New and fascinating : Feature. PUBLICATION ■ ; * ’ 01' INSPECTOR MEIKLEJOHN'S DETECTIVE EXPERIENCES. ‘OEW callings in life have been so largely JL. drawn upon by the Novelist and Dramatist as that of the Detective. Many writer.s, particularly of the French School, have found their special avocation in the production of Detective Stories, the entire scope of whioh is confined to the discovery of the perpetrators of outrages upon society. This has led'more recently to the production of so Called biographies of notorious criminals, describing in glowing colours the lives and adventures of thieves and murderers. Tbo influence of such publications baa not always been found 'beneficial to the morals of society: Lnred-by the brilliance thrown around the doings of some well known oliaradter, some have admired and even emulated deedd described with such relish, and have had bitter cause to regret, i Now, a glance at the note-book of a Chief Detective has a deterrent effect upon in* dividualsdisposed towards criminality. The career of the evil-doer cannot appear attractive when described from a * thief-taker's ’ standpoint. The criminal ceases to be a hero. Justice calls for vengeance upon him, and the detective figures os the agent by which society attains its ends. And it is in the ingenuity with which the clue of identification is-followed, the unrelenting character of the quest, the tricks and turnß of the pursued, the skill and ingenuity of the pursuer, the close of the struggle—perchance after a hand-to-hand encounter—that the great interest in works of this character consists. These Detective Experiences refer mainly to sensational crimes and stupendous frauds, the reports of which electrified the whole country some fifteen or twenty years ago, and in investigating which Meiklejohn took the leading part. As one of the heads of Scotland Yard, Meiklejohn had an unusually varied and exciting career, and in following his, at times, desperate calling, he has tra,veiled from end to end of Great Britain, and has also had commissions on the Continent, America, and Australia —all of. which find a modest, but none the less thrilling, record at his own hands. The' Episodes covered by Inspector Meiklejohn in the course of hia forthcoming Experiences ’ will include the following : The Great Wimbledon Burglary The Countess of Ellesmere’s Shawl Forgeries on West End Bankers and Tradesmen The ‘ Count ’ and the ‘Valet ’ Brandy Robberies Horse Stealing Pursuit of a Forger to Melbourne Funeral at Sea In Western Australia From Melbourne to London with a Prisoner Colonial Life Approaching Old England * Chelsea George ’ and ‘Portico ’ Robberies Garrotte Robbery with Violence Mistaken Identity Burglary at Lord George Paget’s Attempted Burglary at Clapham Garrotting Guarding Royalty Coin Robbery Kleptomania Burglary at Belgian Legation Forgeries on Army Agents Portico Robberies at Hammersmith Thieves’ Dens and Criminal Resorts Through the Slams with a Prince The Opium Smokers of London Gutter Children The Fatal Bundle Diamond Robbery in Bond-street Robbery at Lady Marsden’s Mansions Apprehending a Man in Church Escape of a Prieoner Annther Diamond Robbery Coiners and Smashers Loan Office Swindles The Resources of Civilisation A New Comrade in Crime A Leap Overboard Christmas in Bantry A Holiday in Ireland An Irish Stew The Sights of Dublin, &c., &c.
