How many bow street runners and beedles were there in 1887?

In 1887, the Bow Street Runners, London's early police force, consisted of about 20 to 30 full-time officers. Beadles, who were local constables or parish officers, varied widely in number throughout London, with hundreds of them serving in different parishes. The exact number of beadles was not standardized, as they were appointed by local authorities rather than a centralized force.
