One of Bow Street’s most active runners aided a serjeant major in detaining a grenadier after a parade at the Horse Guards. He disclosed the offender’s name and claimed evidence at the Public Office to convict him. The serjeant urged restraint, promising to deliver the man to Bow Street, and the grenade was later brought before Sir Sampson Wright for a 40s reward.
