74. Mr. POINTERasked the Home Secretary if he has any jurisdiction over the constabulary of the Isle of Man; and, if so, will he state what former appointments have been held by Colonel Madoc, now chief constable of the island, and for what reasons he left them?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe Isle of Man Constabulary is not under my jurisdiction, and the chief constable is appointed by the Lieutenant-Governor under the terms of an insular Act. Lord Raglan informs me that Colonel Madoc served with the Cape Mounted Rifles from 1890 till the war in South Africa. In November, 1900, he was appointed Major in the South African Constabulary, and rose to be Acting Inspector-General of that corps in 1908. On the amalgamation of the South African Constabulary and the Johannesburg Police he was appointed Deputy-Commissioner and Second in Command of the Transvaal Police. He was retired in 1910 on the amalgamation of the Police of the four Colonies.
