JAMES, HOWARD, and GOUGH, who is in the habit of calling at Police Stations and on solicitors in the Provinces, under the pretence of giving information respecting a man who wishes to give himself up to the Police for robbing a Mr. Stockall, stealing pictures from the National Gallery, or nuggets from Cockspur Street. He generally mentions the name of a London Officer, and states that the stolen property is concealed in a house at Bethnal Green. Except that the crimes mentioned did take place, his story is an entire fabrication, and has caused a deal of unnecessary enquiry and expense to the forces concerned. APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT.
