A series of letters between the Administrative Area Officer, Royal Hospital Dublin
and the Chief Crown Solicitor, Dublin Castle concerning an injury sustained by Patrick
Sheehan while he was working as a casual labourer employed by the Forage Department
to handle hay, oats and straw. The series of letters concerns possible compensation
as this was an injury sustained at work.
This letter is from Captain Black explaining how Patrick Sheehan slipped while carrying
sacks and dislocated his ankle. Cpt. Black then advised Patrick Sheehan to put his
claim in writing.
