General Order No. 188 3rd June 1905 Telephones Night Bell Several cases having recently been brought to the notice of the Chief Constable where telephonic communication could not be established during night time, although night bells are attached to the telephone at each Police Station so connected in this County, directs that greater care will be exercised by occupiers of Police Stations in seeing that the night bell connection is made, in order that there may not be any delay in answering the call at night time, should one be made, General Order No. 189 3rd June 1905 Motor Car Act 1903 The Chief Constable thinks it possible that during Whitsuntide persons may be driving motor cars, motor tricycles and motor bicycles, without having first obtained a license, and he directs that Constables when on patrol duty will with a view of checking same, call upon drivers to produce their licenses in accordance with Section 3 (4) of the above Act. In the event of drivers being unable to do this particular will be reported to the Chief Constable in the usual way. It is not the Chief Constable's intention that the Police should stop every motor car seen on the roads but that a few of the drivers should occasionally be stopped for the purpose named herein. General Order No. 190 3rd June 1905 Motor Car Act 1903 As there appears to be different ways of testing the speed of Motor Cars in the County the Chief Constable directs that in future the following method will be adopted in timing Motor Cars with a view to ascertaining whether the speed limit if 20 miles per hour as laid down in Section 9 of the above Act is exceeded . A Constable must be posted at the starting point, who will directly the motor car or cycle has cut the starting point give the signal to the Sergeant posted at the finishing mark. The Sergeant the instant he receives the signal, will start the stop watch, and immediately the car cuts the finishing mark he will stop the watch. If it is found that the car is travelling beyond the speed limit the Sergeant will signal to the Constable stationed one or two hundred yards beyond the finishing point to stop the car. The Sergeant will then proceed to the car, take down particulars and if an offence has been committed, will warn the drivers of the offence that has been committed, will warn the driver that the case will be reported with a view to proceeding being taken. The Chief Constable also directs that when drivers of Motor Cars are found committing any offences against the above Act, Constables will if possible stop the cars and inform the drivers of the offence that has been committed, and of the fact that the case will be reported, in order that such drivers may know the nature of the offence at the time the same is committed. The practice of letting Motor Cars pass, whish in the opinion of a Constable has committed an offence, without so informing the driver, and then obtaining statements of evidence is objectionable. General Order No. 191 5th June 1905 Locomotive Act 1898 Referring to General Order 298/04 and 105/05 Mr Joseph Gray of Newton, has consent to draw with his Locomotive 6932 a living van in substitution for a water cart, in addition to the number of waggons allowed by the Act of 1898, which consent expires on 19th September 1905 unless sooner cancelled.

O. 179/98 and G.O. 354/02 have not been borne sufficiently borne in mind by the Police performing duty at Athletic Sports, Fete, Shows, etc. and that in consequence betting at these gatherings has again become somewhat prevalent. He therefor directs that Superintendents will let the matter have their special attention, and instruct Constables accordingly: They will see that more determination is shown by the Police on duty, in conjunction with the Secretary, or responsible Fete etc, to put down betting as the Chief Constable is convinced that the same is allowed much harm is done, and undesirable persons of low character are attracted into the County. As nearly every village has now Athletic Sports or something of the kind taking place annually it is all the more important to strictly carry out the instructions laid down. Superintendents themselves as far as practicable attend Sports and other similar gatherings as directed in Memo to Superintendents dated 31st July 1894, to see that the orders of the Chief Constable are obeyed. In submitting reports from those in charge that all has passed off quietly or otherwise, Superintendents will state whether they attended and also if so, whether there was any betting and the steps taken to prevent it. In may be done on all occasions he further directs that the Inspector, Sergeant or Constable in charge at such gatherings held in other Divisions in which the Fete will forward their report by first post direct to the Superintendent of the Division in which the Fete was held for submission to the Chief Constable. In the event of any bookmaker persisting un betting being warned, Superintendents will state when submitting reports whether proceedings are being taken, if not why?

General Order No. 398 23rd November 1905 Stockport Division Conveyance of Prisoners The Chief Constable has received a communication from the Prison Commissioners, Home Office, Whitehall dated 20th November 1905 intimating that from and after the 1st December 1905 prisoners committed by the County Magistrates at Stockport should be taken to His Majesty's Prison at Knutsford instead of Manchester, and the police will see that prisoners are escorted accordingly. General Order No. 399 25th November 1905 Heavy Motor Cars and Locomotives The Chief Constable intimates for the information of the Constabulary that the expression "Motor Car" means a vehicle propelled by mechanical power, and must be so constructed that no smoke or visible vapour is emitted therefrom except from any temporary or accidental cause, and the Local Government Board by letter dated 22nd May 1905 have expressed the opinion that a heavy motor car (i.e. Steam Waggon ) is only a special kind of car and that the Statutory definition of Motor Car fully applies to the "Heavy" kind except as regards weight. The Chief Constable has reason to believe that some of the heavy motor cars registered under the Motor Car Act 1903 and consequently carrying identification plates, when travelling along the highways in this County frequently emit smoke and visible vapour from other than temporary or accidental causes, and he directs that Constables will specially observe these heavy motor cars, and in the event of smoke or visible vapour being emitted they will be careful to note for how long the smoke escapes, in order that in the event of a prosecution evidence may be given as to the time such smoke or visible vapour was allowed to escape. One or other of the following are offences: 1. Using a locomotive without having first obtained a license for the same against the provisions of the Locomotive Act 1892. 2. Permitting smoke or visible vapour, as the case may be, to be emitted from a Registered Heavy Motor Car, excepting from a temporary or accidental cause, the penalty for which is provided in Section 7 of the Locomotives on Highway Act 1896. Section 30: of the Locomotive Act 1878 deals with the omission of smoke from Locomotives. General Order No. 400 25th November 1905 Political Meetings The attention of the Constabulary is drawn to paragraph 1 of S.G.O. 304/00 with reference to a sufficient number of Constables being on duty in close vicinity of places where Political Meetings are being held, and reports being forwarded to the Chief Constable. Superintendents will read the above S.G.O. carefully so as to instruct all ranks of their Divisions therein, and see that such are carried out as occasion may require.
