Simon, thanks for this.
It shows that Littlechild retired from the police in 1893, but I sometimes wonder whether he did?
In the New York Times of October 1897 there is a report on the arrest of a certain Solomon Berg, at the time on the St Louis heading for New York, and wanted for crimes in London, and the arresting detectives ask the judge to hold his gavel as they await information from, and I quote: 'Inspector Littlechild of the Scotland Yard bureau in London.'
Shurely shome mishtake?
