Several were admitted to daily or committed as disorderly persons. John Wilson was charged with attempting to rob Robert King on the highway near Kensington. The prosecutor, attacked after a walk home, shouted murder, a publican and another man intervened, and Wilson was secured. A patrol later pursued a robber on the Epping Forest road who fled into the woods, where officers captured him after a short chase. Gerrard confessed thefts and was fully committed for trial.
