A form of register, as suggested by the Home Office suitable for adoption, is enclosed herewith, and the Chief Constable directs that a copy of same will be handed to all persons by whom the Register is required to be kept; at the same time as such persons are being warned of the provisions of the Act.

All ranks should feel it a pleasure to take every reasonable opportunity of making known to such respectable persons who are likely to be desirous of aiding the funds the very great advantages that the Police and the Children of deceased comrades have already received, and continue to receive, by the existence of such an institution as this, and the urgent there now is for funds to erect a new Convalescent Home, owing to the fact that all the accommodation at the existing Orphanage and Home is required for the constantly increasing number of children. It will be distinctly understood that this appeal will be made only to such as there is reason to believe fully and recognise the value of Policemen, and appreciate their work, and who would in consequence gladly give a donation or subscription to this very worthy object, which so much concerns members of the Police Forces generally, and also the young children of those who are no more. As this is well known to all ranks, many members of the Constabulary have, after periods of serious illness, been sent for a sojourn at the Convalescence Home, and the Chief Constable has much pleasure in intimating that all have returned to duty greatly benefitted, and have reported that the kindness, attention and comfort etc. which they had received whilst at the Home was far beyond anything expected, and praised most highly the arrangements, some in fact suggesting that if the Constabulary recognises to the full great advantages to be obtained there to those broken in health, an Annual Subscription from the Cheshire Constabulary of a much higher amount than is now given would be the result. Four Children of late members of the Constabulary have been received into the Orphanage. Any member of the Force receiving sums of money on this Account will forthwith hand the same to the Inspector or Sergeant of the Section, who will at once enter the particulars in a Statement which must be kept at each Sectional Station. The form of the Statement will be as shown below, and a few sheets neatly choreographed will be furnished by Superintendents to each Section.

General Order No 399 23rd December 1904 Finger Print Impressions The Chief Constable draws the attention of all ranks to the value of finger prints which may at times be left by thieves when committing depredations, and in cases which have come to his knowledge finger prints found upon woodwork of doors and windows or on polished surface of cabinets, ward robes, chests of drawers, bottles, tumblers, silver or plated goods and candles have been the means of identifying and bringing thieves to justice, and their final conviction. It will therefore be seen how very necessary it is for a Constable investigating a robbery to search minutely for finger prints and if any such are found to be most particular in preventing the articles so marked from being handled by other persons, and in seeing that no other impressions are placed on the articles. Whenever finger prints are found and Superintendents are of the opinion that it is desirable to forward an article containing an impression or a photograph of such impression, for examination such will first be reported to the Chief Constable, and the article, if directed to be forwarded, will be carefully packed to avoid obliteration of the prints and sent direct to: The Registration of Habitual Criminals Finger Print Department New Scotland Yard London S. W General Order No. 400 23rd December 1904 Duty Scales & Severe Weather The Chief Constable directs that during the present severe weather, Constables who are performing six hours continuous night duty will be allowed fifteen minutes off duty, for the purpose of partaking of hot coffee at Police Stations and directly the weather breaks this indulgence will be discontinued. General Order No. 401 24th December 1904 Routes of Persons wanted etc Referring to the case of Henry Johnson alias George Burgess and Thomas Wilson, an ex- convict who was recently wanted for offences in two Divisions and who was able to mover about the County without being apprehended, notwithstanding that his description (somewhat in accurate) has been circulated by the two Divisions concerned and that special instructions had been issued from Head Quarters. The Chief Constable draws the attention of Superintendents to the necessity of being most particular in seeing that as accurate a description of the person wanted as can possibly be obtained entered in the Route, which should contain any particular marks or particularities which may be visible on the head, face or hands. On receipt of such routes the contents will be made known to the Constables, who will enter same in their memo books, and keep a sharp lookout for the person wanted. Special attention is drawn to the following paragraph printed on the back of Div. Form D/28. " Every Constable is expected to take it "for granted that persons wanted and property "described on information which may reach "them are in his district until he shall "have made every enquiry, and satisfied "himself that neither is on his own beat" If these instructions are judiciously and energetically carried out, it should be difficult for a person wanted to be able to remain in the County for any length of time without being arrested, provided that an accurate and good description is circulated. The Chief Constable takes this opportunity of calling the attention of the Force to the absolute necessity of all entries in Constable's Memorandum Books being carefully and accurately made.
