- A collection of seventeen broadsides and one document "Rule and Regulations" that trace the proposal, founding, and business of the Tottenham Park Association. Most of the notices offer rewards for the recovery of stolen property, such as livestock, a set of curtains, a gate and a fence, apprehending offenders and removing "gipsies or other vagrants from the parishes." The other broadsides relate to the governance of the association
- Description:
- The Tottenham Park Association for the Protection of Persons and Property, and for the Prosecution of Felons and other Offenders, was one of several private associations, formed between 1780-1850, "made up of local property-owners, who came together to form an organization and raise a fund in order to find, arrest, and prosecute, at common expense, offenders against themselves and their property" (Philips). These associations went into decline beginning with the establishment of the Metropolitan Police in 1829, the passing of the 1839 Rural Police Act, and finally the County and Borough Police Act of 1856, which made it compulsory for all counties to have a police force.
