HC Deb 21 July 1887 vol 317 c1626
MR. PICKERSGILL (Bethnal Green, S.W.)

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether his attention has been drawn to the report of a case heard on Tuesday last at Worship Street Police Court, in the course of which Mr. Bushby highly commended Police Constable 483 J for his successful efforts to rescue a woman from drowning; and, whether he will take care that the gallantry of this constable shall be suitably acknowledged?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)

This is one of many similar cases. The police constable has already been recommended for a reward, which will be granted by the Commissioners in the usual way. His case will also be brought before the Humane Society, and the matter published in Police Orders.
