THE TIMES - 1861

28-12-1861 From the Times. Some members of the
constabulary have been behaving ill in Tipperary. The
following is supplied by a correspondent of the Daily
express. "A court inquiry, consisting of Sun-Inspectors
BRADSHAW, Thurles Station; MULLARKEY, Borrisoleigh
Station, and NOWLAN, of Templemore Station, assembled at
Drum station in the Borrisoleigh district during the
past week by order of the Inspector-General, Sir H.J.
BROWNRIGG. C.B. to try the following

Sub-constables-EDMOND FOLEY, JOSEPH KEENAN, JAMES
DUGGAN, and JOHN HOOKS, all first class, on the serious
charges of conspiracy, disobedience of orders, and
general insubordination, preffered against them by the
constable in command of the station, H. MAGUIRE. The
charges have been substantiated and the same reported to
the Inspector-General, he immediately ordered the
dismissal from the Constabulary of first class
sub-constable FOLEY, and the reduction from the rank of
first to that of second class of J. KEENAN for 14
months, with the deprivation of two years service: of
JAMES DUGGAN for 14 months,; and of JOHN HOOKS for 6
months.
