Police Station Needed at Conisborough

The numerous cases which are brought before the Magistrates at Doncaster every Saturday from Conisboro’, impress us that there is an urgent necessity for a Police Station at that place. The recent pocket picking case together with other affairs which have taken place in that locality give abundant proof that such a building is needful if not desirable. Supposing a prisoner is apprehended say at 10 or 11 o’clock at night, what is the policeman to do with him?

He must either take him to Doncaster as best he can on foot, or otherwise he is under the painful necessity of allowing him a night’s lodgings in his own house, if he has one. We hope the authorities will give this matter their serious consideration.
