That's about 150 years too late for Bow Street Runners, I 
believe.  Henry Fielding, the novelist and Magistrate, whose office 
was at No. 4 Bow Street, established the Runners in 1750 (there were 
only eight of them in the beginning),  His brother, John Fielding, 
succeeded him  in 1754, and refined them into the first truly 
effective police force for London.
