EX-CONSTABLE CARMODY The death has occurred of ex-Con-stable Patrick John Carmody, at his residence in Gittos Street, Parnell, at the age of 76 years. A highlyrespected and popular former member of the Police Force, the death of Mr. Carmody is being deeply felt by many of the older members of the force, with whom he was associated. Born in County Clare, Ireland, Mr. Carmody left his home for Tasmania 'when a boy. He later came to New Zealand to join the Police Force and was stationed at Dunedin and later at Outrim and Whangaroa, where he retired on superannuation.
