General Order No. 1
Parliamentary Elections 1910
1st January 1910
The attention of the Constabulary is drawn to S.G.O. 304 /00 and the Chief Constable directs that the instructions contained therein will be strictly obeyed in every particular during the forthcoming Election as in the past.
Superintendents will be careful in seeing that the Constables of their Divisions are made fully acquainted with all points named in the S.G.O. relating to their respective duties.
Referring to Para B. of S.G.O. directing that, should the Presiding Officer so request one of the Constables who have been on duty at Polling Stations may accompany him with the ballot boxes to the place of counting the votes, the Chief Constable directs that where there have been two Constables on duty at distant Polling Stations the local Constable will not be detailed for this duty but will remain behind to perform duty on his district.
The details of Constabulary ordered for duty either at Polling Stations or on Reserve in connection with the above Election will be dressed as follows;
* Second Helmets
* Second best tunics and dress trousers
* Second great coats and capes
* Leggings
* Black gloves
Where the material for the erection of secret compartments at Polling Booths have been sent to the Constables, the receipt of such will immediately be acknowledged to the Deputy Returning Officer or other persons from whom it has been received and will be kept by the Constable at his Station until called for by the Presiding Officer for the purpose of being erected at Polling Booths.
Constables will understand that they have not anything to do with the erection of these compartments or with other internal arrangements for preparing the Polling Booth.
In Towns or polulous places local Constables will be detailed for duty at the polling places up to 1pm, when they will be relieved by Constables on the Reserve, who will perform duty at polling places during the remainder of the day.
Superintendents will arrange for such men of the Reserve as may be detailed for the above duty to make the necessary declaration of secrecy before going on duty at the polling places.
The polling places will continue to be under the charge of a local Sergeant.
The object the Chief Constable has in relieving local Constables is so that they may be available for necessary patrol duty in the evenings.
Reserves will be divided into three portions, one portion being always available for patrol duty and the other two Sections being on Reserve at the Police Station.
Patrols should be doubled i.e. One local Police Constable and one strange Police Constable working together, this especially refers after 3pm.
The hours of patrol will be:
From 9am to 12 noon
From 12 noon to 3pm
From 3pm to 6pm
From 6pm to 9pm
From 9pm to 12 midnight
Constables at polling places or on patrol duty will remain at their posts until relieved and a fixed place should be made at which they are to be relieved, after which they will immediately return and report themselves at the Police Station.
Superintendents will report to the Chief Constable on the 10th January 1910 a scheme based on the above Order and showing the details of arrangements made by Superintendents.
Superintendents will also report to the Chief Constable on 10th January 1910 a scheme based on the above Order showing the details of arrangements made by the Superintendents.
Superintendents will also report on the above date on the several points named in S.G.O. 304/00 and what arrangements have been made for supplying refreshments to Constables and Reserve in accordance with Para: 23 of the said S.G.O.
Where small Reserves, or the remainder of the Section, not detailed for duty are ordered to assemble at Police Stations in Villages at the above Elections to patrol such Villages, the time being divided between the number of men available.
In consequence of an attempt having been made to spoil votes in the ballot box at a recent Parliamentary Election by the conduct of a female (Suffragette) who gained admission to the Polling Place, the attention of Constables on duty at such places at the forthcoming Parliamentary Election will be specially drawn to the matter and they must be most careful to prevent any female entering the polling place without permission of the Presiding Officer first been obtained.

That: pursuant to Section 5 of the Cinematograph Act 1909 the powers and duties of the County Council under such Act be delegated
(a) In the case of Municipal Boroughs to the Councils of such Boroughs: and
(b) In the rest of the County to the Justices of the County in Petty Sessions:
And that the fees to be paid upon the granting of new licenses or transfers thereof be the maximum fees provided in Section 2(5) of the said Act.
The County Council have also resolved that in the event of any technical points arising wither reference to applications to the Justices in Petty Sessions for licenses under the Act particulars as to compliance with the Regulations of the Secretary of State or otherwise, and where the Justices are not satisfied with the expert evidence produced by the Applicants authority will be given to the Chief Constable to consult the County Architect or Chief Inspector of Weights and Measures thereon as the case may be.
It will be seen that it is intended that Applicants for Licenses should be responsible for producing to the Magistrates, at the time applications are being made, that buildings, appliances etc. ae capable of complying with the Act and the Regulations.
In the event of Superintendents receiving notices of applications for licenses they will make careful enquiries and forward such applications to the Chief Constable together with a report stating whether the buildings in respect of which the applications are to be made are suitable in all respects, and whether the provisions of the Act of Parliament and also the Regulations of the Secretary of State made thereunder, can be fully complied with; so that he may give orders as to whether it is desirable to call in the County Architect or Chief Inspector of Weights and Measures to test the building in which it is proposed to hold the entertainment.
Special attention is drawn to Section 4 of the Act and Superintendents are responsible for seeing that Police under the powers therein confirmed, visit premises where Cinematography, Exhibitions are about to be given for the purpose of ensuring that the requirements are strictly obeyed, reporting any infringement to the Chief Constable.
Results of application for Licenses will be reported to the Chief Constable and the period for which operative will be stated.

Constables hurt or Injured on Duty
The Chief Constable directs that whenever any member of the Force is hurt or injured on duty he will immediately report the details in writing to his Sergeant for transmission hrough the Superintendent of the Division to the Chief Constable.

Motor Car (International Circulation) Act 1909
An Order in Council dated 22nd April 1910 issued under the above Act came into operation on 1st May 1910.
The main object is to secure establishment of procedure which will enable motor cars to be driven without being subject to all formalities which at present impede the free circulation of cars from one Country to another.
Parts 11 and 111 introduce important changes in the law as regards Foreign Cars arriving in the United Kingdom from abroad.
The reference in the Order in Council to "Foreigh Cars" does not of course exclude cars of British manufacture re-entering the County under the same circumstances.
Licenses to drive will be issued by the Chief Customs and Excise Officer at the Port of Landing instead of by a Local Authority.
(b) The procession of an International Travelling Pass and of a driving license as above described relieves a person from the necessity of obtaining a License under Section 3 of Motor Car Act 1903.
(c ) In cases where under Section 1 of that Act a License must be produced when demanded by a Police Constable, both this driving License and the International Travelling Pass nust be produced.
In other respects (i.e. for purposes of disqualification suspension and endorsement) the driving License corresponds under the Motor Car Act.
In addition to the number plate of its own Nationality, the Motor Car must carry, fixed in a visible position on the back of the car, a distinctive oval plate displaying letter indicating that Nationality, which are as follows.

Constables regulating traffic on Highways
Referring to General Order 14/1910 and Memo to Superintendents dated 27th March 1910 the Chief Constable directs that Constable s on duty at Villages, cross roads and other dangerous olaces here vehicular traffic may require regulating, will, in addition to noting in their Memo Book the identification number of motor cars and also make an note of the time at which the cars pass them, as directed in G.O. 132/05 and Superintendents will impress upon Constables that their duty at the places named, especially at blind corners, is to prevent vehicles keep on their proper side of the road etc and not to be gossiping as the Chief Constable has seen Constables on several occasions recently when visits the County.
This under the present condition of things is an important duty.
The object of the Chief Constable in directing Constables to take the time of motor cars passing os s that the drivers of cars may notice that the tiem is taken and it may be an inducement for them not to drive beyoung the speed limit thinking that they are passing into or out of a Police "control"
Attention is drawn again to General order 14/09 and in some Divisions the action of the police in carrying out the same has had good results, especially in the Town of Northwich and Middlewich, but in rural districts generally the Police have done but little to try and improve matters or the public have not heeded their advice.
