Album presented to Col. Henderson, Chief Commissioner of Metropolitan Police, 1870. 'A testimonial of respect was lately presented to Lieutenant-Colonel Henderson, Chief Commissioner of Metropolitan Police, by the officers of the convict service, with whom he had been associated in his former position as director of the penal establishments in West Australia. Their complimentary address, with the signatures of the subscribers, was inscribed in a handsome album, bound and decorated by Messrs. Ortner and Houle, of St. James's-street, the external design of which is shown in our Illustration. The centre displays the arms of Colonel Henderson, and the initial of his surname is in each corner; the ten shields, arranged in a circle, bear the names of as many different establishments - Millbank, Pentonville, Brixton, Chatham, and others, to which the persons joining in the address belong'. From "Illustrated London News, 1870.
