CSO/RP/SC/1825/361

TITLE:

Letter from Samuel Potter, Spadacini’s Hotel, Dublin, warning of a proposed procession by the orangemen of counties Leitrim and Cavan on the 12th of July

SCOPE & CONTENT:

Letter from Samuel Potter, Spadacini’s Hotel, 34 College Green, Dublin, to William H Gregory, Under Secretary of Ireland, Dublin Castle, enclosing a letter for the attention of Richard Wellesley, 1st Marquis Wellesley, Lord Lieutenant, warning of a proposed procession by the orangemen of counties Leitrim and Cavan on the 12th of July. As someone who previously occupied an ‘official situation in the orange society’ he claims he has made every effort to promote the aims of the Unlawful Societies [Ireland] Act, insofar as it relates to the suppression of orange lodges in Ireland. Expresses his regret at the poor precedent set by the magistrates at Carrigallen who failed to take effective action to curtail a parade of the freemasons on 24th of June. However, he accepts that Mr Godley, a magistrate of County Leitrim, has gone to some lengths to communicate to the orangemen the illegality and impropriety of marching in public.

TITLE:

Letter from the magistrates of the Head Office of Police, Dublin, relaying the report of Michael Farrell, chief constable of police, on the murder of Michael Wogan near Tallagh in County Dublin

SCOPE & CONTENT:

Letter from the chief magistrates, head office of police, Dublin, to William H Gregory, Under Secretary of Ireland, Dublin Castle, enclosing copy of a report from Michael Farrell, chief constable of police, Dublin, in which it is stated that Michael Wogan was murdered near Tallagh, County Dublin, on either the 29th or 30th of June. Outlines in detail the circumstances of the killing and conveys the common supposition that Wogan was in company of a gang involved in the houghing of cattle at Whitestown. In the course of carrying out the outrage, he supposes, ‘some misunderstanding took place…and they murdered him’. It was discovered at the scene, he observes, that some animals had their tails cut off and three of the cows had received flesh wounds. The body of Wogan, he confides, presented ‘a most horrid appearance’ having been slashed and ruptured. Also mentions the victim had earlier given information to the police which led to the arrest of some females on a charge of assaulting workmen [in the employment of Mr Daniel] who were engaged in enclosing the commons of Saggart [on which Wogan acted as overseer].

TITLE:

Letter from Major Thomas Powell, inspector general of the Leinster constabulary, referring to a display of outrage on the Royal Canal

SCOPE & CONTENT:

Letter from Major Thomas Powell, inspector general of the Leinster constabulary, Corkagh, Rathcoole, County Dublin, to William H Gregory, Under Secretary of Ireland, Dublin Castle, referring to an outrage committed on the Royal Canal at Mullingar, County Westmeath. In order to arrest such displays of insubordination, he suggests the board of directors of the canal should sanction the ‘free admission of Constables on board their boats at all hours’. He admits, however, a certain hesitancy on the part of constables to perform this duty but stresses all those who attack policemen must be dealt with ‘to the full extent of the Law’, 28 June 1825. Also second letter from Powell to Gregory, enclosing a letter from Samuel Draper, secretary of the Royal Canal, Broadstone, Dublin, reporting on the sinking of a cargo boat on the canal near Ballynacargy in County Westmeath. Expresses opinion that the cause of the incident was due to the owner’s refusal to dismiss an individual worker ‘in whom he placed confidence’. To counteract such atrocities, he pleads for the assistance of government ‘to suppress the alarming system of Combination which at present exists, upon this Navigation’, 26 May 1825. Encloses copy letter from Hugh O’Neill, Ballymahon, County Longford, to Draper, conveying an account of the attack on the canal boat belonging to Adolphus Nordblad, which contained a cargo of 370 barrels of oats. He states the outrage was committed by a combination of about 9 men who beat one of the boatmen and dispossessed the boat master of a gun, 25 May 1825.

He relays the explanation of the victim that he became a target ‘in consequence of his having insisted upon his Rent being paid by the Widow Duff, whose husband had been shott [sic] by James Hewet [Hewitt], a Protestant yeoman, in defence of his yeomanry Gun, which was taken from him by a Lawless Rockite party’.

Letter from Major Thomas Powell, inspector general of the Leinster constabulary, conveying the report of Lieutenant Wray, chief constable of police, Borris in Ossory, Queen’s County, on an arson attack on the property of Richard Ringwood

SCOPE & CONTENT:

Letter from Major Thomas Powell, inspector general of the Leinster constabulary, Corkagh, Rathcoole, County Dublin, to William H Gregory, Under Secretary of Ireland, Dublin Castle, enclosing a letter from Lieutenant [Hugh Boyd] Wray, chief constable of police, Borris in Ossory, Queen’s County [County Laois; Leix], reporting an arson attack on an out house of Richard Ringwood of Graiguedrusla [Graigueadrisly], which contained ‘a large quantity of property’. He states the police were able to save the adjacent dwelling house but the out house was entirely consumed by fire. Amongst the items destroyed, he observes, were corn, potatoes, wool and a selection of agricultural machinery. The cause of the attack, he confides, lay not with the Rockite system but rather with the ‘machinations of improper women with whom this Mr. Ringwood as well as other male individuals of his family were connected’.

TITLE:

Letter from Lieutenant Theobald Pepper, chief constable of police, Nenagh, County Tipperary, enclosing a return of constables and reporting on the murder of Honora Dunn and Catherine Dunn

SCOPE & CONTENT:

Letter from Lieutenant Theobald Pepper, chief constable of police, barony of Ormond, Nenagh, County Tipperary, to Henry Goulburn, Chief Secretary, Dublin Castle, enclosing a return of the names and number of police constables who are serving in his barony. He stresses the quality of the men under his command, whom, with few exceptions, are ‘all active and zealous’. One exception however, is John Clancy, sub constable, who was sometime since dismissed for drunkenness and other misdemeanours; in his wake, he notes, a vacancy has opened up for a replacement officer. He remarks that an especially ‘inhuman murder’ took place on the lands of Commaun Beg on the night of the 21st of March. The victims, he continues, were Honora Dunn and Catherine Dunn, both of whom were murdered by John Dunn [the husband and father respectively of the deceased] who fractured their skulls prior to setting fire to the dwelling house. So far, Dunn has evaded capture but he affirms he is actively working towards his apprehension.
