Offence: At Ballycastle Petty Sessions yesterday Maud McMullan,
Maghernahare, Ballycastle, charged on remand with the larceny of clothing
from the residence of John McQuillin, Strandview Road, Ballycastle,
was allowed the Probation of Offenders Act. John McCaughan,

Frances Connolly, Magherahoney. Stating that there was a doubt in the case,
Major McLean, R.M., dismissed it on the merits. The Transport Board
prosecuted Daniel Stewart, Market Street, Armoy, for conveying by his
lorry to Ballymena for hire or reward the carcases of four pigs, the
property of Robert Campbell, without the Board's consent. A fine of
£2 10s with £2 2s costs was imposed. - "Wit and Humour" Mr. William Hutton

Sentenced to Seven Years Penal Servitude, Arrested in London: At the Belfast
City Commission yesterday, William McAllister, no fixed address, was
convicted of treason felony, and was sentenced to seven years' penal

McAllister was one of the leaders of the I.R.A. Insurrection. The
charge, which was framed on an Act of Parliament of 1848 and took ten
minutes to read, was, in effect, that the accused, with divers other
evilly-disposed persons, feloniously and wickedly did compass, imagine,
invent, devise and intend to deprive ...? - War Bonus, Increases to Operate

- The Property Market, Prices Well Maintained in Belfast, Not affected
by War Loan - The announcement of the new defence loan did not adversely
affect the disposal of house property in Belfast this week. The two public
auctions previously announced were carried out successfully and the prices
were well maintained. The interest offered on defence loan investments is
not sufficient, in the opinion of some of the estate agents, to attract
those who normally look to house property as a safe security. This view
found expression yesterday at an auction conducted by T. S. Martin & Son, 12
College Square East, Belfast. There was a good attendance and the keen
competition left the auctioneer little difficulty in effecting a total
clearance. Parlour houses at 22-28 Walmer Street, each let at 6s. 3d per
week free, and showing a profit rent of £39 11s 10d, realised £580, while
those at 2-20 Walmer Street (profit rent, £123 2s 8d), were sold at £1,550.
W. M. Carson & Co., 37 Rosemary Street, auctioned for £935 five terrace
houses, 20-28 Edlingham Street, producing a profit rent of £77 18s 2d.
Two fee-farm rents of £6 each issuing out of 7 and 9 Charnwood Avenue,
Belfast, fetched £245. There are some interesting announcements for early in
December. J. D. Martin & Co., Chichester Street, Belfast (and
Lisburn), auctioned this week a 34 statute acre farm at Tullynore,
Hillsborough, for £900, and another, comprising 18 stature acres, at
Ballylurgan, Randalstown, for £500. Mr. Henry Montgomery, of Bangor,
sold a 40 acre farm at Whitechurch, Ballywalter, for £1,460. The Sloanstown
(Carrowdore) farm did not reach its reserve, and is still on the market for
private offers. Forthcoming Auctions: Walter Malcolm, At the
Auctioneers' Institute, Royal Avenue, Belfast, 12 noon on December 6;
trustees' sale of investment lots and detached residence. T. S. Martin
& Son, At the Avenue Hall Mart, 4 Lower Garfield Street, Belfast, 12 noon on
December 8; profit ground rent and licensed house and premises. J. A.
McClelland & Sons, at Kilgreal, Templepatrick, 2 p.m. on November 27; small
farm and premises. At Inver, Larne, 2-30 p.m. on December 6; freehold farm

5) Covered with Paraffin, She Sets Herself Alight: The theory was
advanced at a Birmingham inquest to-day that a woman had poured paraffin
over herself, lit it, and become a human torch. The woman, Sarah Jane
Bradbury ??, a widow, of Ward End, Park Road, Birmingham, was stated to have
been found badly burned and dead in a back room with a table blocking the
door. A bottle of paraffin and some matches were in the room. The police
surgeon, Dr. Fraser Allen, said that the woman had only part of her clothing
on, having taken off the ? and placed it on the table, which was against the
door. His conclusion was that she poured paraffin over herself and then lit
it about the level of her knees. The Coroner (Dr. W. H. Davison) That would
make her a torch? Yes, sir. she was in a standing position and as a
result her head and face got the worst of it. The room was not set on fire
because there was nothing near the woman to catch and as the window was
closed the fire was probably choked by lack of oxygen. The verdict of
suicide while of unsound mind was returned. - SPORT various articles
including: Jockey Dies After Race, Collapse in Dressing Room: While the
crowd at Hexham-on-Tyne steeplechases were watching the parade for the third
race on Monday, Frederick William Watson (27) a jockey, who had ridden
Montclaim for third place in the second race, collapsed in the dressing room
and died. Watson was attached to Mr. J. A. Lilley's stable at Duffield,
Derby.
