A strange correlation to make a point? "Berkhampstead is the only town in the county of Herts., where there is a school board, and some of the inhabitants are proud of the fact. It is also the place where there is more police business than any other in the county. There were 106 cases during the last quarter before the magistrates; and at Hertford, where the inhabitants are so stupid, so ignorant, and so unenlightened as to refuse to have a school board - although it is the county town, and ought to set an example to other places in the shire, there were only thirty-six police cases during the same time." (Luton Times and Advertiser, Nov 1871).
