Chief Constables Office, Aylesbury, 10th September 1903
Police Constable 112 William C. Williams is severely reprimanded for not having arrested at Hambelden, on the 29th August last, a man who was dressed in the uniform of the 11th Hussars with whom he had been speaking, and of whom he had just received information that he was wanted on a charge of fraud. This Constables length of service and experience should have enabled him to have shewn more ability in acting.
Sig.d Otway Mayne Major, Chief Constable
(In respect of the severe reprimand mentioned below, family legend suggests that the Hussar mentioned, had returned from the Boer war, and had fraudulently travelled on the train in order to get home to his family, so he used his own discretion. Apparently, according to our Grandmother, if my Grandfather caught a poacher, or kids scrumping apples, if they came from a poor hungry family, he would not take formal action}. This was mentioned in an e-mail from his grandson John Williams.)
