BOSBURY.
BOSBURY. REMOVAL OF P.C. EVANS.-On Wednesday morning at the conclusion of the business at Led- bury Police Court the members of the Here- fordshire Constabulary in the Petty Sessional Division of Ledbury, through Supt. Williams, presented to P.C. Douglas Evans a silver-mounted walking stick, suitably inscribed, as a parting gift on his removal from the Bosbury oiit-statioit., to Pontrilas, where he goes this week. P.C. Evans has been a member of the county police force for 15 years, and for just over 11 years of that time he has been stationed at Bosbury, where by his tact and common-sense methods he has become very popular with all classes. It is interesting to note that P. C. Evans is the possessor of two medals and seven bars gained in the South African War. At the outbreak of the war he was called up on the reserve and went out with the First Division. He served through the first part of the war and returned home. rejoining the county police force and marrying and settling down at Penbridge. He was called up a second time and went out to South Africa again, and came home at the conclusion of the war, when he was stationed at Bosbury, where he has been ever since. During the war he was at one time re- ported dead for three months—P.O. Evass will be succeeded at Bosbury by P.C. Campion, from Pontrilas.
