bomb
was also going over. The chief constable hurriedly stepped
back, swatting large blue flies from his face
and
inside his jacket.
There must have been several hundred of them
and
Icould see them
clinging in a solid mass to the inside of the window. The Chief was
not pleased. This was apparent to me without him voicing it to me in
the way he did. I felt sure
that
arequest for transfer would now be
my best solution if I wanted to progress in my career.
However, by the time the trial came on, the fleeces had been
treated
with
sheep dip
and
any remaining maggots
and
eggs killed.
The outcome was guilty of the alternative charge
and
a fine
of
£I 00
was imposed on my brash friend, £75 on his partner,
and
£25
and
three months' imprisonment on the shopkeeper. Hefty monetary
penalties in those days.
Incidentally Isoon got back to enjoying a nice mutton
chop
and
akindlier attitude on the
part
of the chief constable.
To the Editor
of
the POLICE
JOURNAL
Dear
Sir,
With
reference to the article in the
POLICE
JOURNAL
for
June
1968, con-
cerning extra-mural studies for police,
I
am
wondering
how
long the Univer-
sity
of
London
has been giving a
Certificate in Criminology.
I
took
acourse at Leeds, similar to
that
outlined at
the
University
of
London,
between 1957 and 1959,
and
after attending the requisite
number
of
classes, submitting written work
and taking
the
prescribed examina-
tions obtained acertificate from
the
University
of
Leeds.
Yours faithfully,
C.
PETER
WALKER.
