Mr. Westcombe: Didn’t Justice apply? He has been in the force and nothing is known against him. If we can appoint one of our men, I think it is desirable as affording the stimulus of reward to men who do their duty.
The Mayor: Justice is disqualified by age; and having got into sad reproach by having altered the terms of an advertisement in a former case. I don’t think I can take upon myself such a responsibility just at present. |

Pc Justice appears to have been an army veteran and, although it is not clearly documented, it seems that he sustained wounds prior to joining the Police.
The council awarded him a pension of 10/6d per week, but he died the following year (1874) aged 53, so did not enjoy it for long.
