Ah, police-constable Endacott, that ‘wretched man’ who caused so much mayhem and chaos in 1887 & 1888 that it is hard to credit that one man could virtually bring down the forces of law and order of the greatest nation on Earth by his crass and bent stupidity… but he did.
And he had the moral and official support of all the senior officers of Scotland Yard, and this regardless of his obvious stupidity and inherent corruptive influence on the force he served.
In particular he had the unswerving support of a certain Executive Superintendent Charles Henry Cutbush of Scotland Yard, who sat, day after day, in his defence at the farce that was the trial of Miss Cass to begin with and ended up as the trial of PC Endacott for perjury, for which he was acquitted, but by god he shouldn’t have been.
Let us follow this ‘wretched man’s’ path of stupidity through the course of 1887 & 1888 and see if it can swerve our point of view concerning the corruptive morals of the Metropolitan police force in 1888.
At the height of the Miss Cass fiasco - the so-called whore arrested by PC Endicott - this constable was in court twice in 1887 for other similar offences, where he had grabbed the arms of innocent women and charged them as common prostitutes, then the twat goes on to arrest a Mr Pole for assaulting his good self - an obvious set-up - and then the Socialists and Catholics come streaming into Trafalgar Square, because Mr Pole is an eminent socialist and Catholic activist.
Uncle Charles does his best at beating Fenian and socialist heads but the crowds keep coming, and we eventually have the famous riots.
Sir Charles Warren reinstates this absolute buggar on full pay.
Parliament moves to recover the costs of Endacott’s various trials for perjury.
You say to yourself how many times must the fhit hit the san!?
The sod is in court every single month for perjury, and still uncle Charles and Sir Charles Warren support him.
Mr Pole has his sentence reduced to a walking distance, but Endacott remains on full pay to feel up the arms of ‘whores’ in Whitechapel in 1888.
A job for the Seaside Home I feel.
No wonder Jack the Gripper never got caught!
I think I need to go to the Seaside Home for a while.
