Henry Solomon

[6] An appeal to which Queen Victoria gave £50 (equivalent to £6,000 in 2023) raised a large sum for the welfare of his widow and nine children.

[2] Lawrence was found guilty of murder at Lewes Assizes and publicly hanged at Horsham.

Solomon is thought to be the only Chief Constable in the United Kingdom to have been murdered in his own police station.

[4][8] He is buried in the Florence Place Old Jewish Burial Ground in Brighton's Round Hill district,[9] where he has been considered to be the 'celebrity' grave.

[3] The inscription on Solomon's gravestone reads: 15 years chief officer of police / of the town of Brighton / who was brutally murdered / while in the public discharge / of the duties of his office / on the 14th day of March 1844 / in the fiftieth year of his age.
