Description

A letter sent in August 1894 from the Chief Constable's Office in Newtown to a police constable stationed at Llanidloes. He was directed to accompany the Royal Commission on Land in Wales and make himself 'obliging and generally useful' for 3/6d per day. The Commission held sittings in various towns to hear representations from landowners and tenants, so a policeman in 'Best clothing and helmet with spike' may have been a wise precaution.
