Thanks Linda and Tony for stories from "A History of The Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary". Of course, you will not find any of my good people in there! Edna ~ (;-))ttawa ---- More from "A History of The Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary 1839-1966" Aldershot 1906 - Sergeant Eades and Constable Pope were highly commended for their "praiseworthy perseverance" in tracing a horse, cart and harness stolen from Aldershot. The officers continued their enquiries on bicycles for several days "finally arresting the thieves and recovering the stolen property at Birmingham" Meonstoke - June 1899 - First Class Constable Jennings was "commended for his prompt action in a case of larceny. He had traced the 2 men responsible on his bicycle and arrested them at Guildford with the stolen property in their posession" Broughton (year not stated but in 1865-1890 section) - Constable Meacham "who had brought discredit on the Force by joining in a party given by dishonest servants in their employers house at Broughton. This sordid carouse had not broken up until 4am. Far from protecting poperty, more especially in the absence of the owner, Meacham had assisted in misusing it. He was dismissed the service and in addition, fined a weeks pay"

Linda and Tony You don't by any chance have my great great grandmother in there, do you? She murdered her daughter and two stepsons in Titchfield in 1891, was tried in Winchester in 1892 and spent 53 years in Broadmoor until she died in 1945.
