Joseph H. Armitage in Hunslet, Leeds - 1918, at night
from The Twenty-three years, or the late way of life, page 84:
A drunken man even if he was a nuisance could be dealt with, and even if he was belligerant [sic],well the arm of the law could deal with that as well, but a drunken woman was a different problem altogether. There were no Police Women then and if (as often happened) the lady in question either refused or was unable to co-operate, then the only solution was a handcart if no other conveyance was available.
