Letter from Major Thomas Powell, inspector general of the Leinster constabulary, enclosing report of William Kelly, chief constable of police, County Kilkenny, concerning the arrest of those involved in forging or distributing base coin |
SCOPE & CONTENT: |
Letter from Major Thomas Powell, inspector general of the Leinster constabulary, Edenderry, King’s County [County Offaly], to William H Gregory, Under Secretary of Ireland, Dublin Castle, reporting on the detection and prosecution of ‘a Band of Itinerant Coiners’ who were active in the south of Ireland for 12 months past. He continues the gang have links with all the ‘rogues and vagabonds’ of the southern counties and have generally focused their activities on corporate towns, which are outside the regular jurisdiction of the constabulary police. Although much useful information was obtained on their illicit trade, he regrets, the authorities were unable to determine the precise place of production. Encloses a letter from William Kelly, chief constable of police, [County Wexford], Kilkenny, County Kilkenny, stating he caught and arrested James Hunt and 'Bryan' for manufacturing fake currency at a location outside the city of Kilkenny. Having secured the prisoners, he adds, he confiscated the die and apparatus of production plus a quantity of base coins. In addition, he enthuses, he also captured some other members of the criminal gang responsible for forgery and hopes to bring the investigation to a conclusion soon.

TITLE: |
Letter from Major Thomas Powell, inspector general of the Leinster constabulary, concerning the death of ‘Dunn’ at the hands of a constable of King’s County |
SCOPE & CONTENT: |
Letter from Major Thomas Powell, inspector general of the Leinster constabulary, Tullamore, King’s County [County Offaly], to William H Gregory, Under Secretary of Ireland, Dublin Castle, relaying details of the death of ‘Dunn’ which occurred during a brawl at a public house in the village of Mountbolus. Rather than the aggression of Dunn's opponent being the cause of death, he observes, the fatal injuries apparently resulted from the intervention of a constable of the police establishment. Encloses a letter from Arthur G Judge, chief constable of police, Kinnitty, King’s County, to William Henderson, chief constable of police, Edenderry, reporting on the killing of Dunn during an outbreak of disorder in Mountbolus. When the police arrived, they found Dunn engaged in a struggle with ‘Molloy’ on the floor of the public house and in the ensuing melee, it appears, the deceased man died from the force of a blunt instrument. In the event, he conveys, ‘a verdict of murder’ is found against Thomas Kernahan, sub constable of Blacklion. |

Letter from Major Thomas Powell, inspector general of the Leinster constabulary, concerning the killing of Michael Hogan by James White of Ahavoe, Queen’s County |
SCOPE & CONTENT: |
Letter from Major Thomas Powell, inspector general of the Leinster constabulary, Tullamore, King’s County [County Offaly], 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 on the apprehension of James White of Ahavoe [?Aghaboe] for the crime of shooting dead Michael Hogan on the 13th of May. He states the guilty party was brought into custody by the warrant of Charles Patterson [coroner of Rathdowney]. It appears, he remarks, the matter was centred on a disagreement between James White and his brother Hans White, over use of land, which culminated in the murder of Hogan. Expresses his view that James White, who also discharged a shot which wounded Michael Dunne, a bystander, was deranged or mentally disturbed at the time of the incident. |

Letter from Major Thomas Powell, inspector general of the Leinster constabulary, concerning an arson attack on the police barracks of the town of Kildare, County Kildare |
SCOPE & CONTENT: |
Letter from Major Thomas Powell, inspector general of the Leinster constabulary, Tullamore, King’s County [County Offaly], to William H Gregory, Under Secretary of Ireland, Dublin Castle, enclosing an extract of a letter from Ephraim Stewart Flinter, chief constable of police, [Rathangar], Rossmore Lodge, County Kildare, reporting on an arson attack on the police barracks of the town of Kildare. Observes the attempt was discovered before the building fully caught fire and upon inspection the police ’found a coal placed in the thatch’. A nearby barn, he remarks, the property of Mrs Williamson [who also owns the barracks] was sometime previously set alight and consumed by fire. No one has yet been charged with the crime, but, he notes, suspicion has been cast upon a man called ‘Cavanagh’ who was earlier ejected from the property now used as a police barracks for failure to meet his rental payment. |

Letter from Richard Pennefather, 4th baron of Irish Court of Exchequer, concerning an attack on one of his tenants at Knockgraffon in County Tipperary |
SCOPE & CONTENT: |
Letter from Baron Richard Pennefather, 4th baron of the Irish Court of Exchequer, [Knockeevan, Clonmel, County Tipperary], to William H Gregory, Under Secretary of Ireland, Dublin Castle, complaining of an attack on one of his tenants [Carew] on his holding at Knockgrafton [Knockgraffon] in County Tipperary. He remarks a party of night marauders made a determined effort to break into the residence there, but were resisted by his tenant who fired a pistol and wounded one of the attackers. The incursion, he believes, was most likely caused by the acquisition of a portion of ground by his tenant, which some time earlier had been in possession of another occupier [who was removed from that land by Pennefather]. Stresses the prudence of permitting Carew to hold firearms for self protection, and hopes for the assistance of Major Richard Willcocks, the inspector general of police, on that issue. |

Letter from Major Thomas Powell, inspector general of the Leinster constabulary, concerning the aggravated escape of a prisoner from the custody of the police at Newtown in County Tipperary |
SCOPE & CONTENT: |
Letter from Major Thomas Powell, inspector general of the Leinster constabulary, Dublin, to William H Gregory, Under Secretary of Ireland, Dublin Castle, remarking upon the aggravated escape of a prisoner from the custody of the police constabulary at Newtown in County Tipperary. Suggests an explanation on the transaction be requested from Thomas Lalor, magistrate of Newtown, in view of all the circumstances. Encloses a letter from James Saunderson, chief constable of police, Pilltown [Ballypoyle], County Kilkenny, reporting on the seizure by force of William Gorman, who is wanted in connection with murder of ‘Shea’ and the burning of his property at Tubber [Tober] in County Tipperary. States the police arrested Gorman who they happened upon outside the chapel of Newtown but he summoned the assistance of the mob [who were part of the congregation leaving mass] and ‘a furious attack with stones’ was commenced against the constabulary; although the police discharged some shots, he observes, Gorman was nonetheless rescued and the police forced into retreat. Saunderson admits, however, at the time of the incident, the police were out ‘in disguise’ under orders to deliver a warrant issued by Christopher Humphreys and John Despard against Bryan Landy. |

Letter from Major Thomas Powell, inspector general of the Leinster constabulary, relaying details of the sinking of a vessel laden with oats the Royal Canal, County Westmeath, and the destruction of a quantity of eggs |
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 Colonel Daniel Toler Osborne, chief constable and pay clerk of police, Curristown, Killucan, County Westmeath, reporting on the sinking of a canal boat laden with 400 barrels of oats on the Royal Canal, near Mullingar, County Westmeath. He also mentions a large quantity of eggs bound for England were maliciously dumped in the navigation at Ballinacarigy. In the former case, a number of boatmen refused their assistance because the boat owner [Duffy] had restricted the employment of four men, he presumes; whereas in the latter case, he ponders if the cause behind the wanton destruction of the eggs was because the owner was himself an Englishman. |
