Abstract
Judging from the drafts of reports included in PC Henry Bendell’s notebook, he was quite a diligent policeman, but he met all sorts of people on his beat. One day in late 1888, for instance, he is dispersing a crowd that has assembled on Harrow Road after a row, when a woman by the name of Mrs Salmon approaches him: ‘The police are never here when they are wanted’, she remarks. Bendell curtly replies that he passed here 15 minutes ago, but the woman is adamant. ‘I shall report you’, she says. ‘Very good’, says Bendell.1
