1 Copy / Cavan Office 24th day of February, 1916. Dear Sir, I am in receipt of yours of the 23rd instant,
in reference to the Prosecutors and Witnesses Expenses
in County Cavan. I have already written to the County
Inspector to get the necessary authority from the
respective Sergeants and Constables referred to in the
Certificate s . I expect to have the information required
in the course of a few days, immediately I get it I
will at one forward you the Query Form with Answers. I am sorry for the delay, but as some of the cases
are since 1914 and some of the Constables have been
transferred - others joined the Colours - there is some
delay in getting the information required by you, other-
wise I would have replied to you by return of post. You
may rest assured that I am doing everything possible to
hurry up the matter and comply with your request. I expect to have the details so far as I can in a
few days. I can explain everything myself save the
Car-hire by of Witnesses paid by the Police. Yours faithfully, Louis C. P. Smith.
R. J. Newell, Esq.
Auditor, Local Government Board, Custom House, Dublin.
