Petition of Thomas Russell Keays, late police sub constable in the barony of Ennishowen, County Donegal, complaining of a demand for return of a belt and pouch |
SCOPE & CONTENT: |
Petition of Thomas Russell Keays, late police sub constable in the barony of Ennishowen [Inishowen], Ramelton, County Donegal, to Henry Goulburn, Chief Secretary, Dublin Castle, complaining of a demand from the police establishment for return of a belt and pouch, items which he claims are his own property, and requesting a ‘strict enquiry’ by government. Recalls that having been dismissed from the police on 30 November 1824 he returned his horse, arms and other police accoutrements. Having failed to restore to the force his clothing, he came under pressure from James Taylor, chief pay clerk, and Dominick Persse, chief constable of police at Ramelton, to do so. Protests at their continuing demands for return of the belt and pouch, and a threat of jail for refusing to deliver up the items, January 1825. Encloses certificate from Lieutenant Colonel Henry Hooper, formerly of 10th Royal Veteran Battalion, Buttevant Barracks, County Cork, making recommendation for Keays, who served as assistant sergeant major in his unit, countersigned by John Henderson, lieutenant and adjutant; also certificate in his favour from Major William Webb, chief police magistrate for County Donegal, Grouse Hall, Carndonagh, County Donegal, 24 March 1821; 14 June 1824. Also letter from Major Thomas D’Arcy, Belfast, County Antrim, inspector general of police for province of Ulster, to Goulburn, dismissing Keays as a person whose conduct ‘was improper in the extreme’ and as such unfit for police service. Indicates that he has now returned the belt and pouch issued by the ordnance stores, 17 January 1825. Also letter from Keays to William H Gregory, Under Secretary of Ireland, Dublin Castle, making enquiry over his application for redress and requesting return of his two certificates, 23 February 1825. Also letter from D’Arcy to Gregory, referring to his earlier report on Keays’ memorial and confirming ‘it has always been the usual practice to retain the clothing of all men who are dismissed’ from the police establishment ‘otherwise those who succeed to such vacancies would be without uniform’, 25 March 1825. |
