Condition: V.G. p.p. 196. Small folio. Recent marbled boards. Moroc. label. Further enquiry into the treatment of following Irish political prisoners at Chatham: James McKevitt, James McGrath, Thomas Gallagher, Albert Whitehead, Henry Wilson, John Curtin, Timothy Featherstone, Patrick Flanagan, Henry Dalton, James McCullagh, Thomas Devany, Peter Callaghan, Henry McCann, Terence McDermott, James F. Egan, John Daly, Harry Burton, James G. Gilbert, John Duff, Thomas Callan and Michael Harkins. Among the Irish complaints were their treatment as special prisoners, their hostile treatment by the lower officers, fostered by the authorities. Prisoner Wilson stated "The bitter hatred of the average Chatham officer for the Irish Fenian makes itself felt in a thousand ways and we are all ill treated by the lower officers because they know that they can do so with impunity. The overall conclusion of this comprehensive report was worthy of Widgery whose Whitewash Report a century later was just one of many produced by the British establishment over four hundred years in relation to the "Irish Question and which invariably ruled strongly in favour of the Empire against the wiles of "Duplicitous Pat".
