TITLE: |
Letter from Major Thomas Powell, inspector general of the Leinster constabulary,concerning a number of outrages in the barony of Kilkenny West, County Westmeath |
SCOPE & CONTENT: |
Letter from Major Thomas Powell, inspector general of the Leinster constabulary, Mullingar, County Westmeath, to Henry Goulburn, Chief Secretary, Dublin Castle, reflecting on the state of unruliness now present in some districts of County Westmeath. Notes that some offenders are already apprehended in that jurisdiction and calls attention to the utility of the magistrates taking a more pivotal role in suggesting the reapportionment of police manpower. Encloses letter from S Alworthy, chief constable of the barony of Kilkenny West, Moate, County Westmeath, to Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Toler Osborne, chief constable and pay clerk of police, [County Westmeath], reporting an attack on the property of Mr Dunnecan [Duncan] of Littletown, during which a number of workmen were beaten on account of not being of local origin. He also describes an attack on the dwelling of James Lynam of the townland of Baskin by the Whiteboys during which several windows were smashed and a gunshot discharged at the owner, whom they subsequently ‘knocked down & beat’. A threatening notice was also issued to one of Lynam’s tenants, who is addressed as the ‘Conaught Ragman [sic]’ ordering him as a vagrant to depart from the employment of Lynam; failure to comply, it continues, will bring the ferocity of a ‘hungry Lyon [sic]’ upon himself and his family, signed by Captain ‘Fearnot’ [also enclosed]. Alworthy further refers to a fierce assault on James Hughes of the townland of Waterstown, an outrage likely motivated on account of the victim being a stranger from the northern part of Ireland; states that two individual were arrested by the police [likely returning from the scene of the attack on Hughes], one of whom had a loaded pistol in his possession and the other a prayer book [associated with administrating unlawful oaths]. |

TITLE: |
Letter from Major Thomas Powell, inspector general of the Leinster constabulary, County Dublin, reporting on breaches in law and order in counties Westmeath and Longford |
SCOPE & CONTENT: |
Letter from Major Thomas Powell, inspector general of the Leinster constabulary, Corkagh, Rathcoole, County Dublin, to Henry Goulburn, Chief Secretary, Dublin Castle, reporting on a tour of inspection of the area under his jurisdiction. He reflects upon ‘a great improvement…in the habits, appearance and conduct of the Constables’ over the past 6 months, and is encouraged by the appearance of good crops [though not potatoes] and a general sense of industry throughout the land. As to the imposition of law and order, he reports, a slightly larger that average return of petty offences in County Wexford. Meanwhile, in counties Westmeath and Longford, he regrets the failure of the courts to convict those accused of destroying property; such a state of affairs, he believes is due primarily to the force of intimidation being resorted to by the Rockites. Outrage and a decidedly insurrectionary spirit, he notes, is present in an area encompassing parts of counties Westmeath and Longford [the barony of Rathconrath]; nonetheless, he reports, the capture of ‘a notorious leader’ who had earlier ‘robbed and set fire to an man’s house’. The subjects of the attacks, he detects, are chiefly those who had taken land on which tenants were earlier expelled; those employing men from outside the district and two against Protestant who had previously acted in the service of the yeomanry. He also expresses his inclination towards having constables of native origin in the barony removed, on account of the risk of negative influence, but admits he has some opposition [from the magistrates] on this front. |

TITLE: |
Letter from Major Thomas Powell, inspector general of the Leinster constabulary,concerning a complaint against three constables of Carbury, County Kildare, following a confrontation with a Newfoundland dog |
SCOPE & CONTENT: |
Letter from Major Thomas Powell, inspector general of the Leinster constabulary, Corkagh, Rathcoole, County Dublin, to Henry Goulburn, Chief Secretary, Dublin Castle, reporting on an investigation of the conduct of three police constables of Carbury, County Kildare, who are accused of misconduct by Edward Southwell Ruthvin and Edward Ruthvin. Comments upon the formal investigation of the complaint relating to an incident with a dog and recommends the constables be transferred to a different station ‘to prevent further altercation’, 26 July 1825. Encloses affidavit from ES Ruthvin and E Ruthvin of Newberry, County Kildare, in which they allege the policemen put their lives at risk by pointing loaded weapons at a chasing dog; they further allege that ‘threatening language’ was resorted to and a warning was issued that the dog would be shot if he were again found on a public road, 9 July 1825. Also encloses copy of proceedings of investigation by the magistrates of Johnstown over the alleged unsafe use of firearms and use of offensive language by the policemen [Seal, Burby and Shirley] of Carbury, following their confrontation with a Newfoundland dog on the Newberry Demesne. The magistrates conclude the constables ‘acted with strict propriety in defending themselves from the attack of the Dog’ and any strong language made use of was directed against the dog, not at Ruthvin; in view of the evidence, they declare the charge is ‘without foundation’, 20 July 1825. |
