HAD A BIG FORCE.
It is not generally known by the peo-
pie Of Manchester that about twenty
seven years ago this city had a police
force of eighteen men. The late slr.
Thomas Blunt was then Chief Of the
force. and he was succeeded by sir. Spen-
Ger n Hancock.
Tho force was gradually reduced in
numbers until there were only three pO-
licemen in the city. \ few years ago
fourth man was elected. and a short time
since the Council authorized the Police
Commissioners 20 put on another man.
but il has never been done. IL is i'm
possible for two men TO patrol the city
Of Manchester. IL covers great deal
of territory. and robbery Is bound 10 con-
tinue as long as il has such a small force.
