Line 125:
 
Cheshire's second Chief Constable was Capt Arrowsmith, but because Capt Smith's widow was allowed to remain at Hoole Lodge, he resided at The Elms, which following the death of George Meakin was available to rent. Capt Arrowsmith attended the presentation made to Sgt Clarke in 1878, albeit being responsible for his move after 21 years.

No records have been found of his playing any part in local life; he was a controversial character, nepotism being alleged in some of his appointments. Capt Arrowsmith died suddenly in 1881, his funeral procession being similar to Capt Johnes Smith's with information that after crossing Hoole Bridge it turned left along Seller Street, passing the Police Headquarters before proceeding along Foregate Street en route to Overleigh Cemetery.
