File of papers relating to an allegedly false claim made by William Reynolds, stating that a large unlawful assembly of people were present at Drumakeenan in King's County on the 17th of December 1824 |
SCOPE & CONTENT: |
File of papers relating to an allegedly false claim made by William Reynolds stating a large unlawful assembly of people was present on the townland of Drumakeenan, King's County [County Offaly], on the night of the 17th of December 1824. Includes memorial from Reynolds [formerly of the 12th royal veteran battalion and the 24th regiment of foot], Curaganeen [Curragharneen], County Tipperary, to Richard Wellesley, 1st Marquis Wellesley, Lord Lieutenant, Dublin Castle, stressing the accuracy of his account of the gathering at Drumakeenan, ‘parading in arms’, and appealing against the removal of his army pension. Expresses his ignorance of a meeting to discuss the matter at the town hall of Roscrea, and signals ‘his astonishment that his name had been divulged’ on that occasion, 4 January [1825]. Also includes character reference in favour of Reynolds extolling him as ‘a strictly loyal sober well conducted man’, signed by Reverend James Hannigan, [Church of Ireland] chaplain to the bishop of Clonfert and Kilmacduagh, County Galway [Christopher Butson], 21 December 1821. Also includes copy of proceedings of the meeting held in Roscrea to discuss Reynolds’ claimed sighting of a crowd numbering approximately 1600 persons. Having taken the evidence into account and heard the confessions of several witnesses, it concludes the account given by Reynolds has ‘not the slightest shadow of truth’ and was got up ‘to create an alarm’ in the district. It recommends the pension paid to Reynolds be terminated; meeting presided over by Francis Aldborough Prittie, [MP for Tipperary], chairman, Robert Sandford Palmer, magistrate, and Edmund [Edward] Wilson, chief police magistrate of County Tipperary, [27] December 1824. Also includes letter from Thomas A Shean, Roscrea, to Henry Goulburn, Chief Secretary, Dublin Castle, reflecting on the passage of events surrounding the investigation of Reynolds’ claims. He comments on the reluctance of Reynolds to appear at a hastily convened public investigation on the 27th of December, on account of the ‘presence of a large mob’. He notes too that the finger of accusation was pointed at himself as being one of the architects of the ‘plot’ and complains of the influence of the Catholic Association in the matter. Remarks also on the willingness of Reynolds to offer further assistance in the investigation, having personally paid a visit to William Nash, the chief constable of police at Roscrea. Expresses his belief that nothing but ‘a full and impartial investigation’ of the matter will reveal the full truth, 30 December 1824. |
