MR. O'BRIENasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether it is the case that the police force in the town of Glin, county Limerick, is left in charge of an acting-constable named O'Brien; and, whether it is usual to give so important a charge to a policeman of inferior rank?
§ MR. TREVELYANI am informed that it is usual, when a constable is not available, to place an acting constable in charge of small outposts such as Glin; 1731 and that acting constable O'Brien, a senior man in his rank who will very soon be promoted, was selected as having good local knowledge, and being otherwise well fitted for the post.
