P.C. to report
Insp. Green reports at 12 pm Mrs Thos Lee at the Black Swan East Road sent her daughter and
a man to say that P.C.10 Ellis had been at their house near an hour, that he was very drunk
and insisted if they would not draw him some beer that he would go to the cellar and draw it
himself, they finding he would not go away called P.C. Rockett in who endeavoured to prevail
on him to leave but he would not till they let him have a pint - I went up directly Ellis was not
there nor could I find him on his beat, but from information given I waited about 10 minutes at
the end of Binders Row when I saw him come out of a prostitutes house there - a short time
before this he had been in another house of the same description in Wellington Row. I found
him drunk and unfit for duty and put P.C.14 on his beat - Mrs. Lee promised to complain of his
conduct next Committee day.
Written across this entry in the Superintendents writing: “At one ¼ am he came to the
Superintendent's house and knocked at the door most violently and said he was wanted at the
Station to see number 10 whom they said was drunk. He [was] told to go home as there was
no doubt about it. He then went away.
