Presentation at Cleator Moor

The Whitehaven News - September 7, 1905

PRESENTATION AT CLEATOR MOOR.        On Tuesday afternoon a very interesting ceremony took place at the Cleator Moor Police Station, when Mr. Geo. CURRIE, ex-police officer at Cleator Moor, was recipient of a presentation at the hands of his fellow officers.        There was a good number of officers present, and Inspector IRVING of Whitehaven was asked to make the presentation, which consisted of a beautiful silver mounted Malacca cane walking stick suitably inscribed, a meerschaum pipe and case, a tobacco pouch bearing the recipients initials, and half pound of tobacco, together with two artistically finished views of Cleator Moor for Mrs. CURRIE.        In making the presentation, Inspector IRVING spoke  in eulogistic  terms of ex-constable CURRIE's association  with the Cumberland and Westmoreland  force. He was a man who had always had a full sense of his duty and carried out various offices in a straightforward and gentlemanly manner. On behalf of his fellow officers he had great pleasure in handing the presents to Mr. CURRIE and his good wife, and he was sure he was only voicing the sentiments of all concerned when he wished them long life and happiness to enjoy the presents which he was sure they richly deserved (Applause.)        Mr. CURRIE, who was visibly moved, said that he was indeed very grateful to all who had so handsomely subscribed to the fund which had been made on his and his wife's behalf, and he assured them that no matter where he would be they would always remember them and Cleator Moor with feelings of delight. ******
