  18. There may be an answer to that, well two answers really. It was a
    horrible job and you could get sacked and demoted very easily.

    Horrible, because of the conditions they were expected to work under.
    This is my understanding anyway - I have read the mid 19thC
    regulations for Roxburghshire in the original and picked up other
    stuff along the way by reading and general osmosis.

    Put out of your mind any idea of a policeman having status and
    respect. In the early years - the mid 19thC - they were subject to
    almost impossible regulations, walking around for hours with no food
    for instance - no nipping into a pie shop for lunch like these days.
    As far as the upper classes were concerned they were just another
    kind of servant.

    My ancestor Duncan McRae was supposed to be the 'father of the Bootle
    police". His records show he had to get permission to marry and there
    was a pattern of promotion and demotion that seems to have been
    fairly typical. He was dismissed for desertion in 1851 - family story
    was that he had refused to proceed against striking miners, which
    kind of fits with the record.

    There may also have been age restrictions as I believe my ancestor
    knocked a few years off his age to join in the first place.

    So my impression in general is that quite a lot of men in around
    1840-60 had a bash at being policeman and either got sick of the
    regulations or got sacked.
