POLICE ESPIONAGE.

Whilst the atroties at Shinrone are still the subject
of a Government inves:;zation at the Castle, and the
public are astounded by the iTvelations made from day
to day of the secret agencies for the manufacture of
crime, we find, by the subjoined correspondence between
Lord Clements and the constabulary authorities, that a
system of prying and espionage, without the sanction, or
even the forms of legal authority, is in actual operation
throughout the country, on the pretence of making up
some kind of census, different from that so recently com-
pleted by the Government commission :
" Lough Rynn, October 1, 1844.
" Lord Clements begs to be informed by what autho-
rity a police-constable entered his house this day, for
the purpose of taking down in writing the name of the
inmates.

" To the Sub-Inspector of Police, Mobil."
" Mohill, October 1, 1844.

" Mr. Kerin, sub-inspector, begs to inform Lord Cle-
ments, in reply to his Lordship's note of this day, that
by his directions the constabulary are taking a registry
of householders ' • such registry to be copied into a book,
to be kept for the purpose at each post in the district.
Mr. Kerin begs further to inform his Lordship that he is
acting by authority of the Right Hon. Inspector-Gene-
ral's circular, dated 11th instant, which directs, where
not already done, immediate steps to be taken to have
the registry completed. Mr. Kerin requests his Lord-
ship will be so good as to inform him if the constabu-
lary are now at liberty to take the registry on his pro-
perty.
" The Right Hon. Viscount Clements."
" Lough Rynn, October 2. 1844.
" Lord Clements will be much obliged to Mr. Kerin
to send him a copy of the circular to which he refers.
" To the Sub-Inspector of Police, Mohill."
" Mohill, October 2, 1844.
" Mr. Kerin, 5.1., begs to inform Lord Clements, in
reply to his note of this date, that the circular referred
to being marked confid,ntial,' he regrets not feeling
himself at liberty to send his Lordship a copy of it.
" The Right Hon. Viscount Clem-nts."
" Lough Rynn, October 2, 1844.
"Lord Clements is not satisfied that the police have
any authOrity or any lawful right to enter any man's
house, and put inquisitorial queqions to its inmates ;
and it is his desire that the police will confine themselves
to their lawful duties as constables. and will not attempt
to enter any house without a sufficient warrant for so
doing.
" To the Sub-Inspector of Police, Mohill."
" Lough Rynn, Oct. 2, 1844.

" Sir,—A policeman entered my house yesterday, for
the purpose of taking down in writing the names of the
inmates. I have applied to the sub-in,pector in Mohill,
his immediate officer, to know by what authority this
liberty has been taken, and I have been informed by him
that he gave directions to the policeman, under autho-
rity of a circular from you, bearing date the 11th of last
month, buz declines giving me any further infonnation,
staang that the circular is marked confidential.' I,
therefore, beg to be informed by you by what authority

you have ordered my house to be entered fur any such
urpese.
" I am your obedient servant.
" To the Insp ctor-GTegrTaieldn?fPolice,CLEbNlilnE.TS:
"Conaabelary-otlice, Dublin Castle, Oct. 4, 1844.
"My Lord,—ln reply to your letter of the 2d inst.,
beg to acquaint your Lordship, that having had l'en'o,
to believe from the ignorance of several of the police
el
specting their districts, that the instructions coulainere
ins the printed regulations of the force, whichen- w
rs,
framed in 1837, respecting the registry of housellowept
were not sufficiently attended to, directions were 11°1;1,
forwarded to them recalling their attention to tlieslio's
ject. But I regret to observe, from your lacrusholt
communication, that the policeman referred to pus"-
to
the nature of his orders by intruding into your „lie
for, tguard against such an occurrence, I direr in
the men should not make formal visits to the houe
their sub-districts, the object of which might be Otsubo
derstood; but that the required information should
sks
gathered incidentally. And these directions I shalltei,
care to reiterate.—l have the honour to be, my'-
your Lordship's most obedient, humble servant.

" Sir,—l have bad the honour of receiving your no
of the 4th of October. It appears that you baieroof,
authority for having violated the sanctity of mat roof,
and those of my neighbours and friends ; in 411°11,10
you have been guilty of an illegal act; and the re,(-0.
which you now pry pose to me is, that in future /. A
espionage shall not be conducted so openly, but ""t0
more obscure, and not less offensive manner. I tell in

they are in conformity with the law of the land.
