I Will Marry Him, Charge of Abduction, Remarkable Coleraine
Case, A special court was held in Coleraine Town Hall on Thursday -
before Mr. James McCormick, J.P. - at which a young man named James
McIntyre, living at Chimney Hills, Portstewart, appeared in custody
charged with the abduction of Bridget Bradley, a girl under 18 years.
District-Inspector Irwin prosecuted, and Mr. W. J. Smith, solicitor,
Coleraine, represented the defendant. There was an unusual degree of
interest in the case owing to the fact that Bradley is a Roman Catholic
and McIntyre a Protestant. Rose Ann Bradley, mother of the girl, who
belongs to Carrowkeel, Co. Donegal, stated that her daughter had been at
service in the Portstewart district for the last twelve months. She was
just 18 years of age on the 2nd inst. Her allegation was that on the
18th November, 1911, McIntyre took the girl away against her will and
without permission of witness, who was her lawful guardian.
Cross-examined by Mr. Smith, Mrs. Bradley said she came to Portstewart
in consequence of a letter which she had received from Father
O'Rafferty, who told her that her daughter was living with the
McIntyres. On arriving in Portstewart witness made no complaint to
anyone there that her daughter was being kept by the McIntyres against
her will. Sergeant Osborough, Portstewart, stated that when defendant
was arrested in his father's house at Chimney Hills and given the usual
caution, he said:- "I did not take her away. She came herself, and we
intend to get married soon." Permission was refused Mr. Smith to examine
the girl, District-Inspector Irwin objecting, but a note was taken of
Mr. Smith's application. Defendant was remanded to the Coleraine Petty
Sessions on bail - himself in £20, and two sureties of £10 each. While a
discussion was going on as to whether Mrs. Bradley should have charge of
her daughter pending the hearing of the case, the girl exclaimed,
passionately - "I won't go back to my mother. I want to stay with him. I
want to marry him, and I won't leave him." "You see you wouldn't allow
me to examine her, and now it is coming out." Mr. Smith remarked. "I
will marry him, and if they don't let me it will be worse for themselves
some other way. I want to take him, and he didn't keep me," the girl
further observed. "He didn't keep you against your will?" Mr. Smith
queried. "No, I went myself," she replied. District-Inspector Irwin
objected to any record being made of the girl's statement, and Mr.
McCormick said the case was closed. Mr. Smith, however, declared that if
the girl wanted to make a statement, she was entitled to do it, and if
she came to his office he would take a note of her statement.
District-Inspector Irwin - Very well; I cannot interfere.
Shipping Casualties, The County Down Stranding - An examination of the

A County Down Appeal Case - In the King's Bench Division,
before Mr. Justice Gibson and Mr, Justice Kenny, in the case of the King
(George McDowell) v. the Justices of County Down, Mr. Bartley
(instructed by Mr. Edward O'Hagan) applied for a writ of certiorari to
being up for the purpose of same being quashed a conviction of George
McDowell, of Longhans, Co. Down, before the magistrates at Gilford Petty
Sessions, on 30th ult., when he was charged with having been found drunk
and disorderly on the public street at Gilford. Counsel submitted that
the offence was ambiguous, and he contended that the word "disorderly,"
having been introduced, vitiated the conviction. He stated that the
offence purported to be grounded on the 12th section of the Licensing
Act., 1872, and that section only referred to the offence of drunkenness
and disorderly conduct. The magistrates convicted McDowell and fined him
in a penalty applicable to the case of a second conviction, or on
default to be imprisoned for one month. He also argued that the
conviction should have stated that the magistrates convicting were
acting for the County Down. Counsel put forward further objections to
the conviction which, he submitted, could not stand. The court granted a
conditional order of certiorari.
