Police Constable Faherty states that his brother is 23 years of age, of powerful build but only 5 ft. 6¼ inches height.

This candidate might be inspected by Sergeant Moffatt who lives in the County Donegal.

There are at present at home on leave Sergeants Robertson, Moffatt and McIver and as I anticipate difficulty in getting any from Police Force, I beg to recommend that the Crown Agents be requested to call upon these Sergeants to recommend one candidate of good physique and educational attainments and of exemplary character.
