  - Occupation Notes
    - After being a policeman in Shimpling, Samuel joined the Metropolitan Police 26.1.1874. He served as PC 357K at Mile End and at Arbour St, Stepney. Judging by the number of assaults on him recorded in The Times, [and Reynold’s Newspaper, 18.12.81] he seems to have had quite a vigorous career. On one occasion he received a cut over his left eye but the Bench had no sympathy - the medical students he arrested asserted that they had been hit from behind and the magistrate said that Samuel and his sidekick had exceeded their duty, and let the miscreants off. He crowned his career by having a finger bitten off in 1886 [Lloyd;’s Weekly, 18.4.86].
