In 1750 Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people to stop

Fifty years later there were 120 Bow Runners but London had become

Most of them were working on foot but a few rode horses. Until
1920 all the police in London were men.
Today London police are quite well paid and for the few police officers
who still ride horses the pay is even better than for the others.
