Book Description
This new, revised and expanded edition brings back into print an excellent resource for those interested in the history of the RIC and the revolutionary period generally. In the period 1816 to 1922 some 85,000 men served in the RIC and its predecessor forces. Information on all these policemen is available, constituting a quarry for their descendants in Ireland, the US and elsewhere. The book consists of chapters on the history of policing in Ireland (to illustrate the type of men in the Force, their background and their lifestyle etc.), followed by a section on 'Tracing your ancestors in the RIC'. New appendices to this edition identify members of the RIC who were rewarded for their service during the Young Ireland Rising, 1848; the Fenian Rising, 1867; the Easter Rising, 1916; and the War of Independence, 1919-21. Also members of the RIC who volunteered for service in the Mounted Staff Corps and the Commissariat during the Crimean War; members who served as drivers and orderlies on secondment to the Irish Hospital in the South African War in 1900; and members who served in the British Army in the First World War are identified. RIC recipients of the King George V, Coronation (Police) Medal, 1911; the Constabulary Medal; and the Kings Police Medal are listed, as are ex-RIC men who transferred to the Royal Ulster Constabulary in 1922 and received additional bravery medals.

Excerpt: ... the history of the royal irish constabulary. chapter I. ppsition of matters previous to the formation of the constabulary. early half a century is a long time to look back upon, in describing the first formation of an institution; nevertheless, the origin, progress, and maturity of the Irish constabulary can readily be traced. It will not be necessary to enter into a minute detail of the several attempts which were made, from time to time, by the legislature, to form a system of police calculated to meet the requirements of the state of Ireland, at a period of from twenty to thirty years previous to the formation of the Irish constabulary. To give a short summary of the different Acts of Parliament which were passed with the pro A fessed object of preserving the peace, and a few of their leading provisions, will be sufficient--indeed one of them was universally known as 'the Peace Preservation Act.' In 1787, an Act was passed--the 27th of Geo. iii., ch. 40, entitled, 'An Act for the better Execution of the Law, and the Preservation of the Peace within Counties at large.' This Act empowered the Lord Lieutenant to appoint a chief constable to each one or more baronies; while the grand juries had power given to them to appoint sixteen sub-constables to each of the same districts; and it was a provision in the Act that they should be Protestants. They were entitled to a sum of three-pence a mile for the conveyance of all prisoners whom they might apprehend, f

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of the Royal Irish Constabulary It appears to us that the time has arrived when a complete History of the Irish Constabulary, not only may be, but ought to be written. Many of the younger members of the force - indeed many, perhaps, of those who can scarcely be called the younger members - know comparatively little of the origin and infancy of the force to which they belong. Many of those who joined it along with ourselves have left it altogether, and lost all interest in it except their quarter day's pension; while some - alas! not a few of our contemporaries - have passed away to that country where experience was born of God, and which no Act of Parliament can alter or 'amend.'
