TITLE: |
Letter from Major George Warburton, inspector general of police for Connaught, reflecting on a riotous disturbance in the town of Sixmilebridge in County Clare |
SCOPE & CONTENT: |
Letter from Major George Warburton, inspector general of police for Connaught, Oatfield House, near Aughrim, County Galway, to William H Gregory, Under Secretary of Ireland, Dublin Castle, reflecting on a riotous disturbance in the town of Sixmilebridge in County Clare. Remarks upon the ‘disposition to riot & fighting’ evident in that county and applauds the firm stand taken against offenders by Richard Farrell, the assistant barrister for County Clare. He conforms a strong police presence will be available in that quarter should an anticipated ‘Battle on St Stephen’s Day’ look likely. Returns letter from Captain Michael D’Alton, Ross Castle yeomanry, Sixmilebridge, to Henry Goulburn, Chief Secretary, Dublin Castle, reporting the fair of Sixmilebridge was disturbed by faction rioting on the 5th of December. In the circumstances, he conveys, he called upon a detachment of the 84th regiment to quell the disquiet. With loaded weapons at the ready, the military in company with the police marched out to confront the mob. Orders were given, he states, to charge down the rioters and re-establish the peace. A number of prisoners were taken and put in the town bridewell and the others 'dispersed’. At the hour of 8pm, he continues, an inspection was carried out of the public houses and all turned out and the doors ‘shut up’. He emphasises the need to act decisively and boasts over a period of 30 years his actions have not caused ‘the loss of a life at either side’ in the suppression of riot. |

Letter from Major George Warburton, inspector general of police for Connaught, offering a general report on the district under his command |
SCOPE & CONTENT: |
Letter from Major George Warburton, inspector general of police for Connaught, Oatfield House, near Aughrim, County Galway, to William H Gregory, Under Secretary of Ireland, Dublin Castle, reporting on the comparative tranquillity of the district under his command. He observes a general sense of contentment amongst the lower orders which is buoyed up by ample provisions and healthy agricultural prices. Likewise, he remarks upon the substantial benefits flowing out of the Tythe Composition Act. At the same time, he admits that sporadic riots are still an obstacle to the peace; the disturbance in the barony of Tireragh in County Sligo, is a case in point. As to the conduct and discipline of the police force under his stewardship, he expresses himself most satisfied and hopes in time they will ‘not only become efficient but respectable & popular’. Encloses sheet headed a ‘List of Documents transmitted to the Right Honourable Robert Peel [Secretary of State]’, being the reports from the 8 inspector generals of police throughout Ireland [not present]. |
