1861 "Too late".
Sorry about that, but "Probably too late" should have been said.
PhilipG proved that Dickens had been a "special constable" at least as early as 1848.
In the 1860s he was getting on.
The Bridewell was built in 1860-1, and opened in 1861.
That has been proved.
Are you going to say I've been to the Taj Mahal simply because it existed during my lifetime?
Looks like I have to do some research. I believe fully that Dickens became a constable. Would he have to be young Quentin, he was a 'special' so maybe not. This gets better and better!!! Can't do it now as I have been invited again to the Hamptons, very short notice as it is tomorrow till Thurs. I need to decide what to take and pack.
