| SCOPE & CONTENT: |
Letter from Major George Warburton, inspector general of police for Connaught, Oatfield House, near Aughrim, County Galway, to Henry Goulburn, Chief Secretary, Dublin Castle, reflecting on the state of the district under his control. Expresses his satisfaction ‘the Police System is working well’ and is effective in bringing to justice those who disturb the peace or engage in more serious crime.

Encloses copy letter from William Coffey, chief constable of police, Tomgraney, County Clare, reporting on an arson attack on the residence of Daniel Molony at Shean [Sheeaun] near Scariff on the night of 27th of December. Molony, he observes, has ‘been shockingly persecuted’ over the past couple of years on account, he supposes, of his taking land upon which the former occupants were ‘ejected by Mr Sampson for non-payment of rent’. He comments also on the apprehension of John Wall, ‘a most notorious offender charged with Murder, Cow-stealing and several other offences’. This outlaw, he continues, was staying with a man named Burk [Burke] and was secured with the assistance of Henry Townsend, chief constable of police at Tulla, 28 December 1825. Also encloses copy letter from Thomas P Firman, chief constable of police, Eyrecourt, County Galway, indicating he has arrested an outlaw named ‘Carroll’ who is wanted for murder at Parsonstown [Birr] in King’s County [County Offaly]. States he found the suspect in the dwelling of his sister-in-law ‘concealed between two Beds & three women lying over him’. Confirms he has sought a warrant for his trial and imprisonment from Mr Furneyhough, a police constable of Parsonstown, 30 December 1825. |
