INSTRUCTIONS TO VOLUNTEERS
When arrested and taken to Cannon Row or other Police Station, you will, after an interval, be bailed out and then return to your home or hostess.
In the morning you should surrender at the time mentioned on your charge sheet, at the Police Court, bringing with you a bag packed with everything you are likely to need during your imprisonment.
