Getting Goods under False Pretences.
CHARGE AGAINST AN EX-POLICE CONSTABLE. MAGISTERIAL ENQUIRY
(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT).
Listowel Thursday. Mr Gerald M’Elligott, J.P., sat at the courthouse yesterday, to hear charges of getting monies and other goods under false pretences, preferred by District -Inspector Rice against ex constable Meehan, late of the Knockanure police protection hut. The defendant, who was brought up in custody, looked haggard, as if he had been drinking hard recently.
Thomas J Cronin was the first witness examined, and on being sworn said, in reply to District-Inspector Rice—That he lived at Knockanure, and he knew the defendant (Constable Meehan) to be stationed there, for the past two months, he got letter from his servant-boy who stated that he got, it from the constable; the letter was addressed to the proprietor of Stack’s Drapery establishment; he happened to come into town that day, and he gave the letter to Mr Nolan, who is the manage of Mr Stack’s M.P’s drapery establishment ; it was on a Friday, towards the end of the month, but he said not to fix the date; Mr Nolan told him the nature of the letter, that it was an order for boots on approval; he told Mr Nolan to send them up to M Gingley’s and that he would take them from that place to Knockanure; the boots were Sent up, and he took them away home with him, the next morning the servant woman from the protection post came for them, he was in at the time, and gave the woman the boots, knowing that she was a barrack servant, her name was Mrs Griffin. To the Bench—She asked for a parcel for Constable Meehan, and I gave her the parcel which, contained four pairs of boots. That was all he knew, about the matter,
In reply to the Bench, the prisoner said that he did not think the case would be heard until Saturday, otherwise Mr Creagh would have been there to defend him. District-Inspector Rice said that if he had been made aware of that, he would have sent for Mr Creagh. Prisoner—I mentioned it to the men coming up.
Mr Creagh was sent for-
Mr David Nolan on being sworn, said—He was the manager of Mr Stack’s drapery establishment ; on Friday, the 27th of August, he received a letter (produced) from this last witness ; he did not remember whether there was an envelope on it or not; that purported to be addressed from the Knockanure constabulary hut; it requested of him to send out a pair of boots on approval, and if they were suitable, he (the constable) would pay for them at the end of the month when he would get his pay ; consequently, he sent the boots up to Mr. Bernard M’Ginley’s, where the last witness told him to send them ; the value of the boots was £2 -5s-6d ; the value of each pair respectively was 10s., 10s. 6d., I2s and 13s, ; he identified the boots on the table as being three out of the four pairs which he sent to be left at Mr M’Gingley’s for prisoner ; the boots on prisoner’s feet were similar to the missing pair ; but he could not identify them; by the private mark he identified them ; but the marks were worn off the boots on prisoner’s feet. Mr Creagh, Solr., who hold been sent for, came into court during the Examination, and took up the defence. He read over the depositions, and said he had no Questions to ask, except to know what were the specific charges Against his client, Mr David Barry on being sworn, said he belonged to the firm of Barry and Clancy ; he knew the defendant for some short time”; on the 28th of August last, the prisoner went into his establishment, and asked for the loan of a £, which he gave him ; the prisoner was dressed in civilians clothes at the time, but that did not surprise him, as the men are frequently in plain clothes lately; he believed that prisoner was in the force at the time ; he could, not say whether prisoner was on duty or not at the time, nor did he remember Whether prisoner said he was or not. District-Inspector Rice was about to put a
question to witness, that would tend to refresh his-memory on the point ; but Mr Creagh objected. The Bench would not allow any leading questions, or any questions that would suggest the answer.”. Witness (continuing) said he was not paid that money yet; but Head-Constable Carroll came for him, and on going down to the police barracks, the prisoner told him that the Inspector had his back pay, and that he would be paid by him.
District -Inspector Rice said he had something about £3 of the prisoner’s pay; but he had no power of paying Mr Barry out of it. Sergeant Jeremiah Cummins, on being sworn, said he was in charge of the Knockanure police hut; the defendant was under his command there; he tendered his resignation on or about the 23rd of August; be delivered up his arms about eight o’clock; he was dismissed from ranks and pay ; but he had an allowance ; his things were at the hut yet ; his gross monthly pay was £4 15s. 4d.
District-Inspector Rice, on being sworn, said he received a report on 9th August from Sergeant Cummins, which stated a charge of drunkenness against prisoner ; about the 21st of August he received a constables resignation, both of which he forwarded to his authorities ; on the 27th of August he received a telegram suspending Constable Meehan from the ranks of pay and duty from that date : he sent Head-Constable Carroll to inform him of it ; I on the first of September he received instructions from Head-Quarters that Constable Meehan’s services were no longer required, and to pay him his back pay up to that date; he could not inform him of these instructions, as the constable had left his hut since the 28th, and did not return at that date ; on the evening of the 8th inst., about 8 o’clock, the constable came to him for his pay; in the meantime, inconsequence of something? which had come to his knowledge, he had him arrested on a charge of getting monies and goods under false pretences.
The enquiry was then adjourned until nine o’clock on Friday. On the hearing of the charges preferred by District-Inspector Rice, against ex-constable Meehan, being resumed on Friday, Mrs Griffin, servant at the Knockanure police hut, on being sworn, said she brought a parcel of boots from Cronin’s house for the defendant ; she saw the defendant opening the parcel, and taking out boots;. that was on a Saturday. Constable Thomas M’Gushion, on being sworn, deposed that he was stationed at the Knockanure police hut; he knew the defendant to be stationed there with him; he saw him getting a parcel of boots, and putting on one pair; that was on the 28th. of August ; he left the hut on that date, and had not since returned ; his boxes were in the hut yet ; Constable Reilly brought his portmanteau into town ; the other three pairs of boots were in it; it was not locked, but was strapped up ; on the 4th inst. he received a letter from defendant, asking him to carry his private property in the kit to the Kilmorna railway station (letter produced), His Worship asked if the defendant would have been punished or dismissed for a similar charge of drunkenness. District Inspector Rice said he would not; that but for these charges he might have been left off with a caution. Mr Creagh said there was no evidence to show that his client had any intention of getting these things under false pretences, on the contrary he had told his officer not to pay for them. District-inspector Rice said he did not want to act the part of the Bankruptcy Court. It was a very painful duty to him to have to bring on those charges, yet he felt it his duty to have them cleared up. His Worship said the Inspector had acted quite right up to the moment that he read the letter asking to have his goods removed to the railway station, he fully believed the defendant had no intention of committing any offence. However, as the charges: were not proved he would refuse to give information, but he ordered that Mr Barry £1 be paid back to him, and that the boots be paid for,
The witness of deep contagious happiness flowing from awareness of God’s presence and love — stoked by Mass, prayer, confession and charity — is the best means to attract people to that same Source.

HERO: Goodyear accepting nominations for annual Highway Hero Award
11/5/2019 – Akron, OH – Goodyear is accepting nominations for its annual Highway Hero Award, which honors truck drivers who put themselves in harm’s way to help others. The 2019 Goodyear Highway Hero Award winner, Paul Mathias, a driver for System Transport of Cheney, WA, administered CPR to save the life of a young passenger involved in a car accident. “It’s incredibly humbling to hear story after story of the selflessness of so many of our nation’s truck drivers,” said Gary Medalis, marketing director, Goodyear North America. “Goodyear’s Highway Hero Award gives us an opportunity to share these incredible stories and celebrate the extraordinary deeds of truck drivers in the ordinary course of their work.” A panel of representatives from the trucking industry will select the next Goodyear Highway Hero from among three finalists identified by Goodyear. The winner will be announced in March 2020, coinciding with the annual Mid-America Trucking Show, and will receive a cash award, among other prizes. Each finalist will also receive a cash prize and various items. Nominations must be submitted before December 31, and meet the following criteria to be considered for the award: A full-time truck driver; residing in the U.S. or Canada; the heroic incident must have happened in the U.S. or Canada; nominee’s truck must have had 12 wheels or more at the time of the incident; nominee must have been on the job, or on the way to or from work in his or her truck, at the time of the incident; and the incident must have taken place between November 16, 2018 and November 16, 2019. This marks the 37th year Goodyear will be honoring a truck driver with this award. Past Goodyear Highway Hero Award winners include a truck driver who ripped the back door from a burning car to save two passengers, and a driver who dove into a pond to pull a child from a submerged car.
