HO 61/9; cartoon
 
  HO 61/9; this cartoon, from 1833, is clearly very hostile to the new police and to those who wanted the force set up.
 
Hints
 

Source 4: What kinds of people does the cartoonist show as having joined the police?
Read what the sergeant says: what does the cartoonist say about those who set up the police? About the way the police behave?
