Red-breasts Bow Street runners, who wore a scarlet waistcoat.
"The Bow Street runners ceased out of the land soon after the introduction of the new police. I remember them very well as standing about the door of the office in Bow Street. They had no other uniform than a blue dress-coat, brass buttons ... and a bright red cloth waistcoat ... The slang name for them was `Red-breasts."'- Dickens: Letters, vol. ii. p. 178.
