John Evans (deceased) of Gaywood, labourer, refused to assist Francis Chamberlain, constable of Gayton in keeping various rogues, vagabonds and other loose and disorderly persons in custody.

Some local associations were set up in towns and villages to maintain law and order in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The Ipswich Journal carries several reports about such groups in Suffolk and Essex. On 6 January 1810, for example, the Stratford Association offered a £10 reward for the prosecution of felons in the parishes of Stratford St Mary, East Bergholt, Higham, Holton and Raydon in Suffolk, and Dedham and Langham in Essex. Although this and other such societies carried on for many years, most handed the job over to the rural police forces once they were established in the mid 1800s.
