The Chief Commissioner of Police,
Dublin Castle. Dublin Castle 26th October, 1916. Madam, I am directed by the Chief Commissioner of Police to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 24th instant,
and to state that British subjects are only required to fill
in Nos. 1,2, 3 and 7 on form of Registration (specimen enclosed
in your letter returned herewith.) Mrs. Schmutz was not told
that she should require you to fill in Nos. 10,11 and 12. The visits paid by Sergt. Megahy and Const. Devine to
Mrs. Schmutz were made in consequences of breaches of Aliens
Regulations on the part of Mrs. Schmutz, and it was only on
account of your omission to fill in No. 7 on form that you
were referred to. Beyond pointing out to her that No. 7 had not been
filled in as required , the officers concerned state that no reference
was made to you, nor were any further questions asked regarding
your movements. No enquiry was made relative to your luggage,
furniture or the name under which you travelled. Sergt. Ahern, to whom you refer, states that he called to
see you on several occasions (perhaps four times in all) with
reference to enquiries which he was making in regard to your
missing property, but he made no enquiry beyond what was
necessary for the purpose of tracing the property. Mrs. O'Brien was not interviewed by the Police, and has
not been subjected to annoyance by them. I am,
Madam,
Your obedient Servant, W. A. Wallis Secretary Mrs. Hanna Sheehy Skeffington, 43 Moyne Road, DUBLIN.
