Mr Bumble had the post as "Beadle" to keep order at Oliver Twist's school in the Dickens novel.
"They called him Moshe the Beadle, as though he had never had a suranme in his life."
No I doubt whether it is rare, as my school has about 200 copies of The Beadle (we use it for our literature studies). I'm not shure about its availibility though.
