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.'
