General Order No. 50 14th February 1907 Street Betting Act 1906 Referring to S.G.O. 8/07 the special attention of the Constabulary is drawn to the following: Section 1(1) Makes it a criminal offence to frequent or loiter in a street or public place the purpose of betting. The definition of "public place" is important. Though places used for horse racing are excluded by Section 2 from the preview of the Act on the days when horse races take place, it should be observed that this exception the expression "public place" is important. Though places used for horse racing are excluded by Section 2 from the preview of the Act on the days when horse races take place, it should be observed that this exception the expression "public place" includes not only excludes all unenclosed places to which the public have unrestricted access, but also all enclosed places to which the public have a restricted right of access, on payment or otherwise, provided that the owners or managers exhibit a notice neat the entrance or entrances, prohibiting betting therein. Any person frequenting or loitering in streets or public places, on behalf either of himself or any other person , for the purpose of book-making, or betting, or wagering, or agreeing to bet or wager, or paying, or receiving, or settling bets shall:- Section 1 (4) When such notices are exhibited at the public entrances to grounds that are being used for athletic sports, football matches or the like, the Police will be able to deal with all persons committing within the grounds the offence defined in Sub Section (1) in the same way as though it were committed on the street or public- parks. They can arrest without warrant and seize books, cards, or other articles relating to betting (Section 1 (2) that may be found in the offender's possession. The Chief Constable directs that with a view of ensuring a strict compliance with the provisions of the Act will, whenever Athletic Sports, coursing meetings, football matches and other similar gatherings are about to take place and at which betting may be expected, request the owners or persons having the control of the place to conspicuously exhibit at or near every public entrance to the ground a notice prohibiting betting therein, in order to enable the Police to deal with persons committing within the grounds the offence of betting under Section 1(1) of the above Act in the same way as though the offence were committed in a street or public place. In order to ensure uniformity Notices will be supplied from Head Quarters and, as occasion requires, a few will be handed to the owner, secretary or other responsible person in order that he may cause the same to be exhibited conspicuously at each entrance, but under no circumstances will this be done by the Police, as the Act of Parliament requires such to be done by" the owners or persons having the control of the place etc." In the event of the Police finding it necessary to exercise their powers of arrest under Section 2 of persons found committing offences against Section 1 the Chief Constable considers that after the Police have obtained possession of books, documents, betting- slips, etc. it may be advisable generally speaking, to admit the prisoner to bail rather than detain in the cells at Police Stations and where there is a no reason for acting to the contrary this will be adopted. Whenever the special services of the Police are applied for in connection with gatherings at which betting may take place, the request as to the exhibiting of Notices prohibiting betting must be made before Form F/7 is submitted to the Chief Constable and Superintendents when forwarding the said form to him will report whether the management have undertaken to post the notices referred to, and what arrangements Superintendents have made for the purpose of dealing with persons found committing offences against Section 1 of the Act. The Chief Constable being well aware of the mischief done by that form of betting at which the Act is aimed calls upon all ranks to energetically enforce its provisions, and suppress the evil of betting, in accordance with the intention of Parliament, as expressed in the Act. It will be remembered that the Act does not apply to any ground used for the purpose of a Race Course for racing with horses or adjacent thereto, on the dates on which races take place.

General Order No 150 16th May 1907 Postal Information The following addition information re above will be added to the printed Lists dated May 1892. Division Station Sundays South Wirral Ellesmere Port Letters despatched at 6pm General Order No 151 17th May 1907 Uniforms Act 1894 The attention of the Constabulary is drawn to the above Act of Parliament, the important sections of which are given below; " 2 (1) It shall not be lawful for any person "not serving in Her Majesty's Military Forces to "wear without Her Majesty's permission the Uniform "of any of those Forcer, or any dress having the "appearance or bearing any of the regimental "or other distinctive marks of any such Uniform "Provided that this enactment shall not prevent "(a) A member of a band from wearing at or "for the purpose of a public performance by a "band at any time within six years after "the passing of this Act any dress which at the passing of this Act is recognised Uniform "of the band, unless the dress is an enact "imitation of the Uniform of Her "Majesty' Military Forces: "(b) any person from wearing any Uniform "or dress in the course of a stage play performed "in a place duly licensed or authorised for " the public performance of stage plays, or in "the course of a music hall or circus "performance, or in the course of any bona fide "military representation". "2 if any person contravenes this Section "he shall be liable on summary conviction "to a fine not exceeding five pounds" "3 If any person not serving in Her Majesty's "Naval or Military Forces wears without Her "Majesty's permission the Uniform of ant of "those Forces, or dress having the appearance " or bearing any of the regimental or other "distinctive marks of any such Uniform in "such a manner or under such circumstances "as to be likely to bring contempt upon that "Uniform or employs any other person so as to "wear that Uniform or dress, he shall be "liable on summary to a fine "not exceeding ten pounds, or to imprisonment "for a term not exceeding one month". It having been brought to the knowledge of the Chief Constable that Military Uniforms have been worn on stage of certain theatres, music Halls and other places of public amusement and other places of public amusement and elsewhere in a manner derogatory to His Majesty's Service, and where incidents have been portrayed purporting to represent military life, but calculated to bring the uniform into contempt, and grossly at variance with the truth, he directs that the Constabulary will be as vigilant as possible in preventing any breach of this Act of Parliament, and where such comes under the notice of the Police the particulars will be reported to Superintendents for transmission to the Chief Constable. It will in many cases be inexpedient to take proceedings under The Uniforms Act in order to put a stop to such objectionable performances, if the object can be otherwise attained, and, as the main object is the prevention of scandal the best procedure, generally speaking, will be for Superintendents to make private representations to the persons responsible for the performance, with a view to its immediate withdrawal or modification. In cases, however, where the objectionable performance is continued in spite of private representatives or where the performance is especially scandalous particulars will be reported to the Chief Constable, who will consider whether proceedings must be taken. Where any such performance or representation has been introduced on licensed premises, and any difficulty has been experienced in securing its stoppage the Chief Constable directs that the matter be submitted to him with a view of reporting the particulars to the Licensing Authority when applications is made for renewal of license.
