Dismissed |
Note: There is no Discipline Book for the area that Moses was serving in, lodged with the County Record Office in Maidstone, so I cannot find out why Moses was dismissed. The going rate for a full Police Pension after 25 years Service was around £45 per annum. Moses of course never received this because of his dismissal.
