THEIRISHPOLICEANDFREI:MASONRY.
RecentlyaletterappearedintheFreeman's JournalurgingontheGovernmentthe desirabilityofforbiddingmembersofthe Irishconstabularytobecomemembersofthe FreemasonSecretSociety.Itwasstated thatapolicemanwhohadjoinedthesociety couldnotwelldohisdutyinthecaseofa brotherMasonaccusedofcrime;and,moreover,itwaschargedthatsomehowmembershipofthesociety"createdahatefulpatronageintheraDksoftheservicet"which means,Isuppose,thatpolicemenarepromotedbecausetheyareFreemasons.The lettercamefromamemberoftheforce,and itwasansweredbyanothermemberofthe force-aMason-who,however,contented himselfwithaveryvaguedenial.Thisis aseriousmatter,andImayaddthatIhave frequentlyheardthatFreemasonshavebeen undulyfavouredinthematterofpromotion insome,atleast,oftheGovernmentoffices inDublin.
