Does anyone know the exact wording of the caution that police officers in 1888 would've used when arresting an offender? Was there one? Or would it have been something along the lines of 'you're bleedin' nicked, Sunshine'?

Just,
Judges Rules were set up in 1912 and I think thats where the original caution dates from. The caution has gone through various changes over the years, latest being in the Mid 90s...God bless PACE
Prior to that date of 1912, I think different areas had differing procedures but essentially said the same thing along the lines of "You do not have to say anything, but anything you do say will be taken down in writing and may be used in evidence against you."
Dont quote me on that though.
