Cities and Boroughs therein, arranged in alphabetical order. 2.— Any additional copies of the GAZETTE beyond the number at present supplied will be forwarded on application in the form set forth in circular of the 7th of November, 1883. 3.— It is particularly requested that any complaints as to non- delivery or of irregularity in the date of de- livery of the POLICE GAZETTE, may be at once notified to the Editor. SPECIAL NOTICE. FUGITIVE OFFENDERS. A case has come under the notice of the Editor in which a person whose apprehension was sought in England, and who was described in the POLICE GAZETTE, gave himself up to the Colonial Police. The prosecutor declined to take any further action in the matter, but the case necessitated the dispatch of two telegrams, the cost of which had to be re- funded by him. To avoid such expense, the Editor requests that if there is reason to believe that a fugitive offender is likely to go to the Colonies, and the prosecutor is un- willing to incur any expense with a view to obtain his surrender, a notification be made in the communi- cation sent to this Office to the effect that the offender is not to be arrested beyond the United Kingdom. The necessity for the adoption of such a course will be apparent from the fact that the POLICB GAZETTE is circulated in the Colonies. SPECIAL NOTICE. SUPPOSED MURDER OR ATTEMPTED MURDER.
