I have an occupation of "Inspector of C.M. Brigade" in an 1882 baptismal register at St Dunstans and All Saints, Stepney. The gentleman this pertains to became a Superintendent at Dr Barnardos in the 1901 census. Rosemary
[London] City Mission Brigade perhaps? It's a guess because I can't find anywhere that they formed a Brigade of their own although some other Missions did so. .

There's a reference to this organisation in an article in the Tamworth Herald of 10 June 1882 in an article headed "Dr Barnardo's Homes", and a quick search with Google finds other suggestive pages. I'm sure you can track down more. For example: http://infed.org/mobi/thomas-john-barnardo-the-doctor/ Kept the little ones busy, I dare say.
