Hello Listers I am seeking information regarding Irishmen who worked for the British constabulary around 1900. I run a family history group for U3A in Australia and one of the members is descended from one of these people. He was her grandfather and she was told by her late father that he and his brothers were sent to Australia to escape from people who may have harmed them because of their father's association with the British constabulary. I would be very grateful for any information about Irishmen in the British police force. Many thanks in advance Jan Haggart

Jan, People who aided, or were suspected of aiding, the English authorities were sometimes emigrated (my use of this form of the verb is deliberate) to Australasia under a procedure known as Protection of Crown Witnesses. I mentioned this some time back on this List. I've made a few attempts to find out more about this procedure as I was trying to trace a family named Ryan which was transferred from Clare to Van Diemens Land (Tasmania) because their lives were in danger. For some time a police guard had lived in a little hut next to their house to ensure their safety. There is obviously quite a bit of documentation on the 19th century Crown Witness procedure in the English archives in Kew. I found references to it online but have not been able to visit Kew to find out more. Nor have I been able to find records of their arrivals at the Australasian end. Maybe the records have been lost but it is also possible that their arrivals were kept secret to maintain their anonymities, i.e. that records were deliberately not kept. I also wondered whether there were any records of financial assistance offered to these people but have not turned anything up. I have no idea whether this translocation was forcible or voluntary or something in-between, e.g. whether there was some kind of judicial process. Pádraig (the Paddy that was) P.S.

He had been at a funeral from Ennis on that day, of a Mrs. KELLY, Kilmaley and was returning hom on horseback accompanied by his father in law Daniel REIDY when about a half mile from his home the deceased's horse seems to have taken fright causing Reidy's horse to gallop on in front. It would appear that poor MUNGOVAN was then thrown by the restive horse and, it is believed, to have been killed on the spot. There was no eye witness of the tragic event. An inquiry was held on Monday by Mr. F.F. CULLINAN, solicitor. Coroner, Mr T. DOOHAN being the foreman of the jury. Daniel REIDY of Glaun, who was the first witness examined, gave evidence to the fact that he knew the deceased who was his son in law. The deceased, who was about forty years of age, was a farmer. He had seen him last alive about six o'clock on Saturday night, having met him at the funeral of Mrs KEANE, which came from Ennis. They came from Kilmaley Cross, both being riding on horses. When they got about half mile from the deceased's place the horse on which the deceased was riding got some fright and commenced to gallop which set witness' horse also off. He then got in front of the deceased and was not able to stop his horse until he went for about a half mile. Witness then walked home. He was told where the body was found and that place would b quite close to where the horse became frightened. Michael KERIN, Slieveloughane, stated that he knew the deceased. He remembered Michael and John DOOHAN being at his father's house on Saturday night at about half past nine o'clock. After leaving the house, they came back again and said that there was a horse in McINERNEY's field. Witness went out to see what horse was there. He then saw a saddle on the horse which he recognised as belonging to the deceased. They caught the horse and they found the bridle broken as was also the girth of the saddle. Having taken the horse out they made a search and after some time they found the body of the decease who was partly lying on his face close to the ditch of the field in which the horse had been, just at the cross. The deceased's shoulder was partly against the fence. As far as witness could see, the man was dead but the body was not cold. They took him into witness' father's house and there put him before the fire but he never showed any signs of life. They sent for the priest. Dr T. KILLEEN, medical officer of Killaniv, gave evidence of his having examined the body of the deceased. There was a contused wound on the right side of his face and dislocation of the cervical vertebrae which was the cause of death. Those injuries would be caused by falling off a horse. The jury returned a verdict that John MUNGOVAN was accidentally killed on Saturday, the second of February, by falling off a horse which he was riding. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to IRL-CLARE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Yes, Kinturk is correct and is the spelling on the map I have as well. I have seen it written as "Kanturk" before, even on some headstones in the Kilmaley Parish cemetery. I decide to transcribe the article as it was printed in the Kilmaley Parish Magazine. This John MUNGOVAN is a great great uncle of mine date of birth 22 Feb 1867 Co Clare. Son of Michael MUNGOVAN and Mary EGAN. He was married to Ann REIDY. They had 3 daughters: Bridget MUNGOVAN b. 1902 d. age 34 June 1936 wife of Patrick KELLY Mary MUNGOVAN ? Margaret MUNGOVAN ? Anyone else reasearching this line feel free to contact me.
