Poyntz Major and Chief Constable'. The volume is entirely in manuscript but is not in Poyntz's handwriting. It comprises 168 paginated pages followed by an eleven-page index giving a one-line summary of the 'Purport' of each order. The volume is a ruled notebook in original quarter binding of black cloth spine and marbled boards with the words 'GENERAL ORDERS' printed on a label on the cover with 'Rochford' written in manuscript beneath. Complete and entirely legible on aged and worn paper with a few loose leaves and shaken in heavily worn binding. A detailed and informative volume casting a fascinating light on Victorian provincial policing he entries reflecting the exacting standards of the chief constable. Subjects include procedure punishments pay registrations and promotions leave uniform 'Belts to be worn with Tunics and Great Coats' 'Winter and Summer Gloves' 'Parade in Uniform Boots' 'the length of the Constables hair' drinking on duty 'Gambling and raffling in Public and Beer Houses' transcriptions of letters from the Home Office the giving of testimony 'disused Mine Shafts' 'Boiler explosions'. The most significant entry relates to the murder of Inspector Thomas Simmonds: 'General Order 284 28th. January 1885 The Chief Constable has much gratification in promoting P.C. 107 Alfred Marden to a 1st. Class and at the same time a “Merit†Class Constable for gallant and meritorious Conduct in having on the 20th. instant at Hornchurch within the Liberty of Havering atte Bower after his Superior Officer Inspector Simmons had been struck down by a shot from a revolver fired by one of three armed Burglars whom they were about to search Continued the pursuit of two of these men by himself notwithstanding that while so doing two shots were discharged at him The Conduct of this young Office reflects high credit on himself and through him on the Essex Constabulary'. General Order 314 18 July 1885 reads: 'The Chief Constable directs that Superintendents and Officers in charge of Petty Sessions are to be very particular watching the manner that Constables give evidence when in the Witness Box. Nothing looks worse than its being given in an indistinct and hesitating manner and where such is apparent instruction and practice should be afforded the officer. A Constable must stand straight up at “attention†and not “fiddle about†with his hands in a nervous sort of manner. As putting on the right hand glove after taking the oath seems rather to unsettle some officers and as difficulty seems frequently to arise in replacing it that part of General Order No. 166 dated 15th October 1883 relating thereto is hereby Cancelled'. An example of 'Punishments' is issued 'for the information of Divisions' as General Order 291 23 February 1885: 'P.C. 92. G. Hurrell 1st. Class is – for having been found partially undressed and asleep in a hut while on duty at 2 A.M. on the 10th. instant and for making a false preort against his Inspector – dismissed from the Force P.C. 175 N. Paye 1st. Class 128 A. Whalley 2nd. Class and 138 A. Sweeting 3rd. Class are – for not using proper diligence to return to their Station at Greys when sent to London on duty thereby missing the train and remaining away all night – each fined half a days pay viz: Paye 1s11d Whalley 1s/8d and Sweeting 1s/7d This not being the first Case of the kind that has occurred the Chief Constable wishes it to be clearly understood that any similar neglect of duty will be severely dealt with.' Born in Dublin Poyntz joined the Royal Marine Light Infantry in 1853 and reached the rank of Major serving in Hong Kong China Japan and Woolwich. Chief Constable of Nottingham 1872-1881; and Chief Constable of Essex 1881-1887. For information on his career at Essex see Chapter 5 'Major Poyntz makes Changes 1881-87' of Maureen Scollan's 'Sworn to Serve: Police in Essex 1840-1990' 1993 according to which he put 'new ideas in action' and faced ' public order problems involving Salvation Army and Guy Fawkes festivities'. Under Poyntz 'officers of all ranks were reminded to call on important members of the community when they changed station' while Poyntz himself 'would often appear unannounced when cases were being heard by local justices and sometimes commented unfavourably on the way his officers gave their evidence' see G.O. 314 above. 'Major Poyntz was constantly reminding the superintendents of their responsibilities and their need to check everything from the renewal of pedlars' certificates to the health of their men. They were even ordered to inspect the drains'. [ Rochford, Essex Police Constabulary. ] Entries dated from the Chief Constable's Office, Chelmsford. 6 December 1881 to 30 Octo hardcover

Constable was born at Carnbee Fife son of the land steward to the Earl of Kellie. In 1788 Archibald was apprenticed to Peter Hill an Edinburgh bookseller based on the High Street south of the Mercat Cross. In 1795 Constable started in business for himself as a dealer in rare books taking a unit immediately opposite Peter Hill on the north side of the Mercat Cross. He was then living in a house in Calton village on the edge of Calton Hill. He bought the rights to publish the Scots Magazine in 1801 and John Leyden the orientalist became its editor. In 1800 Constable began the Farmer's Magazine and in November 1802 he issued the first number of the Edinburgh Review under the nominal editorship of Sydney Smith; Lord Jeffrey was however the guiding spirit of the review having as his associates Lord Brougham Sir Walter Scott Henry Hallam John Playfair and afterwards Lord Macaulay. In 1802 he published "Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border" by Walter Scott and continued a lifelong friendship with Scott from at least this point. Walter Scott was primarily an advocate and the Edinburgh courts were only 100m from Constable's shop. From at least 1809 his head clerk Robert Cadell had a financial interest in the firm and in 1811 he replaced Hunter of Blackness as a partner and from 1812 was sole partner with Constable. Constable made a new departure in publishing by the generosity of his terms to authors. Writers for the Edinburgh Review were paid at an unprecedented rate and Constable offered Scott 1000 guineas in advance for Marmion. In 1804 A. G. Hunter of Blackness joined Constable as partner bringing considerable capital into the firm which thereafter was styled Archibald Constable & Co. In 1805 jointly with Longman & Co. Constable published Scott's Lay of the Last Minstrel and in 1807 Marmion. He also published four of James Hogg's books The Mountain Bard 1807 The Shepherd's Guide 1807 The Forest Minstrel 1810 and Poetical Works 1822. In 1808 a split took place between Constable and Sir Walter Scott who transferred his business to the publishing firm of John Ballantyne & Co. for which he supplied most of the capital. In 1813 however a reconciliation took place. Ballantyne was in difficulties and Constable again became Scott's publisher a condition being that the firm of John Ballantyne & Co. should be wound up at an early date though Scott retained his interest in the printing business of James Ballantyne & Co. Around 1810 he bought a house at the head of Craigs Close nearby his shop. The premises was previously the house of William Creech and historically had been the home of Andro Hart. The printworks linked to this house seem to have been leased by Constable since around 1800. In 1808 he served as Moderator of the High Constables of Edinburgh. In 1812 Constable who had admitted Robert Cathcart and Robert Cadell as partners on Hunter's retirement purchased the copyright of the Encyclopædia Britannica adding the supplement 6 vols 1816-1824 to the 4th 5th and 6th editions. In 1814 he bought the copyright of Waverley. This was issued anonymously; but in a short time 12000 copies were disposed of Scott's other novels following in quick succession. The firm also published the Annual Register. Constable played a key role in the 1825 purchase of the Astorga Collection by the library of the Faculty of Advocates. The collection comprising 3716 pre-1800 volumes which ones belonged to Spain's 14th Marquis of Astorga is now held by the National Library of Scotland. Through over-speculation complications arose and in 1826 a financial crash occurred. Constable's London agents stopped payment leading to his failure for over £250000. James Ballantyne & Co. also went bankrupt owing nearly £90000. The collapse of both firms had a significant impact on Sir Walter Scott. Constable started business afresh and began in 1827 Constable's Miscellany of Original and Selected Works consisting of a series of original works and of standard books republished in a cheap form thus making one of the earliest and most famous attempts to popularize high-quality literature. Constable died of dropsy which had plagued him for several years at home 3 Park Place in Edinburgh on 21 July 1827 but his firm survived and the Constable publishing business continued in the twentieth century issuing a wide range of fiction and non-fiction books. It continues today as Constable & Robinson. Wikipedia hardcover
