TITLE: |
Letter from Richard Willcocks, inspector general of police, County Limerick, concerning the practice of faction fights at fairs and social gatherings in County Tipperary |
SCOPE & CONTENT: |
Letter from Richard Willcocks, inspector general of police [Munster], Limerick, County Limerick, to William H Gregory, Under Secretary of Ireland, Dublin Castle, reflecting on the practice of faction fights at fairs and social gatherings in County Tipperary. While he admits that such activity has become ‘more frequent’ in recent times, it has consistently formed part of the social fabric of the province of Munster for ‘upward of a Century’. In cases where parties assemble and no fighting takes place, he believes, it is because of the absence of a counter party rather than a bid by those in attendance to congregate for drilling or other paramilitary pursuits. Such party combats at fairs could be curtailed, he asserts, if magistrates attended accompanied by an adequate number of policemen or military personnel. Then, he continues, the leaders might be arrested for disturbing the peace and brought to justice. Returns letter from James Roe, magistrate of County Tipperary, Roesborough [Roseborough], Tipperary, County Tipperary, to Henry Goulburn, Chief Secretary, Dublin Castle, expressing his concern over the apparent proliferation of faction warfare at fairs in the locality. He contends that participation in ‘private feuds’ is becoming a well organised pursuit in the greater part of Munster, with gangs made up of men ‘selected indiscriminately’ now being ‘regulated under their local chiefs who send them to the various fairs with the ostensible purpose of fighting each other’. He observes that oaths are taken and the adherents proceed on the basis not to prosecute each other in the event of a casualty. Over the past 14 months, he remarks, a total of 23 persons have ‘waylaid and died of been beat’ in the surrounding region. While the organisation of such violence, he observes, does not yet possess ‘a disaffected nature’, nonetheless, it is becoming increasingly dangerous. He fears despite the outward motives of the participants ‘a pretext to assemble and drill was the real object of all parties’. |

Letter from Major George Warburton, inspector general of police for Connaught, reporting on the victimisation of a woman in Burren, County Clare, by the local priest |
SCOPE & CONTENT: |
Letter from Major George Warburton, inspector general of police for Connaught, Ballinasloe, County Galway, to William H Gregory, Under Secretary of Ireland, Dublin Castle, reporting on the victimisation of a woman in Burren, County Clare, by the local priest. Encloses letter from Mary Donelan, Burren, to Henry Goulburn, Chief Secretary, Dublin Castle, complaining of a violent attack on her dwelling by Reverend Timothy Gahagan, Roman Catholic parish priest of Abbey and Aughtwanna [Aghawinnaun], and seeking redress. She claims the priest forcibly put her and family out of their cabin and proceeded to destroy the house, furniture and store of potatoes. Having received some assistance from a neighbour in placing a temporary covering on the house, she continues, Gahagan returned and commenced destruction of her remaining household items, 11 July 1825. Also encloses letter from Walter Molony, magistrate, Gort, County Galway, to Warburton, reporting on his investigation of the circumstances surrounding Donelan’s complaint. He states he spoke to the post master of Burren and a number of other local witnesses and confirms the ‘cabin has been levelled literally to the ground’. No trace was found of the woman who apparently was forced out because she ‘was of loose character & had several bastard children’, 24 July 1825. |
