APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT. 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 Informations and 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- ( stables 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- j tion " of the particulars they contain is not desired. ! The same course will be followed with respect to property lost and persons missing. METROPOLITAN POLICE DISTRICT 1 Convict Supervision Office.— CHRISTOPHER O.
