Rowlands Nantwich Division is disrated from �1. 6. 10 per week to �1.6. 3 per week from 8th January 1911 for;- Being drunk when on duty at Nnatwich on 26th December 1910: General Order No. 7 9th January 1911 Cheap Trains Act 1883 Soldiers & Sailors At the request of the Secretary of State for the Home Department the Chief Constable draws the attention of the Force to the fact that in cases where Naval or Military Deserters travel by rail in the custody of Police adbantage not always taken of the provisions of Section 6 (1) of the above Act, by which members of His Forces are entitled to travel at three quarters of the ordinary charged, provided that they are properly entered on the Railway Warrant. He therefore directs that when Constables are escorting by Railway either Soldiers of Sailors, whether or not they are wearing His Majesty's uniform, they will enter them on the same Railway Warrant as the Escort himself on the second line immediately under "Constables" the word "do" and "Wives" being struck out and the following entered; "Private Soldier" or "Sailor" as the case may be. The attention of the Force is also drawn to the case of Sailors on leave who unable to return to their Ships because they have lost their return tickets and have no means of their own to pay the fare. Unless there is a convenient Naval Recruitment Station or Coast Guard Station to which the man can apply for the Travelling Warrant his only resource is to write to his superior Officer, to which there is considerable objection and it is believed that numerous desertions from the Navy occur every year though Sailors on leave losing their tickets and being without the means for returning to their Ships. The Railway Companies have been consulted on this matter and have consented to accept travelling Warrants issued by the Police. It has therefore been suggested that any Sailor without a Return ticket should apply personally and in uniform to the nearest Police Station, if there is no Naval Recruiting Office or Coastguard Station in the neighbourhood. In the event of such application being made the Sailor should be called upon to produce his leave ticket, which would as a rule sufficiently establish his bona fides and a Police Railway Station Warrant will be issued to him as "an adult at the ordinary fare". Should be there any doubt as to the man's bona fides or should he have lost his ticket as well as his Railway ticket the Police Officer in charge of the Station at which the application is made will telegraph to the Commanding Officer of the man's ship enquiring as to his identity, and on receipt of a satisfactory reply a Police Railway Warrant will be issued. The Police should accompany him to the Aailway Station present the Railway Warrant, pay the fare and see him on the train.Cash equivalent to the Railway fare will not be given to the Sailor. A report will be made to the Superintendent of the Division giving full particulars as to the name of the man, the Ship to which he belongs etc and also the amount of money paid for the ticket, telegram etc, and upon receipt of same the Superintendent will, by enxt post communicate the information to the Commanding Officer of the Ship claiming payment of all expenses incurred, and when received hand same to the Inspector or Sergeant who advanced it. It will be understood that no charge in respect of this matter will be entered in Police Accounts. All communications sent by members of the Force to the Admiralty with regard to Naval deserters will be addressed to the Secretary to the Admiralty, and not to the First Lord as trouble is caused by such reports being addressed to the latter. General Order No. 8 10th January 1911 Assizes and Quarter Sessions Interference with Jurymen The Chief Constable 's attention having been called to recent cases in which attention in which attempts have been made by the friends of a defendant to interfere with Jurymen during the adjournment of a criminal, he is of the opinion that it is desirable to call the attention of the Constabulary to the possibility of similar offencesbeing made in other cases and he directs that whatever Constables attending Assizes or Quarter Sessions have any good reason to suspect that such interference will be, or has been made to influence the Jury, they will at once report same to the senior Officer present at the Court in order that if he thinks it necessary he may communicate particulars to the Judge or Chairman, afterwards reporting the circumstances to the Chief Constable.

Under Section 1 A Suprtintendent Edward Charles Hicks Broxton Division: Pension of � 133. 6. 8 per annum General Order No. 17 23rd January 1911 Previous Convictions The attention of Superintendents is drawn to General Order 18/1888 directing that the previffous conviction books will contain the names of persons who for any offences appear a second time before the Justices and with reference thereto, the Chief Constable points out that whover has charge of the Summons or Charge Sheet before going into Court should have ascertained so far as the Police Records permit, what is known of the prisoner or defendant and in the case of prosecution by a private individual or or Association the Officer in charge of the Court should be in a position, after a conviction, to give any particulars to the Justices whether for or against the prisoner of defendant. In cases in which a prisoner or defendant os not represented by a Solicitor, Superintendents will remember tht it becomes the duty of the Police to inform th Magistrates when the case is being ehard of everything that can be said in the defendants favour. General Order No. 18 25th January 1911 Lads discharged from the Borstal Institutions At the request of the Secretary of State for the Home Department the Chief Constable draws the attention of the Force to the fact that from time to time it happens that lads who have been recently, or still are under the care of the Borstal Association, afer discharge from a Borstal Institution, have for one reason or another unexpectedly lost their work ashore or on board ship, and have taken to the road without moneyn an attempt to walk to the Office of the Borstal Association (15 Buckingham Street, Strand WC) or to reach home. Some of theselads have been arrested on the way home for begging or for some other trivial offence and have been imprisoned. In some of these cases the Borstal Asscoition would have been quite ready to afford further help if they had known the circumstances in time and in order that they may have an opportunity to do so, they suggest that if any lad comes to the police stating that he has been discharged from a Borstal Institution within a reasonable time past, the police might if they see no special reason to doubt his statement render assistance by providing him with board and lodgings for the night or in some other way. In such cases they should at once communicate with the Borstal Association by telegram. The association would then in proper cases be able to afford some further assistance and would in any case refund any reasonable expenses incurred by the Police. Borstal lads would be tole beforehand that if they find themselves without money and in circumstances that prevent them applying for help direct to the Borstal Association, they should go to the nearest Police Station. The Secretary of State thinks that if this is carried out it will be likely in certain cases to prevent the undoing of the good results affected by the Borstal lads on their discharge. The Chief Constable therefore directs that in the event of such application being made and the Police having no reason to doubt the statement of the applicant the Inspector or Sergeant in charge of the Police Station will at once telegraph the Borstal Association, (Telegraphic address "Borstal London) giving shortly the particulars of the case ad upon receipt of a reply will carry out the wishes of the Association. A full report will then be made to the Superintendent of the Division, giving name of the lad etc. also list of all expenses incurred and upon receipt of same the Superintendent will, by the next post, communicate the information to the Honorary Director Borstal Association, 15 Buckinhgam Street, Strand WC claiming payment of all expenses incurred, and when received hand same to the Inspector or Sergeant who advanced it. It will be understood that no charge in respect to this matter will be entered in the Police Accounts. General Order No. 19 26th January 1911 Duty Scales - Rural Beats The Chief Constable directs that from 1st February 1911 Duty Scale "A" will be worked by all Divisions. In the event of Superintendents considering it necessary to in any way alter the Duty Scale in consequence of any local occurrence they will do so and report cause to the Chief Constable General Order No. 20 27th January 1911 First Aid to the Injured The attention of Superintendents is drawn to General Order 29/90 that two hours on the day of attending lectures will be allowed off the day duty of those Constables whose attendance at lectures in the above subject has been specially sanctioned by the Chief Constable.

General Order 35 17th February 1911 Children Act 1908 The special attention of the Constabulary is drawn to the following paragraph of a circular letter dated Home Office Whitehall 13th March 1919 "by Section 114 a Court may where a child or young person is " called as a witness in proceedings in relation to an offence " against or any conduct contrary to decency or morality, direct " that all person not directly concerned in the case are to be excluded "from the Court. It appears to The Secretary of State that it is very "desirable that when a girl is to give evidence in cases relating to " indecency or immorality, a woman of good character should " always be present in Court: and where therefore there is any " doubt whether a witness in a case of this sort will be " accompanied by her mother or other female relatives or friend, " arrangements should be made for the Police Matron to be in " attendance". The Chief Constable directs that when a girl under 16 years of age is to give evidence in a case of the nature referred to, ,e,bers of the Constabulary in charge of any Court will invariably make arrangements for the witness to be accompanied by her mother or by some female relative or friend, or if such are not forthcoming they will arrange for the attendance of a woman of good character, who should be accommodated with a special seat close by the witness when the latter is under Examination.

General Order 38 22nd February 1911 Consumption of Gas at Police Stations The Chief Constable has observed that there has been a considerable increase in the consumption of gas at some Police Stations in the County and he directs that occupiers of Stations generally will exercise care in seeing that there is no waste of gas. Some of the explainations which have been received as to the increased consumption state that the same is owing to leakages and with reference to the Chief Constabconsiders that any defects would be immediately discovered if Gas Complaints were asked to test the meters say twice a year, this, as a rule is done free of cost and Superintendents should give the matter their attention. Attention is drawn to General orders 61/01, 33/95 and 369/94 with reference to the occupiers being present when the representative of the Gas Company takes the index of the meter, in order that they may that the figures which subsequently entered in the account are correct. The above is a matter which the Chief Constable wishes Superintendents to bear in mind in order when visiting Stations etc to prevent any waste of gas.

General Order 40 24th February 1911 Coal and Coke for Consumption at Police Stations In examining the Returns recently sent by Superintendents showing the amount which has in the past been paid for the above and that which is proposed to pay in the future, the Chief Constable observes that good coal can be obtained at the following places at the prices as follows; Oakmere @ 16/3 per ton Crewe @ 16/8 per ton Frodsham and Tarporley '17/- per ton Northwich, Cheadle, Marple & Bredbury @17s/- 6d per ton Lymm @ 17/-11- per ton The above figures may therefore be considered as fair average prices in both Town and County Districts. The Chief Constable directs in order to prevent as far as possible the question of the cost of coal being again raised at any future meeting of the Standing Joint Committee that Superintendents will arrange for coal required at all Police Stations and Magistrates Rooms, to be obtained at a price including delivery and housing of not exceeding 17s/-6d per ton, at which amount no difficulty need be anticipated in obtaining fuel of a sufficiently good quality for use in the public rooms at Police Stations must be understood that at those places where good coal can be at less than 17s/-6d obtained at less than 17s/- 6d per ton.Suprintendents will see that such is procured at the lower figure. As regards Coke the prices quoted including delivery and housing varies from 12s/-6d to 18s/- 4 per ton owing no doubt to the output at local Gas Works and also to the distance of some Police Stations from such Works Depots etc. The Chief Constable thinks there may be a difficulty if he lays down a fixed price to be paid for this fuel, but he wishes Superintendents themselves to take steps to see that Coke is always obtained at as reasonable a price as possible, bearing in mind that generally speaking the inclusive cost per ton should not exceed 15s/- except perhaps at very few places while at others the price is considerably under that amount.

Attention is drawn to Memo to Superintendents dated 13th May 1911 arisi It must be understood that if anything important arises in Rural Districts requiring Police attention, the Constables on "Special Service" duty, must if it is necessary at once attend to same and such Constables will be warned accordingly. Flags at Police Stations The flags at Police Stations will be hoisted at Sunrise on Thursday 22nd June 1911 and Friday 23rd June 1911 and taken down at 9pm each date. Warning House-holders In consequence of the large number of Constables that will be required for police Duty in connection with the abovethe ordinary Police patrol must of necessity be weakened to a certain extent owing to Constables being engaged in giving Police supervision and protection to the public attending the Festivitis etc. Superintendents will therefore take an opportunity after 15th June 1911 to cause house-holders to be warned according with a view to themselves taking precautionary measures and so arranging that their houses will not be left without some one in charge. Processions and Public Festivities Superintendents will ascertain what festivities etc are to be held within their respective Divisions, routes of processions ect, and places of entertainment, school children's fete's festivities position of bonfires, and report on 12th June 1911 on the accompanying form of order and the protection of life and property. It must be understood that Superintendents or othe members of the Constabulary are not to marshal processions or take part whatever in such processions as there will be plenty of work for the Police to do on the occasion referred to, in properly regulating traffic and other Police duties, so as to prevent accidents and protect life and property, and the Police on duty will take great care to see that the routes along which processions pass are kept clear, more particulary as regards processions of school children who would be easily liable to inury should there be any undue crush. The public and especially children who are on lookers should be warned against standing at corners or where streets meet, for in such places the crush and rushes are likely to lead to danger. It appears to the Chief Constable that the whole of the Constables in Town Beats will be required to be on duty at Festivals etc and on patrol duty in the streets protect life and property, prevent robberies, regulate traffic etc, and Superintendents are authorised to employ Constables on extra hours duty over and above the usual Duty allowance will be granted in accordance with S.G.O. 271/ 90. Superintendents will arrange as far as poaaible for Constables on Rural Beats to be on duty on the routes and in the immediate vicinity of places where village fetes, festivity etc are to be held so as to clear the lines of prosessions and prevent any disturbance or interference by any ill conditioned people.

Temporary Structures Decorations etc The Police will take special notice of any temporary structures which may be erected with a view to ensuring the safety of the public using or passing by them.

Licensed Houses Extension of Hours The Chief Constable deprecates the granting of any extension of hours for the opening of licensed premises on the days set part for celebrations of His Majesty's Coronation, as he considers tht it is in the best interest of the public that there should not be any extension of drinking facilities on these days and it is alos in the interest of the Police that there should not be unnecessary increase in places which require extra supervision on their part. The matter is of course one for the Justices to decide, but in the event fo any application being made for an extension of hours the Chief Constable direct that his opinion, and reasons for same , as expressed in this General Order will be clarly made known to the Justices by Superintendents at the time the applications are beign considered.

The Chief Constable takes the opportunity of now stating clearly that the concession about to be granted to the Force, is so granted to enable men as far as possible to rest one day in fourteen but it is not to be considered that if special or important circumstances arise, every man has a right to this extra day off, or that the services of any and every man cannot at all times be claimed by the County. All members of the Force who are enjoying the Rest Day must if in the County of Chester, pay attention to any reports or complaints made to them and immediately take such Police action as may be necessary. The rest day for each man, will be fixed by the Superintendent of the Division and will not be alterable by the man or accumulative. There is no objection to members of the Force occasionally say once in each Month, leaving the vicinity of their residence on the Rest Day provided that they notify beforehand the probable time of their departure and return so tht the Suprintendent may have knowledge whre each man is, and may may be satisfied that the police Service (especially the individual man's next tour of duty) will not suffer, but the Chief Constable again impresses on all members of the Force that the intention of the new scheme is to give each man a certain number of days rest and this being so the Standing Joint Committee have not altered the annual holiday during which men have full opportunity of leaving home. There is n o doubt that the grant of annual leve will be prejudiced if men are found to ignore the terms under which the Rest Day is granted.
