The History of truncheons: The Bermondsey truncheon illustrated pl.6, No.1; The Westminster truncheon pl. 21, No.5. The author discusses the role of Special Constables and believes the Bermondsey truncheon could have been issued for the Spa Field Riots of 1816. He recorded it as the longest truncheon he had seen (as opposed to a staff which has no handle)
