HC Deb 18 July 1901 vol 97 c843
MR. T. M. HEALY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that Commandant Singleton, Royal Irish Constabulary depot, traffics in horses, and has sold horses to newly appointed officers in the Constabulary, and will the Government secure that inferior officials of the Constabulary shall be allowed to buy their horses in the open market.

MR. WYNDHAM

Mr. Singleton has given many officers, at their request, the benefit of his advice and experience in the purchase of horses; but he does not "traffic" in horses, and has never sold one to an officer of the force. All officers are free to buy wherever they wish.
