yet another

Hello Simon. Thanks.

Working for Dublin Castle? Good grief, that puts him in the thick of things.

That's all I need, another PI working against the Irish cause.

(And a Scots lad. I may cry.)

Cheers.

Hi Lynn,

Thanks for that. I'll have a look at it over the week-end.

Regards, Bridewell.

Hi All,

Adolphus Frederick Williamson was undoubtedly a much respected police officer.

A few familiar names contributed to his Memorial Fund.



Regards,

Simon

Bulling

Hello Simon. Thanks for that. A veritable who's whom.

I think the Borthwick chap was a Primrose League lad, as, I think, was Dolly.

Did you notice TJ Bulling? Zounds!

Cheers.

Thanks Simon. Is the T.J. Bulling, Esq. a different guy from the newspaper journalist?

Wasn't Meiklejohn hired by William O'Brien of the "United Ireland" to get dirt in Dublin on George Bolton (amongst others), Crown solicitor in Ireland . Meiklejohn paid a visit to Alice Carroll in connection with this particular private investigation, ( I assume because Bolton had been stated to have been withholding crucial defence evidence in certain cases in the Irish courts and perhaps fabricating prosecution evidence too?)

take

Hello Debs. That is pretty much my take. Hence, my astonishment.

Cheers.

Thanks, Lynn.
Why do you think Meiklejohn was visiting Alice?

Alice

Hello Debs. Seems to me to obtain information.

Alice was given L500 (if I recall properly) for her testimony. That was quite a sum. Tynan was convinced that she was a British spy.

I don't know what to believe, except that she gave some crucial testimony.

At inquest the defense tried to make heavy weather of her being in pubs. She played down that aspect of their testimony, but then with that D & D you found . . .

Perhaps alcohol was her bane after all.

Cheers.
