File of documents concerning the controversy surrounding the discharge of John Jennings from police custody by Pierse S Creagh, magistrate of County Clare.
SCOPE & CONTENT:

File of documents concerning the controversy surrounding the discharge of John Jennings from police custody by Pierse S Creagh, magistrate of County Clare. Includes letter from from Capt J Vignoles, [Chief Magistrate], Ennis, [County Clare], to Lieutenant Colonel Sir William Gosset, Under Secretary, reporting on the enquiry over Creagh’s decision to release Jennings, a principle suspect in the murder of five policemen between Doolin and Ballyvaughan [Toohavara] in County Clare; observing that Creagh made no reference to the magistrates who ordered the prisoner’s apprehension but it appears that some degree of consent was given by Henry Townsend [Chief Constable, Ennistymon and Tulla]; adding that Jennings has now embarked for America. Also includes an abstract of facts relating to the case against Creagh: remarking that Creagh made a personal decision to discharge Jennings ‘on his own authority’ and without Townsend’s knowledge or without consulting Francis McNamara, magistrate; noting that Jennings is a foster brother to Creagh and both live in close proximity to one another; remarking that Creagh made no effort to have the suspect re-apprehended following the production of a fresh warrant; adding that Jennings subsequently ‘made his escape to America’.
