Clerk informs Frampton that 'in pursuance of directions which I have received from [Home Secretary] Sir R. Peel I have ordered James Ellis one of the Bow Street Officers to proceed to Dorchester tomorrow morning & to report himself to you immediately on his arrival to receive from you directions how he is to proceed to Lulworth &what course he should pursue while he resides there to avoid attracting any unnecessary notice. If after he has been there some time it should appear to the Comte de [Ponthieu?] or yourself that his presence is no longer required you will order Ellis to return to London, as it is desirable he should not be longer absent from his Duties here than is absolutely necessary.' In a postscript on the third page, signed 'G. C.', Clerk writes: 'I take the liberty of suggesting for your consideration whether it should not be expedient that Ellis should be sworn in by you as a Constable for the County of Dorset.' Note: The Bow Street Runners were gradually phased out (by 1839), upon the establishment of the Metropolitan Paolice in 1829.
