Foreword. Since the beginning of the twentieth century fresh
interest has been aroused in our local history, and many articles have
been written on its topography and prominent townsmen by men of a later
day. The interesting series to follow gives a unique picture of Belfast
streets and people from 1795 to about 1810 by a man who lived in those
picturesque and variegated times. These articles, written during
the years 1868 and 1869, described a town and state of society that had
at that time largely passed away. Since then another two generations
have come and gone. The mechanisation of industry has proceeded with
ever increasing rapidity, resulting in the enormous expansion of the
city and its population, which necessitates explanatory notes to many,
even of the 1868-1869 references. John Smyth, the writer, then
approaching his ninetieth year, could remember the Volunteers, and was
rising into manhood in the eventful times of '98. Combined with a
splendid memory he had all the garrulity of old age, and much fustian
and uninteresting matter has been omitted, but nothing of consequence to
the social history or topography of old Belfast. He passed away October
4, 1869.
The map herewith reproduced
CLICK image and it opens in a new window
should be preserved for convenience of reference. A word of caution must
be given regarding the numbering of shops and houses. Owing to
improvements, alterations and rebuilding, numbers have changed, in some
cases three or four times, so that the numbers given in the earliest
directory known to the writer - that of 1809 - and those of a much later
date, are very far from being the numbers of to-day.
CHAPTER ONE - Topographical description of Belfast in
1795.
A walk from the Old Poorhouse, situated at the head of
Donegall Street, through Carrickhill and Millfield, Barrack Street, and
out on to the Dublin Road; from thence along what was then called the
1
Mall-ditch, and by the front of the Linen Hall to Arthur Street; from
Arthur Street to the back of the
2
Green Row, occupied by Ann Street, and
on to the Long Bridge; from the bridge along the quay to the
3
Old Custom House, and from thence through Prince's Street to the foot of
the old dock in High Street; from High Street to Skipper Street and from
thence to 4
Ritchie's Dock and through Patrick Street to the
Old Poorhouse - this walk would have completed the circuit of Belfast in
1795. Outside of that line there were no streets whatever; green
fields, wastes and swamps were alone visible. There were green fields
from the rear of Carrickhill to the entrance to Church Street, and on
the other side of Donegall Street gardens occupied the space between Dr.
Bruce's Academy and the Old Poorhouse. Even in North Street, then the
leading street in the town, there were thatched houses, many of which I
remember to have seen removed for the purpose of opening up Church
Street. Thatched houses were not then uncommon. A long wretched row
extended from Academy Street to Great Patrick Street, and in wet weather
a passage through this muddy, swampy lane was a matter of difficult
achievement.
CORN MARKET BARGAINS.
Two of the most fashionable streets of the present day,
Corn Market and High Street, were the rendezvous of buyers and sellers.
Here the country people stood every Friday with their market
commodities, butter, eggs, fowl, etc., and from early morning until all
the goods were disposed a loud chatter of tongues, busy in bargaining
and its attendant controversy, resounded through the streets. The noise
and confusion were the greatest at the corner of Church Street, where
the butter crane stood; for many a quarrel there took place between the
sturdy housewife and the ingenious merchant about quality and weight.
Of the then public buildings, hardly one now remains. They have either
fallen with decay or been converted to other purposes, or, as in the
majority of instances, been replaced by nobler structures. The house now
occupied by the Provincial Bank in Donegall Street is perhaps the only
remarkable one that preserves its original aspect. It was erected
by the celebrated
5
Dr. (recte-- Mr. David Manson) Manson, who lived
there and conducted the famous academy which acquired a national
reputation, not only for the excellence of the education imparted in it
but from the standard works of its principal, which yet hold their place
(1868) in many of our schools. David Manson educated most of the leading
citizens of the town and many of the remarkable men who left their mark
upon the age in which he lived. His varied attainments as a
scholar were only second to his urbanity as a gentleman and his
rectitude as a Christian. All classes respected him, and when death
called him away, his admirers assembled and insisted on
6
burying him with torch light. The vivid
scene comes back to me with the fresh recollection of yesterday. The
slow, measured tread of the vast multitude, the lights, almost endless
in their profusion, waving and flickering and stretching out a lurid
flame in which the dark pall of the coffin glistened as with a ruby hue,
the faces thrust out of the windows to see the procession pass and the
shadows flung upon them by the moving lights - ah, these were the times
when there were faith and friendship, and appreciation of worth amongst
the people of Belfast. But I am anticipating events, and I must return
to "my mutton" - to use a phrase not in vogue in my schoolboy days.
BALLYMACARRETT'S MUD.
Within the circuit I have described as forming the
boundaries of Belfast towards the close of the 18th century but few
notable changes have taken place. Many find buildings have been erected
- splendid shops and magnificent warehouses have taken the place of
smaller and meaner edifices; but the streets themselves in their general
outline and appearance are not much altered.
7
North Street, for example, remains almost as it was, and the houses once
occupied by prominent men are but slightly, if at all, changed. There is
another locality which though strictly speaking does not belong to
Belfast preserves with wonderful fidelity its identity - I allude to
8
Ballymacarrett. Then, as now, the receptacle of mud, thought not then,
as now, the abode of poverty and distress. It was inhabited by a colony
of weavers, famous in the annals of Belfast for exploits to which I
shall have occasion more than once to allude. It had flourishing glass
works and other branches of trade; but though money was plentiful, dirt
equally abounded, and the wretched cabins of these old times seem to
have escaped the ravages to which more pretentious buildings have
succumbed. Beyond Ballymacarrett the open country spread far and wide,
and our little Brighton - Holywood - was but a small village of thatched
houses, neat and clean as usual, and the rendezvous of pleasure-seekers
whenever time permitted or fancy insisted on a holiday. The opposite
shore, however, had the most attraction for sight-seers, and the
Carrickfergus Road, with its half-way villages of Greencastle and
Whitehouse and its panorama of groves and villas, was thronged on
Sundays with crowds of the middle and labouring classes in search of
recreation or health.
PRIDE TO THE NATION.
Though as from the description I have given of its
extent, Belfast was in size and population a comparatively unimportant
town, yet at the close of the [18th] century and for years before it, it
held a prominent position and its name was a source of pride to the
nation. This was chiefly attributed to the esprit of its inhabitants,
who cultivated literature and took a lively interest in the great
political events of the day. The title of "Modern Athens" is not of
recent origin, and when it was conferred it was well deserved. In no
other town in Ireland was education so fostered, and that, too,
education of the highest order. Various
9
literary societies were established and
flourished with remarkable vigour. There was a Press conducted with rare
independence and ability, and there were numerous clubs in which the
fire of patriotism, the sense of dignity and the instincts of
untarnished honour were sustained by the mutual interests of congenial
spirits. But these are matters to which I will have to refer in detail,
and if I mention them now, it is because the contrast between the social
aspects of the present and the past is so striking and strange. My
memory carries me back to a town of haughty assumption and political
energy, of active thought, of literary effort; to a town of clubs
and coteries in which the leading spirits aimed at dictation and scorned
to be controlled by the mere mandated answer?; to a town in which the
Volu? ..ound their arms and amid the clang? of trumpets and the roll of
drums sent forth the declarations that electrified the land; to a town
in which the kindliest social feeling was allied to the greatest
personal independence; to a town, too, of sad turmoil and confusion,
with a licentious soldiery parading the streets, a grinning gallows
pining in the thoroughfare, and a spiked head withering away on the
hangman's pedestal of honour. I now see a
10
city (recte town), quadruple in extent
in the time from which in such a short space it has sprung, with
spacious streets and noble marts and all the evidences of wealth, but
with trade predominant over all things - over mind and spirit and
ambition and zeal.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Notes:- (1)
The Mall Ditch. - This was a mound or bank of considerable dimensions
extending from about the front railing of the Royal Academical
Institution to what was known as the saltwater bridge where Sandy Row
crosses the Blackstaff River.
(2)
Green Row. - A portion of Ann Street was formerly called "the Back of
the Green." This applied to the part of Ann Street and Church Lane, to
the rere of the tenements which fronted High Street, and reached to the
water. According to tradition a ferry was in operation near the end of
the present Ann Street, and the green is mentioned as being held by the
person who managed the boat. This was before the Long Bridge was built.
(Benn I. 547.) A more feasible explanation of the term "Back of the
Green" would seem to be that it refers to the back of what was in the
seventeenth century the back of the parish church (now St. George's)
yard, which in country districts if still called "the green."
(3)
Old Custom House. - Now numbers 42 and 43 Donegall Quay, Messrs. G. & J.
Burns' Shipping Office.
(4)
Ritchie's Dock. - Occupied about the site of the present Corporation
Square, or, rather the north side of it. It was only capable of
receiving boats and sloops. In 1848-9 the Town Dock, Lime Kiln Dock, and
Ritchie's Dock were filled up consequent on the improvement and
extension of Donegall Quay.
(5)
Provincial Bank in Donegall Street. - This house was built by the then
famous schoolmaster, David Manson, for the purpose of his school during
1767-68. He had got settled in it by July 1, 1768, as appears from an
advertisement. Here he remained till 1782, when he removed to the house
at the corner of Donegall Street and Waring Street. Manson's first house
in Donegall Street became, it is said, the residence of Robert Gemmell,
a wealthy muslin manufacturer. It was from 1827 used as the Belfast
office of the Provincial Bank of Ireland until they erected their
present handsome premises at the head of Hercules Street (now Royal
Avenue), which were opened in 1870. The house was then taken by A.
Harper & Co., by whom it was occupied as a furniture warehouse, until it
was burned down January 30, 1891. The present building, No. 36 Donegall
Street, was then erected on its site.
FUNERALS AT NIGHT.
(6)
David Manson buried by torchlight. - Funerals at night in Belfast were
not uncommon during the eighteenth century. Two entries from the
"Presbyterian Burial Registry" (First Presbyterian Church, Rosemary
Street) may be cited in confirmation:- Nov. 3, 1717. - "Mr. Gamble was
buried that same night that they called for them" [funeral cloaks]. "On
Wednesday night last interred in the Churchyard (High Street) in a
private genteel manner, the corpse of the late Mr. Samuel Halliday."
"The practice of night burying among some Belfast families reached into
the nineteenth century." (Benn I. 589.) "For often through the
silent nights A funeral with plumes and lights, And music, went to
Camelot." Tennyson: The Lady of Shalott.
(7)
North Street. - This street, both upper and lower, has been widened
since then. At the time that Smyth wrote, and for long after, "North
Street on a Saturday night" was one of the sights shown to country
cousins on a visit to Belfast.
(8)
Ballymacarrett. - The works alluded to were Ben Edward's Glass Works,
whose chimney is still to be seen; Coates's Foundry and Starch
Manufactory; Ekenhead's Rope Works; Shannon's Vitriol Works; Batt's Salt
Works, and McCullough's Lime Works. The march of improvement in
Ballymacarrett since 1868 has been as great as elsewhere in Belfast.
(9)
Belfast Society for Promoting Knowledge, founded in 1788, now better
known as the "Linenhall Library." Belfast Literary Society, formed in
1801. A Philosophical Society formed: rooms in North Street, afterwards
in Waring Street, 1806. Cosmographical Society, 1811.
(10)
City quadrupled. - Population in 1791, 18,320; population in 1871,
174,395. Population of greater Belfast in 1934, about half a million.
Three Short Stories at bottom of the page:-
HONOUR FOR ANNALONG MAN, Long Service Medal: Commander
P. V. Kilgour, inspector of H.M. Coastguards in Northern Ireland, on his
visit to Annalong exercised the Life Saving Apparatus Company and
presented Mr. Joseph McStay with the Long Service Medal. Commander
Kilgour, in presenting the medal, said it was a very fine thing for a
man to belong to a Life Saving Company for 20 years, ready at any time,
whatever the weather conditions, to go out and try and save life.
FARMHOUSE BURNED DOWN, Outbreak at Augher: A farmhouse
at Mullaghmore (near Augher), the property of Mr. William Giles, was
burned down on Tuesday afternoon. It was first discovered by a labourer
in the employment of the owner, both of whom were carting hay at some
distance from the place. Despite their efforts, the flames, which had
secured a firm hold, spread quickly along the thatch, and soon the whole
dwelling was enveloped. The fire started in the kitchen and it is
believed that a wooden beam in the chimney became alight. Most of the
furniture was saved.
DONEGAL MAN DIES IN CHINA, Shanghai Police Chief:
Intimation has been received of the death of Mr. James Hunter (45), late
superintendent of the Shanghai Municipal Police force. He was a son of
the late Mr. Robert Hunter, Milford, Co. Donegal. He joined the Shanghai
Municipal Police in 1911, being appointed superintendent, attached to
the Crime Department in 1933.

Medal for Wolfhound, Saved Life of Mountaineer, Grenoble. Betty, a
magnificent wolf hound, the mascot of the 99th Infantry Regiment, who
saved the life of a mountain climber named Rudelle, was awarded a silver
medal and diploma before her regiment, which was drawn up in the barrack
square. Last March Rudelle broke his leg in the Galiber Mountains. A
rescue party from the 99th Regiment reached him, but were unable to
bring him back owing to blizzards. They left provisions and the dog
Betty in order to keep him warm. The rescue party returned to the base
with two soldiers severely frost bitten. The next day a second party was
defeated by the blizzards. The third day another expedition reached
Rudelle at nightfall. They were amazed to find him still alive with the
faithful Betty lying across his body. After spending the night in the
mountain, the rescuers successfully effected the dangerous descent.
Betty herself suffered from frost bite. After a message from the General
Commanding in the area congratulating the rescuers, a silver medal was
attached to Betty's collar and military honours were rendered by a band.

Man's Fall From Bridge, Police Investigating Cardiff Mystery. Looking
out of her bedroom window early yesterday a woman saw a man hanging
apparently by his hands from the parapet of the new Leckwith Bridge at
Cardiff. She aroused her husband, who, on going out, found that the man
had fallen 32 feet below. The man, who was dead, was identified as Edgar
Barron (53), a transport worker, of Tudor Street, Canton, Cardiff. His
injuries, apart from a dislocated hip, were confined to his face.
Intensive inquiries followed as to Barron's movements on Saturday night,
and police considered the possibility that he might have been involved
in a quarrel which would account for the injuries on his face. A
pathological examination has been ordered.

- Family's Escape from Fire, Child Lowered to the Ground. Six members of
a family had to leave their house by first floor windows when a fire
broke out in Rowbotham Street, Miles Platting, Manchester, yesterday.
The house was occupied by Mr. Robert William Jones, his wife, their
children, Alice (23), Mary (20), Robert (16), and their grandchild, Lucy
(8). Alice and Mary dropped from their bedroom in the front of the
house, and Lucy was lowered to them. Mr. and Mrs. Jones and Robert
climbed from a back room window to an outhouse and to the ground. None
of them was injured apart from slight cuts and bruises. Considerable
damage was done to the house, and the occupants of nearby houses,
throwing coats over their night clothes, left their homes as a
precaution.

Fermanagh, Four Men Sent to Jail at Lisnaskea. Seven men appeared on
nine poteen charges at Lisnaskea Petty Sessions on Saturday. Of the
seven, four were sent to jail, one was heavily fined, and the charges
against two were dismissed. William Lyttle, Coolnasallagh, was sent to
jail for three months for having in his possession two gallons of
illicit spirits. Evidence was given that when the police were on Customs
duty early in the morning they saw Lyttle with something bulky
underneath his coat. He ran on seeing them and a delph jar dropped,
which was found to contain poteen. Mr. Patterson, solicitor, said Lyttle
yielded to temptation thinking he could get money for the poteen to buy
artificial manure for his farm. Thomas Clifford, Cornacrieve, was sent
to jail for three months, for having possession of a still, stillhead
and we gallons of wash, which was found in the house where he resided.
It was stated that he told the police that he was making a drop for his
mother who was 83 years of age and confined to bed. He said he made a
drop for her now and again because it "kept the life in her." John
McMahon, Carbane, was sentenced to three months' imprisonment for having
possession of 20 gallons of wash. James Smyth, Drumawinter, was ordered
three months' imprisonment with hard labour, and fined £10 for using a
still and still-head and worm and having an interest in the still. He
did not appear. Patrick McMahon, Eshnadilla, charged with having in his
possession one glass of illicit spirits, was fined £10. Evidence was
given that he was drunk with a bottle in his pocket which he at first
said contained methylated spirits, but afterwards admitted contained
poteen. McMahon said that he got the stuff as a present when returning
to his home from town. Charges against James Wallace, Carrownaculla, for
having an interest in 30 gallons of wash, and Francis McGrory, Eshmeen,
for having the thirty gallons of wash in his possession, were dismissed.
All the cases were heard by Major Dickie, R.M., and Captain Gosselin,

- Death from Anthrax, Infection in a Shaving Brush: A remarkable story
of how a man met his death through shaving with an anthrax infected
shaving brush, which was only one of a consignment of 12, which the
Medical Officer of Health had tried to trace, was told at Camberwell
Coroner's Court yesterday. Dr. A. G. Thompson, medical officer,
said the shaving brushes were received at Lambeth from Stepney three
years ago. Six went to one shop and six to another. He was able to seize
them all but one, which had been sold. He had been expecting a tragedy
for the last three years. The unfortunate owner of the twelfth brush was
John Banks, aged 50, boot repairer, who died from anthrax infection
after squeezing a pimple while shaving. A verdict of accidental death
was returned.
Bigamist Bound Over on Condition he Supports his Wife:
George Harry Badham (34), insurance agent, who pleaded guilty at
Birmingham Assizes yesterday to committing bigamy, was bound over to be
of good behaviour on condition that he supported his invalid wife for
the rest of her life. "I am looking at this case from a humane
standpoint" said Mr. Justice Goddard. It was stated that Badham's wife
was a confirmed invalid, and that last year he met a barmaid with whom
he went through a form of marriage last April. All the time he had
supported his wife.
Once Sentenced to be Shot, Man Sent to Prison for
House-breaking: A man who while in the Army was sentenced to be shot as
a deserter was, at Blackburn Quarter Sessions yesterday, sentenced to 21
months' hard labourer for housebreaking. He was Francis Cross (38),
canvasser, of no fixed abode. It was stated that Cross joined the Army
in September, 1914, and in April, 1917, he was sentenced to 10 years'
penal servitude for desertion while on active service. In December of
the same year he was sentenced to be shot for a similar offence. The
sentence was commuted to one of 15 years' penal servitude, and in 1920
the rest of the term was remitted. Since then Cross had been convicted
of stealing, assaulting the police, receiving, and burglary. He was last
released from prison in June, 1935.
Prisoner Who Lost His Temper, Withdrawal of Statement
Leads to Man's Acquittal: Arthur Ernest Busby (29), of Granby Place,
Lower Marsh, Lambeth, London, was found not guilty at Salisbury Quarter
Sessions yesterday of a charge of having been concerned with others in a
raid on the West End sub-post office, Salisbury, on 3rd March and
stealing a safe and contents value £59 15s 11½d and 4s 3d in money. John
Thomas Barnett, of London, who at the previous Quarter Sessions, pleaded
guilty to a similar charge, and had made a statement implicating Busby,
was brought from Winchester Prison to give evidence. Barnett said that
everything he had said concerning Busby was untrue. He heard that Busby
made a statement implicating him so he, in temper, made one implicating
Busby. Busby, who denied the allegations, said that he never went to
Salisbury, and knew nothing about the raid.
Apprentice Prefers Raft, Thursday Island: An
apprentice, Bertil Hjelmstrom, left the windjammer, C. B. Pedersen, on
Wednesday evening with all his belongings on board a raft. The ship was
then in Torres Strait. No one saw his departure, and a search on
Thursday proved fruitless. It is thought that he is endeavouring to
reach Steves Island, intending to return to Melbourne. Three days after
the C. B. Pedersen left Melbourne a girl stowaway was found on board.

- Military Tribunal Challenged, Counsel's Protest at Murder Trial, The

Dundalk bomb outrage challenged the composition of the Dublin Military
Tribunal yesterday when he made his speech for one of the accused.
Five men - James Finnegan, Castletown Road; Bernard Murphy, Hill Street;
Richard Goss, Long Avenue; Thomas Walsh, Long Avenue; and Eamon Coffey,
of the Demesne - are charged with the murder of Mrs. McGrory, who was
injured in the explosion at her home. Speaking for Coffey, Mr.
Kingsmill-Moore, K.C., submitted that there was no evidence to make a
case for his client to answer. His defence was that he was not present
in the Sinn Fein rooms on the night in question; that he did not make
the remark alleged; and that he had no knowledge that the offence was
about to be committed. "I protest," said counsel, "against men
being brought before you on a case of such seriousness when you are not
given the assistance of a Judge Advocate General. Entitled to
Fairness" CLICK 4 to read full article.

"Lawrence's" Mother, Return to England After Trip to
China: Mrs. Lawrence, the mother of "Lawrence of Arabia," who recently
met his death in a motor cycle accident in Dorsetshire, reached England
yesterday. She arrived at Tilbury in the s.s. Antenor, after making the
trip from the missionary station 2,000 miles up the Yangtse River, in
China, where she had been living with her eldest son the Rev. Robert
Lawrence, who is a missionary doctor of the China Inland Mission. He
came home with her. They has already started their journey home when
Lawrence met his death. Mr. Arnold W. Lawrence, the youngest son, who is
an archaeologist at Cambridge University, met his mother when the boat
docked. "My mother will stay in London and then will be staying with
various friends of ours in different parts of the country, mostly in the
Midlands," he said. Mrs. Lawrence is 73 years of age, and in frail
health.
Oarsmen's Car Smash, Members of the Cambridge Crew Have
Narrow Escapes in Germany, Frankfort. Five members of the Cambridge
University rowing eight had a narrow escape when a car in which they
were driving through the Tamus Mountains cashed (crashed) over a steep
embankment and overturned. All the occupants escaped unhurt. The
oarsmen, who are the eight that defeated Oxford in this year's boat
race, and have brought the same boat, went out for an excursion with a
number of German friends yesterday. On their return to Frankfort the men
showed that they were none the worse by going on the river for a
practice spin in preparation for this week-end regatta. - Reuter.

Laid Fire For His Wife, But With Gunpowder: Alois
Stanek, a peasant at Drnovice, in Moravia, lived on bad terms with his
wife, and she told him she was going to apply for a divorce, says a
Reuter telegram from Prague. A few days later she came downstairs in the
morning, after her husband had gone out, and found that he had
thoughtfully laid the fire for her under the oven. Welcoming this sign
of "improvement," she put a match to the paper and sticks. Immediately
there was a terrific explosion which hurled her across the kitchen. The
room was completely wrecked, she had a remarkable escape from death or
mutilation. Her husband, finding that his plan had miscarried, confessed
to the police that he had laid the fire principally with gunpowder.
Working For Island "King", Bringing Poteen to the
Mainland: When Patrick Watters Cloonagh, was fined £200, mitigated to
£6, at Grange, Co. Sligo, for having a quantity of poteen, he pleaded
that he was working for "the King" of Innismurray
Island, and part of his employment was to bring poteen to the mainland.
He was paid for it, and had to do his work.
Popular R.U.C. Sergeant: Popular with his superior
officers and all ranks of the force, and held in high esteem by members
of the public with whom his duties brought him in contact, Sergeant John
Harvey, station sergeant at Springfield Road R.U.C. station, Belfast,
retired from active duty yesterday, having seen thirty-seven years'
service in the R.I.C. and the R.U.C. He had been at Springfield Road
station since 1907, receiving promotion to station sergeant when the
R.U.C. was formed in 1922. Zealous, efficient and courteous, Sergeant
Harvey proved himself tactful and resourceful under trying
circumstances. He was awarded the King Edward Commemoration Medal, and

Belfast Street Explosions, Three Manhole Covers Blown
Into The Air: An unusual incident, which caused alarm for a few moments,
occurred in Linenhall Street, Belfast, yesterday afternoon. Three loud
explosions, at intervals of less than half a minute, sounded to the few
people who happened to be in the neighbourhood at the time, like
bursting bombs. An eye-witness dashed to a window just before the third
explosion and saw a manhole cover blown nearly fifty feet into the air.
Two other covers were lying on the roadway, and from the three places
smoke and flames were issuing. He telephoned to the Fire Brigade, and
the flames were extinguished. The explosions were caused in some
extra-ordinary manner by the fusing of an underground electric cable. An
electrician came on the scene and cut off the current at the affected
part of the cable. Some damage was done to the pavement.

- Holiday Traffic, Rush to Country and Seaside. Visitors from Free
State: Ulster's transport services were taxed to the limit of their
resources in dealing with the unprecedented July holiday rush which
reached its apex yesterday. Wave after wave of work-free folk travelled
north, south, east and went to make the most of the brilliant sunshine
and to temper the trying heat-wave with sea breezes. The task of the
passenger-carrying companies was complicated and increased by the fact
that the multitudes converging on the various Orange demonstrations were
also unusually large. Record Holiday Crowds. All transport
concerns had made elaborate preparations to cope with record crowds,
every available railway coach and road vehicle being pressed into
service. Routes were covered in duplicate and triplicate, and it is
greatly to the credit of the organisers that, despite some minor
inconveniences in isolated cases, thousands of expectant people were
conveyed in safety to the country and the sea. All through Thursday
night the streets of Belfast rang with the sound of motor horns and the
tingle of bicycle CLICK 8bells, and long before the tram services
commenced yesterday morning jocund parties made the pavements clang as
they walked to rail and 'bus termini and gathered at various rendezvous
of camping parties and excursionists.

Lord Kildare's 'Plane Mishap. Uninjured in Forced
Landing on Welsh Beach: An aeroplane in which Lord Kildare, son and heir
of the Duke of Leinster, was flying yesterday with a passenger from
Dublin to London made a forced landing near Llanelly (South
Wales). In
striking the soft sand on the beach the under0carriage sank, throwing
the 'plane forward, as a result of which the propeller was smashed.
Neither Lord Kildare nor his passenger was injured. School children, who
were camping nearby, ran to assist and helped to drag the 'plane out of
reach of the tide. Subsequently Lord Kildare resumed his journey by
train. Lord Kildare, who is 21 years of age, was injured in a car
accident in Dublin last year when his car crashed into a telegraph pole.
He was in hospital for several days.

Threat to White House, Man's Alleged Letter to Mr.
Roosevelt. Kansas City (Missouri): Jacob M. Bregman, aged 41, an
unemployed telegraph worker, said to be an Englishman, had been arrested
and charged with writing a letter to President Roosevelt containing a
threat to blow up the White House. Bregman is alleged to have told the
officers "I need the help of President Roosevelt. He has helped others,
why should he not help me?" Officials declare that Bregman contended
that he had no intention of attempting to blow up the White House.
Bregman is stated to have come to the United States from England 29
years ago, and to have been unemployed for two years. He said that he

7th column - Farmers' Wives in Riot, Seized Cattle Sale in Co. Cork,
Police Cordon Broken by Attacking Women, Fight at Pound Gates: There was
a fierce riot between farmers' wives and daughters on the one hand, and
police, at Fermoy (Co. Cork), yesterday. It is there that the cattle
seized from farmers who are in arrears with their land annuities are
taken and sold at bi-weekly auctions. There has been a "tug-o'-war on
between the farmers of County Cork and the Government for over a year.
Lately the Government sent a special force of police to County Cork to
insist that the farmers should pay their land annuity arrears. Those who
failed to pay have had their cattle seized by the hundred each week, but
in only a few cases have the farmers bought their animals back, though
they have been sold at "raffle" prices. Wives' Protest.
Yesterday farmers' wives, daughters, and mothers from all over the
county gathered at Fermoy to protest against a sale of seized cattle. A
small section of the women got past the outer cordon of police. There
was a second cordon near the pound gate, which is a disused military
barracks. The 200 women who had broken through demanded entrance to the
pound. They were refused by the posse of police stationed outside the
gate. There were police armed with machine-guns and rifles inside. These
weapons were trained on the crowd, but were not fired. The women
attacked the police and broke the cordon. As they did so one of the
chief officials of the auction drove up in his motor car. The girls
turned their attention to him, and his car was attacked. The police
rushed to his aid, and got him through. They captured a banner from the
women, and then began the real fight. The women returned, wrestled and
fought with the police, and recaptured their banners, amid cheers.
¾-Hour "Battle" The main body of women were kept back all the time
by the outer cordon. For three-quarters of an hour there was a fierce
battle. Women and policemen were knocked down. The police, however, who
took the situation with good humour, got off lightly. Those who were
angry received rough handling. The women battered police with stones,
but of small size, and sods of turf. A Pressman standing at the barrack
gate got a great deal of the fusillade. The police tried to force the
women back repeatedly, but they re-formed, and dashed to the gate. Their
clothes were torn in the fight, and they lost their hats. Several got
minor injuries, and one woman had to be taken to hospital. She was Miss
Mary Dineen, of Dripsey (Co. Cork), but her injuries were not serious.
The police were reinforced, and eight arrests were made. The police
charged with their batons, and cleared the place. The towns-people
closed their shops as a protest against the sale, and attended a meeting
which the women held in The Square later.

- Jury Disagree at Murder Trial, End of the Longford Case, Counsel on
the Identification: After a trial lasting ten days, the jury in Dublin
Criminal Court yesterday disagreed in the County Longford murder charge.
The four accused were - John Reynolds and James Joseph Reynolds
(brothers), John Shanley, Dromod, Co. Leitrim, and William Mulligan,
Longford. The charge arose from the raid at Lisard House,
Edgeworthstown, on 9th February, when Mr. Richard More-O'Ferrall was
shot. Mr. A. O'Connor made the final speech for the defence, "I
suggest," he told the jury, "that the evidence that was produced on
behalf of the State is such that it would be extremely dangerous, even
in an ordinary case of petty larceny or assault, to convict anyone upon
it. He also criticised the procedure at the identification parades.

Agent Who Visited Belfast Sentenced: Howard Hyman Kronick (41), an
American, described as an aircraft representative, living at Oxford
Street, W., and having business premises in Victoria Street, S.W., was
sentenced at Bow Street Police Court, London, yesterday, to 21 days'
imprisonment for having as an alien failed to report his arrival to the
immigration authorities. He was recommended for deportation. Police
Constable Young, of the Aliens' Department, said that Kronick first came
to England in August, 1934. Owing to matters which came to the knowledge
of the Home Office he was told to leave the country. He went to France
and soon afterwards was in Belfast. Counsel for the defence said that
Kronick went to Belfast on important negotiations on behalf of an
American aircraft company. Messrs. Workman, Clark & Co. recommended to
the Ulster Home Office that he be allowed a permit to stay. The Home
Office in Ulster took the view that the work with which he was connected
was of national importance.
no clipping: Leonard McDonald, Christopher Street, was remanded for a
week on bail at Belfast Custody Court yesterday charged with maliciously
breaking three windows in the licensed premises of Thomas McMullan,
Peter's Hill, at 2.10 a.m. on July 12. Head-Constable Kenny, who gave
evidence of arrest, said the damage was estimated at £5 10s.

- How It Regained Freedom From Trout: A spider, having spent some
minutes in the stomach of a trout, regained its freedom in a miraculous
fashion in a stream near Schenectady, New York. The trout, a few minutes
after swallowing the spider, snapped at another succulent tit-bit. At
once he found himself on the end of a fisherman's line. The fisherman
was Dr. Leonard B. Clark, Professor of Biology at Union College,
Schenectady, and when he had landed the trout he opened it to see what
it had eaten. The spider, still in good health, emerged and ran off,
states Reuter.
Tragic End to Joke, Workman Killed by Fall from Crane:
Hauled 30 feet aloft by a steam crane as a joke, Vincent Dolmann, a
workman of Freimann, South Bavaria, fell to the ground and died of his
injuries. The engineer of the crane, which was being used in the
construction of the new German State roads, decided to play a prank on
Dolmann. He "dared" him to grab hold of the crane's hook and let himself
be hauled off the ground. Dolmann accepted and was hauled to the top of
the crane arm. The engineer then stopped his motor and made believe he
could not start again. To his horror when he tried seriously to start it
a few seconds later the motor refused to work. Before a ladder could be
brought Dolmann lost his grip. He died next day of internal injuries.
The engineer, though severely reprimanded for being "fool-hardy and
careless," has now been declared, says Reuter, "not criminally culpable"
by the Munich State Court.

Three People Injured, Car Somersaults near Newry:
Rose McAteer, Ballyholland, and Maggie McCrick Glen, were admitted to
Daisy Hill Hospital, Newry, suffering from shock and cuts received in a
motor-car accident at Tinker Hill, Newry. The car in which they were
travelling was driven by a brother of Rose McAteer. It is thought the
steering gear became locked, with the result that the car twice executed
a somersault, and one of the women was flung through the roof. The
driver sustained a severe cut on the head, but was able to leave
hospital after the wound had been stitched. The car was wrecked. The
injured woman had a comfortable night.
Two Cyclists Injured: James O'Neill, employed at
Ballysallagh House, and James Aire, Rathgael Cottages, Ballyvernott,

Their bicycles came into collision with a motor car. They were both
knocked on to the road and were conveyed to the surgery of Dr. Bowman
and afterwards motored to their homes. Both bicycles were badly damaged.

- A Monstrous Sentence, Judge's Comments in Case of a Girl: "We cannot
conceive what court could have given such a sentence as six months'
imprisonment for such a first offence by a girl of that age," said Sir
Percival Clarke, the chairman, at London Sessions yesterday, announcing
the success of the appeal of Evelyn Gibbs (18), of Oldbury, Staffs. Miss
Gibbs, who when before the police court gave the name of Peggy Blonde,
was sentenced by the Marylebone magistrate (Mr. Claud Mullins) to six
months' imprisonment for obtaining credit to the amount of 1s 8d by
means of fraud. It was stated that the girl, who had left her home in
Smethwick and arrived in London that day, after having a meal at an
Oxford Street restaurant, told the manageress she had lost her purse and
could not pay, and then gave a false name and address. Announcing the
decision on the appeal, Sir Percival added: "In our view, this is one of
the clearest possible cases in which the Probation of Offenders Act
ought to have been put into use. "We allow the appeal and vary the order
of it by substituting for the sentence of six months' imprisonment an
order that she should be bound over for two years in the sum of £10, to
come up for judgment if called upon." Legal Arguments.

Omagh Hospital Over-Run With Rats, Mongoose to Be Tried: It was reported
at the monthly meeting of the Joint Committee of Management of Tyrone
and Fermanagh Mental Hospital in Omagh yesterday that the institution
was over-run with rats. A female patient killed one with a crutch, the
Matron had seen fifteen or sixteen in one room, and a female patient had
been bitten on the head in bed. Dr. J. Moore Johnston, medical
superintendent, stated that during the past year over £20 had been spent
on rat poison. The rats relished the poison and thrived on it. He
suggested that the Committee should purchase a couple of mongooses to
exterminate the rats. A mongoose could be purchased at 45s, or four for
£8 8s. It was decided to purchase two of the mongooses for a trial.

Belfast, was killed by the falling of a bank, in a sand pit. Perceiving
the bank giving way, he called out to a man working near him to make his
escape. The man, who was a little farther from the bank, escaped, though
he was struck and somewhat hurt by the falling earth. The young man,
however, was instantaneously overwhelmed. He was speedily dug out; but
life had been, at once, extinguished.

Joy-Riding Charge, Londonderry Man Sentenced: At Londonderry Petty
Sessions yesterday Robert Pickett, Walker's Square, was sentenced to a
month's imprisonment for driving away a car, the property of Ronald
Reid, St. Columb's Wells, without the consent of the owner, and a
month's imprisonment for driving the car without an insurance policy,
the sentences to run concurrently, and to rule charges of reckless
driving, driving without a licence, failing to stop when requested, not
giving a signal when turning to the right, and committing malicious
damage to the car. Constable Frizell said he saw the car going down
Nelson Street at 40 m.p.h., and people, including children, had to run
to the foot-path to get out of the way. He and another constable tried
to stop the car, but it came straight at him, and he had to jump out of
the way. He recognised the driver as Pickett. Pickett said he went to
bed at 9.30 p.m. that night, and was awakened by four policemen at 1.30
a.m. He could not start a car.

offices. It was pointed out that the counsel on both sides could agree
to go on with 11 of the jury, and this course was adopted. The woman
member of the jury then left the box.

More O'Ferrall Murder Trial, Jury Disagree After Lengthy Hearing, The
Dundalk Case, Five Men Before the Tribunal: After a hearing lasting ten
days, the jury in the Edgeworthstown murder trial disagreed at the
Central Criminal Court, Dublin, yesterday and were discharged. The four
men who were on trial accused of having been concerned in causing the
death of Mr. Richard More O'Ferrall were put back. Defence An
Alibi. The trial took place before Mr. Justice Johnston, and the
four men, John Reynolds, James Joseph Reynolds, brothers, and John
Stanley and William Mulligan, pleaded not guilty. The defence in each
case was an alibi. Counsel yesterday made their final speeches to the
jury, and for the defence it was claimed that no evidence had been
produced to connect the accused with the crime. The Judge in his
summoning up said, "This is a particularly abominable crime. No war,
whether civil or uncivil, is being waged in this country which might
form a shadow of excuse for a crime of this character." The Jury retired
at 6.30, and at 8.35 they returned to Court announcing that they could
not agree. The Judge - This is a very serious business in a case that
has lasted for ten days. Is there no possibility of agreement? The
Foreman - May we retire again? Certainly. The Jury returned
again at 9.30, when the foreman announced that there was no possibility
of agreement. The Jury were them discharged and exempted from service
for ten years. The Prisoners, moving from the dock, saluted friends in
Court, and one of them shouted "Up the Republic." A couple of
hundred people gathered outside, and there were shouts of "Up the
Republic" as the prisoners were driven back to gaol. Case
Before Tribunal. The trial before the Military Tribunal in Dublin
of Richard Murphy, Richard Goss, Thomas Walsh, Eamonn Coffey, and James
Finnegan, who are charged with the murder of Mrs. Frances McCrory, was
adjourned until Monday. Mrs. McCrory's home in Chapel Street, Dundalk,
was blown-up on March 18 of last year. A child playing in the street
lost an eye as a result of the explosion and the woman died some time
later. The five men have pleaded not guilty, and their defence is an
alibi.
Mullingar Proceedings Adjourned: Patrick Lynch,
painter, Kinnegad, Westmeath, was charged on remand at Mullingar
yesterday with feloniously killing Bernard Sheridan, Griffinstown,
Kinnegad, cattle-dealer and farmer, on June 23 in the yard of Mrs.
Hughes's licensed premises, Kinnegad, by three shots fired from a
revolver. Accused, who was brought from Mountjoy, maintained a
rather quiet but stolid demeanour throughout. At the previous
investigations some twenty witnesses were examined, many of whom were
witnesses of the shooting, and gave graphic descriptions of the
occurrence, including the circumstances under which the accused was seen
leaving by the gate afterwards with a revolver in his right hand,
remarking, "I am satisfied now," and walking across to the Civic Guard
Barracks and handing the weapon over to Sergeant Burke. Mr. J. E.
Wallace, State solicitor, explained that unexpectedly he could not go
farther with the evidence that day as Civic Guards who were necessary
witnesses were engaged in Green Street, Dublin, and the hearing was
adjourned.

Late Mrs. Owens. Funeral of Respected Tyrone Lady: The announcement of
the death of Mrs. Catherine Owens, Sixmilecross, came as a shock to her
son Arthur, and a large circle of friends and acquaintances. Although
the deceased lady had been in failing health for some time her death
came with unexpected suddenness. The late Mrs. Owens was a native of
Brackey, Sixmilecross, in which town her late husband, James Owens,
carried on business for many years. After his death she went to New
York, where she remained up to three years ago, when owing to failing
health, her son, in fulfilment of her wishes, brought her back to spend
her remaining years in her native country. Since her return deceased had
been resident in Beragh up to sex weeks ago, when she removed to a new
residence erected for her by her son in Sixmilecross. The funeral, which
took place to St. Colmcille's Church, Carrickmore, was of imposing
dimensions, and testified to the widespread respect and esteem in which
the deceased lady was held. The Requiem Mass was celebrated by her
brother, Rev. Francis Ward, C.C., Balleek, Co. Armagh, and the service
at the graveside was conducted by Rev. Fr. Hurson, P.P., Beragh,
assisted by Rev. Fr. Cush, P.P., Ballygawley, and Rev. P. McNelis, P.P.,

Derry Man Fined £100, Charged with Smuggling a Bullock:
At Derry on Saturday - before Mr. R. Roulston, O.B.E. (chairman) - James
Harkin, 131 Bogside, Derry, was charged with smuggling a bullock from
the Free State on 5th July. Constable McPhillips said he was on duty
about one mile from the Border, at Balloughry, and at 2.15 a.m. saw the
defendant driving a cow from the direction of the Free State. Witness
questioned him, but he made no attempt to account for his actions. When
arrested and charged he made no statement. Constable Nicholson
corroborated. When asked if he wanted to give evidence, defendant said
he did not. It was stated there was one previous conviction, in 18th
January, 1934, when Harkin served a month's imprisonment in default of a
penalty of £33 10s for smuggling six cattle. Constable McPhillips said
it was only fair to let the magistrates know that the defendant had a
family of six small children. The Chairman - He would be acting for some
other person, I suppose? The Constable - I suspect that. The Chairman
said they had no option but to fine Harkin £100, or in default six
months' imprisonment. They made an order for the forfeiture of the cow.

- Shorter Hours as Remedy, Mr. L. Cadbury on Unemployment Problem:
Doubts as to the efficacy of shortening the hours of labour as a remedy
for unemployment were expressed by Mr. Laurence Cadbury at the annual
meeting of the Bournville Works Men's Pensions Fund on Wednesday, July
10. "We have at Bournville," Mr. Cadbury said, "certain schemes which I
suggest are better and more trustworthy alternatives," and he went on to
mention of the day continuation school, the annual holiday scheme and
the pension scheme. At the day continuation school, Mr. Cadbury said,
there was an attendance of over 1,400 boys and girls, which was the
equivalent of a reduction in factory hours for all employees of one and
a half hours a week. At Bournville the holidays amounted to three and a
half weeks a year against an average in British industry of two weeks.
That was the equivalent of a reduction of weekly work time of one hour
and twenty minutes. Mr. Cadbury's last point was the fact that in 1934
Bournville had 285 men under 65 years of age on pension. "As 65 is the
age for retirement in industry generally," Mr. Cadbury said, "this means
285 men have been removed from the ranks of those who are looking for
jobs. If the pensionable age in industry were generally brought down to
60, I feel sure a considerable reduction in unemployment would result."
Family of Six in One Room, Report at Cookstown Urban
Council: A room sixteen feet by ten feet in a half-ruined house, with
only one bed for a man, his wife and four or six children to occupy and
sleep in, was the subject of a report made to Cookstown Rural Council on
Saturday by Dr. R. J. Spence, of Stewartstown. The house, which is at
Ballymurphy, Stewartstown, is partly occupied, partly in ruins.
According to the report, the two end wings not occupied have fallen in.
In one room lived a man, and in the other a family of six or eight. The
last-named room had only two windows - one a hole stuffed with a bag of
hay, and the other a mixture of broken glass and paper. This part of the
house was quite unfit for human habitation. The other room had no
chimney, only a hole in the roof. A door leading into one of the ruined
wings was covered with a bag. Mr. Felix Lavery said that the family were
not tenants. The owner, who lived beside them, was too poor to go to law
to put them out. The Council ordered a notice to be served on the owner
to have the family put out and to have his portion of the house
repaired; otherwise a demolition order would be made.
Twelfth Visitors, Remanded on Theft Charge in Derry: At
a Special Court in Derry on Saturday, five men, Charles Cowan, Tudor
Street, London; Robert Richardson, Carline Street, Glasgow; Francis
Ryan, Lewmore Street, Glasgow; James Orr, no fixed abode; and William
Dat, Southerland Street, Sheffield, were remanded in custody, charged
with stealing £9 belonging to Owen Cafferty (a native of Co. Mayo),
residing in Glasgow, and now spending a holiday in Ireland. Cafferty
said there was a crush as he boarded a bus in Derry, on Friday, 12th
July. When in the bus later, he missed the money. Detective-Sergeant
Dykes gave evidence of arrest. Accused stated they knew nothing about
it.

Advertisement in Newspaper Leads Fermanagh Man into Trouble: At
Lisnaskea Petty Sessions on Saturday, before Major Dickie and Capt.
Gosselin, resident magistrates. Joseph Monaghan, Tattenalea, was
charged with using a still, still-head, and worm, and having in his
possession a pint of illicit spirits. Mr. J. B. Murphy, solicitor,
admitting the offence, said that the defendant had seen an advertisement
in an English paper offering a recipe for the making of spirits. It was
from this formula that he made the spirits found on his premises. The
defendant in evidence, bore out his solicitor's statement and said he
had a child suffering from chronic rheumatism, for which the doctor had
recommended spirits. A sentence of six week's imprisonment was imposed.
Case Dismissed: John Gunn, Knox, Lisnaskea, was charged
with permitting private distilling of spirits to be carried on in an
outhouse on a farm, of which he is the occupier. This was a sequel to a
raid made by the police, as a result of which two men had been sent to
gaol at a previous court. Mr. R. A. Herbert, defending, raised the point
that Gunn's mother was the owner and occupier of the premises. Constable
Geddis said that the defendant admitted he was the owner. His mother was
a very old woman, and was bedridden. Rent receipts shown to him were in
the defendant's name. Answering Mr. Herbert, he said that defendant was
in bed when the raid was carried out. Defendant said he had nothing to
do with the affair, and knew nothing about it. The farm belonged to his
mother, who lived there, and the deed of settlement was produced. The
case was dismissed.

which runs at right-angles to the main premises on the front street, was
severed in the middle and the part which crashed was the outer portion.
It left the main building and fell into a large yard which stretches to
a public laneway below. Fortunately there was no one in the vicinity,
and there were no casualties. The building was used as a storehouse for
meat, etc. The only live thing in the building was a canary in a cage,

bird was found still hanging from the ceiling of the standing portion -
about three inches from the point where the building split in two.

be specialists in certain types of production.

Belfast Doctor's Fate, Drowned While Bathing With His Wife at
Castlerock, Ten Bathers Dead in Britain: The beautiful weather of the
week-end was responsible for a heavy toll of bathers. A Belfast doctor
was drowned while bathing with his wife and a friend at Castlerock, Co.
Derry, and eight deaths are reported in Great Britain. Doctor
Samuel Ernest Picken, Of Oakley, Bristow Park, Belfast, was drowned
while bathing at Castlerock, yesterday afternoon. Dr. Picken and his
wife were on holiday at Castlerock, and they and another visitor, Mr.
John Bob McQuisten, of Glasgow, went to bathe at the strand. All three
could swim. Mrs. Picton had apparently left the water first, and Mr.
McQuisten before starting for the shore called to Dr. Picken who was
swimming far out, to come in. When he reached the strand, Mr. McQuisten
looked back and could see no sight of the doctor, who had disappeared
without making any outcry. A short time later the body was recovered,
and artificial respiration was tried for a considerable time by several
doctors without result. It is believed that Dr. Pickens, who was aged 45
years, was the victim of a heart attack.

Dublin "100" Race, Belfast Man Second: Omagh Rider Seriously Injured:
The fifth Dublin "Hundred" race was run off in the Phoenix Park under
excellent weather conditions on Saturday, and resulted in a win by a
Dublin medical student, H. M. Carson, who rode a 490 c.c. Norton very
steadily into first place 24 seconds ahead of the scratchman, H.
Taggart, of Belfast, also on a Norton. M. J. McSorley, Omagh (249
Rudge), who was regarded almost as a certainly for the 250 c.c. class,
was unfortunate on his second lap to collide with a cow, which had
wandered on to the course near the Mountjoy Corner. He received injuries
which are believed to be serious, and was removed in the ambulance to
hospital. McSorley is a former winner of the event. There were 29
starters, but only nine completed the course. H. Taggart won the 500
c.c. championship and class awards, and established a record speed for
the race of 77¼ m.p.h. Apart from Taggart's course record none of the
standing records were beaten, and C. Manders' record lap of 90.18 m.p.h.
on the twin New Imperial was not equalled, though Taggart got within two
seconds of doing so. The finishing order was:- 1, H. M. Carson, Dublin
(490 Norton), 1hr. 4mins. 52secs., speed, 68 m.p.h.; 2, H.

Culmore to-day, and distributed prizes, but owing to an outbreak of
whooping cough and the closing of the schools for two weeks that part of
the programme had to be cancelled. Instead the Visitation will proceed
down the River Foyle to Culmore Point on a harbour launch and drive to
the school gates to greet the manager and principal. Alderman Sir
Charles A. Batho, Governor of the Society, read the Scripture lesson in
Derry Cathedral yesterday morning. The Dean of Derry (Very Rev. R. G. S.
King, M.A.) was the preacher. In the afternoon the Visitation inspected
Londonderry Methodist City Mission's Hostel at Barrack Street and went
for a drive to Downhill, stopping at Dogleap Farm, Limavady, for tea, on
the invitation of Captain W. A. and Mrs. Lane and Miss Robertson.

Before a special Court in Derry on Saturday five men, Charles Cowan,
Tudor Street, London; Robert Richardson, Carline Street, Glasgow;
Francis Ryan, Lewmore Street, Glasgow; James Orr, of no fixed address,
and William Day, Southerland Street, Sheffield, were remanded in custody
charged with stealing £9 belonging to Owen Cafferty (a native of County
Mayo), residing in Glasgow, and now spending a holiday in Ireland.

12, and in the bus later he discovered that the money was gone.
Detective-Sergeant Dykes said the accused stated that they knew nothing
about the affair.

North Hyde, who was working on Fentlow Farm. "I heard a thud and looking
round saw smoke coming from the other side of the hedge," he said. "I
rushed towards it and saw the aeroplane lying in the road, just
beginning to burn. I heard cries and screams and saw a man's legs
protruding from the machine. I caught hold of the legs and pulled the
man out. He was injured and was taken off to hospital. I had only been
there a few seconds when one of the petrol tanks exploded with a roar.
The machine was a mass of flames, but with the other three people there
I assisted in rescuing a girl. She was badly burned but was very brave
about it and seemed more concerned for her fellow passengers."
Police mounted guard on the wreckage and would allow no one near until
the Air Ministry Inspector of Accidents had arrived to investigate the
cause of the disaster. Nearby beneath a tarpaulin lay the bodies of the
two men who had been killed.

- Suspected Food Poisoning, One of Six Victims a Belfastman. The sixth
death resulting from suspected food poisoning was investigated by the
Burnley Coroner (Mr. Harry Ogden) yesterday. Up to the present three
deaths have occurred in Nelson, two in Burnley, and one in Belfast.
Yesterday the inquest related to Michael Haran, an Irish harvester, who
was engaged at the Pasture House Farm of the Nelson Co-operative
Society. The Coroner stated that on July 9 Haran became ill with
vomiting and died on Tuesday this week. He would adjourn the inquiry
until July 31. A post-mortem would be carried out, and certain organs
had been sent to the Ministry of Health. Michael Deehan, an Irish
harvester, spoke of eating some of the meat, and said that after Haran
had complained of feeling ill he himself felt a bit shaky. Annie Howarth
said that she purchased some beef from a Nelson Co-operative Society's
van. On two occasions the meat was used for sandwiches, and on another
occasion it was served in a hot pot. Only Haran complained of illness,
although five other people ate the same food.

- Lurgan Blackmail Charge, Woman Acquitted by Direction, Armagh Trial,
Mr. "Q" and Miss "Y" in the Witness-box. After a five-hour hearing at
Armagh Assizes yesterday Lord Justice Best directed the jury to return a
verdict of "not guilty" in the case in which Mrs. Marie Brown, Avenue
Road, Lurgan, was charged with sending a letter to a friend of her
husband, described as Mr. "Q" demanding money with menaces. The jury
disagreed in the trial at the previous Assizes. Five-Hour Hearing. Mr.
J. C. MacDermott and Mr. J. D. Chambers (instructed by Mr. J. P. Best,
Crown Solicitor for Armagh) prosecuted. Dr. Brian Maginess (instructed
by Mr. T. D. Gibson, M.A.) defended. Mr. "Q" said on October 4 last he
received a letter offering to sell him, for £30, a "nice photograph of
himself and Miss "Y," a photo, the letter said, which would "look nice
in the paper" if the money were not paid. The money was to be put in an
envelope and left at the house of Mrs. Brown and her husband. He was in
Brown's house the next day, and subsequently, treating the whole matter
as a joke, enclosed a blank sheet of paper, put it in an envelope and
left it at Brown's house. There was no such photograph in existence of
Miss "Y" and himself. When next he saw Mrs. Brown in her husband's
house Mrs. Brown said a lady had called for the letter. She described
the lady, and said when she gave the lady the letter, she went away,
returning in twenty minutes' time with a gentleman. Even at that stage
he treated the matter as a joke. The lady, according to Mrs. Brown,
expressed the intention of returning on the following Wednesday. Later,
continued Mr. "Q," he went to Brown's house, where Sergeant Blair and
another police office were present, as were Mrs. Brown and her husband.
It was then arranged that he should leave a bulky letter, about the size
of thirty one-pound notes, to be called for at Brown's house. It was
also arranged that the police officers should go to Brown's house on the
Wednesday and remain there. On the day following he called at Brown's
house, and Mr. and Mrs. Brown both stated that a man had called for the
letter, and that the man had produces a revolver. Mrs. Brown said she
gave the man the bulky letter. He drove her upstairs at the point of the
revolver and forced her to go to a drawer, take out her husband's wallet
containing £4 or £5, and give it to him. Mr. "Q" added that later he
received a letter describing him as a fool not to have paid, and adding,
"You will pay up next time." The letter warned him not to attempt to
trace the writers, and added, "We have agents everywhere." It
concluded:- "If Mrs. Brown recognises any of us she will be removed. We
will cross paths again." Police In Hiding. In
cross-examination by Dr. Maginess Mr. "Q" said he had known the Browns a
considerable time. They were descent people. There had been an excursion
of his employes to Warrenpoint, some 60 or 70 participating. Miss "Y,"
was there, but neither Mr. Brown nor Mrs. Brown was present. When he
showed the letter to Mr. Brown it did not seem familiar to him, who did
not recognise it. Mrs. Brown had then shown no signs of confusion. Mr.
Brown suggested that he should go to the police, and Mrs. Brown agreed
with the suggestion. Miss "Y," in evidence, said she was at the outing,
but there was no such photograph as that alleged in the letter. Sergeant
R. Blair, Lurgan, described how Head-Constable O'Brien, and he attended
in plain clothes at Brown's house, where they waited for the man and
woman or someone else to turn up for the bulky letter. No one put in an
appearance. Answering Dr. Maginess, Sergeant Blair said he left the
house at 5 p.m. He did not think anyone would turn up for the letter.
Replying to further questions, the sergeant stated that later in the
evening Mrs. Brown was in a very excited state. He had no recollection
of Head-Constable O'Brien saying "Dear help you, you are badly
frightened." Dr. Maginess - Did you say "Anyone would be frightened if
they had a revolver pointed at them?" - I have no recollection of saying
that. Head-Constable W. O'Brien said on October 13 he visited Mrs.
Brown's house and found her almost hysterical. She gave him a
description of a man whom she said had raided her house and demanded
money at the point of a revolver. He organised a search in the
neighbourhood, but could not find any trace of the person. Arthur
Storey, a handwriting expert, expressed the opinion that the words "I
have a nice" written by Mrs. Brown at the previous trial and the words
"I have a nice! written in the blackmailing letter were written by the
same person. He had come to the conclusion that all the letters
exhibited had been written by the same hand. To Dr. Maginess, Mr. Storey
said the "t's" tapered. The majority of the "t's" in the letter tapered.
Dr. Maginess - How many of them? Mr. Storey counted them and said
"Eleven." Dr. Maginess - And would you be surprised to know that there
are 29 "t's" in the letter? Mr. Storey replied that he had not counted
them. The Defence. Mrs. Brown, in the witness-box, said she
did not write the threatening letters to Mr. "Q," nor did she have any
act or part in the writing of them. It was on her advice that Mr. "Q"
went to the police. She had never objected to the police being in her
house waiting for someone to call for a letter from Mr. "Q." When
the man called for the bulky letter - the police not being there - he
produced a gun, forced her to go upstairs in front of him, and compelled
her to search through a chest of drawers and hand over some money
belonging to her husband. She was too frightened to scream. When later
she saw her husband, the incident was reported to the police. George
Boyd, a former bank official, said in his opinion the blackmailing
letter and other letters produced were not written by the same person.
Lord Justice Best - I don't think in this case it would be safe to
convict. I will direct the jury to find the woman not guilty. The jury,
as directed, returned a verdict of "not guilty," and Mrs. Brown was
discharged.

Phantom Avenger "Warns" Judge. Sound Tip in Return with Years to Ponder
it, Reflections before Sentence. "It was an uncontrollable impulse. All
my life I have had the impulse to destroy, but never to construct."
Maurice Clover Higgins (21) described as a compositor of Wyke Regis,
pleading guilty to four charges of rick-firing and another of writing a
letter threatening to destroy a dairy at Wyke Regis. "I shall destroy
your dairy within a few days whether you have a police cordon round it
or not as my highly scientifi and complicated method of rick-firing
cannot fail. - Signed - The Phantom Avenger." Sentenced to 12 months.
Asked by the Judge before sentence if he had anything further to say,
Higgins replied, "The only thing I can say it that very likely if you
convict me and give me a prison sentence it may make me turn into an
enemy of society." The Judge - "May I suggest to you that my powers go,
as far as this sentence is concerned, to sentencing you to a very long
period of imprisonment. I don't think you would be wise to threaten
society in my hearing, but you may do what you like," Higgins - "It is
well-known that if you sentence a man for an offence done on impulse
very likely you make him an enemy of society, but if you deal with me
leniently I shall always remember it as a kind act, and try to do my
best to obliterate the blot on my character made by the present
offence." "It is absurd," said the Judge, "to talk about uncontrollable
impulse when you have four separate deliberate felonies against you and
threats of committing another. I doubt whether I ought not to deal with
you very severely. You are a boy or young man ages twenty-one, and a
person of considerable and unusual intelligence. What am I to do with
the poor, ignorant people who commit offences if I deal extra leniently
with a man who is of high intelligence? I do not think that for a long
time I have had to deal with anyone who knew so well that he was doing
wrong as you did. Not many years ago you would have inevitably have gone
to penal servitude for a long period. Take my advice and don't use these
stupid threats to society, but take advantage of the comparative
leniency that is being shown to you by making up your mind to pull
yourself together, and lead a life which any young man as intelligent as
you are can do."
4) Two
Ways To Live:
There are two ways to live on earth; Two ways to judge, to act, to view;
For all things here have double birth - A right, a wrong, a false, a
true.
Give me the home where kindness seeks, To make that sweet so seeming
small;
Where every lip in fondness speaks, And every mind has care for all.
Whose inmates live in glad exchange, Of pleasure, free from vain
expense;
Whose lives beyond their means ne'er range, Nor wise denials give
offence.
Who in a neighbour's fortune find, No wish, no impulse to complain;
And feel not - never felt - the mind, To envy yet another's gain!
Who dream not of the mocking tide, Ambition's foiled endeavour meets -
The bitter pangs of wounded pride, Nor fallen powers that shun the
streets.
Though fate deny its glittering store, Love's wealth is still the wealth
to choose;
For all that gold can purchase more, Are gods - it is no loss to lose!
Some beings whereso'er they go, Find naught to please, or to exalt;
Their constant study but to show, Perpetual modes of finding fault.
While others in the ceaseless round, Of daily wants and daily care,
Can yet cull flowers from common ground, And twice enjoy the joy they
share!
Oh happy they who happy make! Whom blessing, still themselves are blest!
Who sometimes spare for other's sake, And strive in all things for the
best. G. Gilbert

Death From Burns, Britain's "Unluckiest Woman." A verdict of
death from misadventure was recorded at the inquest at West Ham
yesterday on Mrs. Nellie Dorothy Warwick (27), wife of a labourer, of
Queen's Road, Upton Park, who has been described as the "Unluckiest
woman" in Britain. Mrs. Warwick died in Queen Mary's Hospital at
Stratford from shock following extensive burns about the legs and lower
part of the body after her dress had caught alight while she was getting
her children ready for school. A seven-year-old daughter, Peggie
Warwick, said her mother sat down and tried to put out the flames and
then she ran into the street where some neighbours assisted to put out
her burning clothes. The Coroner, recording her verdict, commented on
the sadness of the case.

- Tragedy of Temper, Story of Upperlands Shooting, Inquest on Victim,
Son's Dramatic Evidence: Without expressing any opinion as to deceased's
mental condition, the jury returned a verdict of suicide at an inquest
held by Dr. Cousley, Coroner for South Derry, on Monday, respecting the
death of James Campbell (60), labourer, of Railway View Cottages,
Upperlands, who was discovered lying dead in his garden on Saturday with
a shotgun about two feet from the body. Mrs. Campbell (45), his wife,
was on the day of the tragedy removed to the Royal Victoria Hospital,
Belfast, suffering from a gunshot wound to the right shoulder. William
Campbell (16), deceased's youngest son, deposed that his father got into
a temper and threatened his mother with a gun when she asked him for
some money. His father then left the house, and in about fifteen minutes
he returned with a gun, and, pointing the gun at the face of witness's
mother, his father said: "I have you now." "I knocked it out of
his hands," said witness, "and he went outside again with the gun, and
my mother went into the house of Mrs. Shiels, next door. A few minutes
later my father returned and handed me some Bureau letters, He then went
into Mrs. Shiel's house and seemed to be still in a violent rage. I
followed him and saw him firing the gun at my mother. "He then reloaded
the gun and went down the lane and over the fence into a garden. I went
for my brother, who was working in the mill, and when I was returning I
heard a second shot." "He Will Not Come In Here! Mrs.
Margaret Shiels stated that when Mrs. Campbell came into her house she
said, "He will not come in here to shoot me." Subsequently Campbell came
in with a gun and fired at his wife. A daughter of the last
witness, Matilda Shiels, said that when Campbell came into her house he
said to Mrs. Campbell, "Is that you, and is this where you are at." He
then fired at his wife who fell. Constable McKenna deposed that Mrs.
Campbell was shot in the right shoulder and witness sent for a doctor
and a nurse. Witness found Campbell lying in his garden dead. A shot-gun
was lying against the bank of the hedge with the muzzle pointing
downwards and there was a small piece of string attached to the trigger.
Samuel Campbell, another son of deceased, said his father had been four
months out of work and was depressed and worried. Deceased was subject
to fits of temper and easily annoyed. Dr. Johnstone, Maghera, said he
had attended Campbell for stomach trouble. Deceased had admitted to him
that he had a violent temper. The wound in deceased's chest appeared to
have been self-inflicted. Addressing the jury the Coroner said the
deceased appeared to have allowed his temper to get the better of him
with the result that he had taken his own life and his wife was in
hospital seriously wounded.
Science Aids Fight on Crime, Use of Electric Eye,
keener Than Microscope: An electric eye which can see events of the past
is announced by agents of the United States Department of Justice as new
equipment in their fight on crime (says a message from St. Louis). It is
operated by use of a spectograph. The Federal agents explained this new
robot detective at the Science Exhibition of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science at St. Louis. The Federal men are
seeking the co-operation of America's foremost scientists in the
development of crime detection instruments which can not only be used in
Federal work but be passed on to the police departments throughout the
country. The new eye is a development of the last six months. It uses
the instrument with which astronomers recognise the different kinds of
atoms on stars. The spectograph does this by breaking light into the
rainbow and photographing the lines, which compose all these colours.
The Federal eye reveals the "fingerprints" of all the known chemical
elements. Each element has its own atomic "fingerprints" in lines seen
in the spectograph, lines as plain as the whorls on a human finger. Any
piece of evidence, one even no larger that the head of a pin, when
analysed by the eye shows every kind of atom of which it is made, even
those buried from sight in its interior. It revels them in mere traces
so small that neither microscope nor chemistry can find them.
Tell-Tale Piece of Mid There "fingerprints" of atoms often show
where the evidence came from originally, that is where its parts grew,
or were mined or manufactured. The "fingerprints" may reveal where the
evidence has been, where it touched, and might show almost positive
evidence of who touched it. The eye has been used with at least one
spectacular result. Bits of earth clung to some evidence which had been
temporarily buried. The eye showed traces of iron in this dirt, with
clear atomic "fingerprints." In the motor-car of a suspect was found a
piece of mud which might have dropped off his shoe. Under the eye this
mud showed the same atomic iron "fingerprints" as the dirt on the buried
evidence. It was different from all the other dirt in the car and from
the soil of the region where the car usually travelled. With this
information the Federal men were able to reconstruct a past trip of the
car and its driver into a definite piece of evidence. The eye does
not lie. It has already also protected the innocent. The police
had a repainted licence plate, the paint with which the painting had
apparently been done, and the owner of the paint as a suspect. The eye
showed that the paint on the plates was not the same as that seized.
Although the colours were identical, one paint had been made with zinc
and the other with lead.

- Village Doctor Traps Outlaw, Treated His Injuries, Then Bound Him Up
For Police: A paroled convict who had been hunted for more that two
months on a murder charge was captured by a village doctor at Benton,
near Bloomsburg (Pennsylvania). The outlaw, David Shaffer, a notorious
figure in the area, regained consciousness in the office of Dr. William
Confair after a stolen motor-car he was driving had crashed into a
concrete abutment of a bridge (says a Bloomsburg message). When he awoke
he found the physician had removed a loaded revolver from his belt, had
bound his hands and wrists with adhesive tape, had ties his legs with a
leather belt and had administered a hypodermic injection to keep the
prisoner drowsy. Dr. Confair was unaware of his patient's identity until
the arrival of police at his office 40 minutes after he had telephoned
them. The police said that the physician probably would collect a reward
of £100 offered for Shaffer's capture. According to District Attorney
Robert M. Fortney, a charge of murder will be made against the prisoner,
who is alleged to have killed his sister, Bertha Shaffer (20) and
wounded Corporal Wm. Bloom, of the State Police, in a police trap on
October 12. The accident which brought Shaffer to Dr. Confair's office
occurred a few minutes after midnight. Posing as a hitch hiker the
outlaw had held up Henry Rineheimer near Benton, and had headed for his
haunts near Wilkes-Barre in Rineheimer's car. The car was going at a
rate of at least 60 miles an hour when it skidded on a curve and hit a
bridge. Dr. Confair and another eye-witness pulled Shaffer from the
wreckage and carried him indoors. After bandaging a wound on the
patient's head the physician noticed the pistol in Shaffer's belt.
Without further investigation he ties the man up, administered the
hypodermic, and notified police. "I guess I'm done," Shaffer said as he
regained consciousness. "I'm sorry I killed my sister. I haven't had any
rest since."

- Sea Elephant Dies of Broken Heart, Three-ton Animal's End, Theory of
Fatal Grief: Roland, a mammoth sea elephant which was the particular
pride of the Berlin Zoo, has died just 48 hours after the demise at the
Hanover Zoo of another sea elephant, the famous Goliath. It had been
Berlin gossip for many years that Roland was slowly dying of loneliness,
heart-broken because the Berlin Zoo could not afford to give him a mate.
Various noted physicians (says a Berlin message) tried to discover the
cause of his lassitude and ill-health, but to date they are no wiser
than the gossips attributing it to a broken heart. The scientists are
loath to grant such depth of feeling to a sea elephant, however, and are
now engaged in an autopsy to see if they can discover some more prosaic
cause of death. The mighty Roland had not only immense size but an
immense public. Tourists from all over the world had watched him at his
meals and for Berlin children he had become a legendary figure. Worth
15,000 marks, he weighed three tons, and was more than thirteen feet
long.
Vegetables Help Seeing In Dark. Vitamin That Aids
Vision Found in Carrots and Tomatoes: To see well in the dark one should
eat plenty of carrots and tomatoes, Dr. Marston T. Bogart, Professor of
Organic Chemistry at Columbia University, told the National Organic
Chemistry Symposium of the American Chemical Society meeting in
Rochester, New York. Dr. Bogert said that this class of organic
compounds included vitamin A, which recently was found necessary for the
formation of visual purple. The vitamin is present in extremely small
quantities on the tops of the rods of the retina, the sensitive screen
inside the eye upon which visual images are recorded. Visual purple is
the active material which makes the rods sensitive to light, but they
begin to function only after the eye has been in the dark for some time.
In some unknown manner the body builds visual purple from vitamin A,
which in turn is formed from carotene, the orange colouring matter in
carrots. Diabetics, Dr. Bogart said, were unable to convert carotene to
vitamin A, which is needed for many other bodily functions besides
seeing in the dark.

Puzzle Solved. Concrete Road Moved by Air Blasts. Cutting Down Crashes.
Alternative to White Line: A kindergarten child can be trained to
respect a white line of demarcation. Some adults, impatient motorists,
apparently can't. The disturbing truism furnished a traffic puzzle that
has just been solved in New Jersey. The trouble area, seven miles of
smooth, inviting concrete scarred and stained by 40 smash-ups within a
year, was the Brunswick Pike between New Brunswick and Trenton, New
Jersey. Down the middle of the speed-ribbon was painted a broad white
band dividing the opposing lanes of traffic-streams. Fast, fidgeting
motorists cut out of line habitually and, habitually cracked up. The
toll was more than 90 deaths in 1934, with accidents continuing
virtually at the rate of one a week (says the "Literary Digest"). E.
Donald Sterner, New Jersey State Highway Commissioner, first was
annoyed, then dismayed. He consulter Sigvald Johanessen, engineer of
design in the New Jersey State Highway Department. The latter bent his
live, snapping eyes to the problem. He suggested that the toad by sliced
in two, half of it be moved over 12 feet, and the intervening strip
thickly planted with grass and heavy shrubbery. Any motorist cutting out
into that would find himself stalled in the vegetation before he had
much chance to damage himself or anyone else.

- Big Electric Light Failure. Gloom in Ulster. Many Towns Blacked Out.
Four Counties Affected: An electrical blackout over a large area of
County Antrim occurred on Monday evening and the supply at Whitehead had
not been restored this forenoon. Comment in the town is very bitter in
view of the fact that those in possession of all-electric wireless sets,
on which they were dependent for late news of the King's illness were
unable to learn until to-day of the death of his Majesty. The only
illumination in Whitehead streets last night was that of two hurricane
oil lamps at the L.M.S. Railway bridge. At the post office the operators
were working under extreme difficulties. Armagh Electric
light failed in Armagh after 4 o'clock on Monday and the streets and
shops were plunged into darkness. Ballymena Owing to the
failure of the electricity supply in Ballymena yesterday, the picture
houses were unable to carry on in the evening. In the afternoon when
lighting-up time arrived many traders shut down for want of an
alternative supply of light. The current was restores about midnight.
Ballynahinch At Ballynahinch there was a breakdown in the
electricity supply, no light being available for shops or houses in the
evening, and some business houses closed shortly after four p.m. The
current was restored at 8.45p.m. Banbridge The electric grid
system in Banbridge was affected to such an extent that the town was in
complete darkness last night. Shopkeepers and householders were forced
to fall back on oil lamps and candles. When the "Telegraph"
correspondent called at the Electricity Station he found the staff
working by candle light and making every effort to locate the cause of
the trouble. In Carrickfergus Carrickfergus presented a
gloomy appearance on Monday night, being in darkness owing to the
electric light being interrupted. Council workmen placed hurricane lamps
at an occasional dangerous corner, which proved a boon to motorists
passing through the town. In the principal streets shopkeepers were
obliged to utilise all sorts of temporary lights, and in many cases
windows were illuminated by candle light. With the exception of two oil
lamps at the pier heads, the harbour was without light, and work had to
be suspended discharging coal from the coasting vessel s.s. Greenisland.
The local Welfare Club, with a membership of approximately 300, had to
close down, billiards and other games being impossible. Since the
introduction of electric light into the town three years ago the
majority of inhabitants have wireless sets installed, but the pleasure
of "listening-in" was denied them last night. The streets were littered
with slush, and as rain fell up to midnight few pedestrians ventured out
after darkness had set in. This is the worst experience Carrickfergus
has had with the electric system since it was introduced. Carrickfergus
was still without electricity this morning, and it was expected that the
current would be restored during the afternoon. Cookstown In
Cookstown in the afternoon on Monday the electric current failed and
shops and private residences were without light, except in a few cases
where there was an alternative gas supply. Oil lamps and candles were
utilised, and a number of shopkeepers closed early. The local picture
house did not open, as the management are dependent on the grid system
electricity supply for power and lighting purposes. The Technical
School, which has a nightly attendance of almost 2000, had to close in
the evening owing to absence of illumination, while a service in the
Methodist Church was carried on with the aid of oil lamps. The power was
restored at 10-30 p.m. Newry's "Black-Out" The electric
light and power failed completely in Newry and district yesterday
evening, causing much inconvenience and loss to all concerned. Picture
houses, in particular, were severely hit as no performances could be
given, and it was close on 11 p.m. before the current was restores. The
break-down is attributed to the snowstorm. The meeting of Newry Urban
Council was only possible by the requisitioning of paraffin oil lamps
and in many offices and homes candles had to be used. Portadown
A conversazione on Monday in Portadown Orange Hall, under the auspices
of Portadown Women's Unionist Association, had to be held by candle
light. Owing to a failure of the electricity supply over the whole town
and surrounding area, the business of the town was disorganised;
workshop employes, clerks and shop-assistants had to cease work where
they were unable to proceed by candles or oil lamps. One of the picture
houses had to close. ~ The schoolmistress was giving a
lesson to an inattentive class upon the cat and its habits. Carefully
she explained that cats had feelings like human beings and that children
should be kind to animals. "You have heard a car purr with pleasure or
spit in anger," she concluded. At that point it seemed she had at last
managed to make the boys interested, for, suddenly, an inquiring voice
asked :- "Please, miss how far can a cat spit?"

- Co. Derry Mystery. Who is the Woman, Inquest Adjourned: Who is the
well-dressed woman whose dead body was found on Saturday in a shallow
stream beside the Coleraine-Portstewart Road? How did it come there,
where did the woman come from, and what caused her death? These are
questions which the police are still unable to answer. The body was seen
by an engine-driver, and it is believed to have been lying with the head
under water for ten days. It was that of a woman aged between 25 and 35
years, wearing silk underclothing. No hat or handbag has been found and
there were no pockets in the clothing. Only one Northern Ireland woman
has been reported missing, and relatives are satisfied that the dead
woman is not she. The probability is that the woman was drowned, but in
order that a post-mortem examination may be made, the inquest, which was
opened on Monday at Coleraine, had been adjourned for a week.
District-Inspector Robinson, who is in charge of the investigation,
states: "I am not suggesting for a moment that there has been foul play,
but we are not taking any risks." The chief witness at the inquest was
Head-Constable Fulton, who said that on information by James Williamson,
engine driver, Ballymoney, he went to Ballysally and saw the body of the
woman lying on its right side partly under the bridge. The stream ran
under the road, and on Saturday the depth of the water in it was about
eight inches. The woman's back was close against the arch and partly
under the water. The legs from the knees were projecting, the head was
under water, but the shoulders were exposed. She was wearing gloves, the
left arm being over the body, the hand being in the water. A watch on
the left wrist had stopped at seven o'clock. She was wearing brown
shoes, brown stockings, and a brown overcoat, neatly buttoned, and
appeared to have been in comfortable circumstances. Her clothing was all
to match. She wore a black and white silk scarf; a knitted brown jumper
and silk underclothing. As far as he could see the only mark on the body
was a slight abrasion on the forehead. There (next
image) were no pockets in the clothing. He
searched both sides of the stream, but found no trace of where the
deceased entered the stream, not could they find her hat or handbag. The
woman was probably between 25 and 35 years of age.
