How long I have liv'd - but how much liv'd in vain! How little of life's
scanty span may remain!
What aspects old Time, in his progress, how worn! What ties cruel fate in my

How foolish or worse, till our summit is gain'd! And downward, how weaken'd,
how darken'd, how pain'd!
This life's not worth having with all it can give - For something beyond it
poor man sure must live. "The Lazy Mist"

2) Sad Shooting Accident near Ballymena - Yesterday morning a young man
named William John Watt, of Ballee, a little over a mile from Ballymena,
reported to the constabulary at Harryville that a man who had been out
fowling had been shot close to where Watt resides. Sergeant Dugdale,
accompanied by Constables Hadden and Flannigan, at once proceeded to the
place, and found the injured man, George McMullen, Sadder, Linenhall Street,
Ballymena, lying in a dangerous condition in the house of Mr. Watt at
Ballee. McMullen was conscious, although in a weak state from haemorrhage,
and was able to corroborate the statement that the severe injuries which he
has received were accidental. It seems that the injured man, in company with
his cousin, Robert Henry McMullen, had been out in the locality of Ballee
and were shooting at some pigeons at shortly after eight o'clock that
morning. They were afterwards proceeding down a field in the neighbourhood,
the injured man walking slightly in advance and on the left hand side of his
cousin, Robert McMullen. Each of them carried a double0barrelled gun, and
both firearms were at "full cock." In some unaccountable way, and by mere
accident, the left barrel of the gun which Robert McMullen was carrying
suddenly discharged, and the shot from it lodged in his cousin George's
right side immediately below the lung, leaving a frightful gash in the
injured man's side. Dr. McWhirter and Dr. D'Evelyn were communicated with,
and arrived promptly on the scene, and gave most valuable assistance in
attending to the deceased's injuries. The medical gentlemen upon examination
of the injured man held out no hope for his recovery. The occurrence was
subsequently reported by Sergeant Dugdale to District-Inspector Hardy. The
police remained at the place where the injured man lay and rendered all the
assistance in their power in the circumstances. Pending a magisterial
inquiry into the case, Robert McMullen was detained in custody in Harryville
Barrack. At three o'clock yesterday afternoon he was brought before Mr.
Thomas Burns, J.P., and formerly admitted to bail. Up to the time of writing
the injured man lies in a very precarious condition. Friday night.
As anticipated, owing to the very serious nature of the case, George
McMullen succumbed to his injuries this evening, death taking place at about
five o'clock. Great sympathy is expressed with his wife and family in their
sad bereavement.

A Dog Case, John Finlay, of 54 Parkmount Street, processed James
Russell, of 21 Moyola Street, to recover £4 10s, for the trover of a collie
bitch, which the plaintiff alleged to be his property. Mr. Henry Hanna
(instructed by Mr. A. F. Wright) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. W.
Harper represented the defendant. The plaintiff said he was a clerk in the
employment of Mr. H. McNeile McCormick. He got a collie puppy from John Rea
on the 15th March, the dog having been born on the 12th of January. On the
16th September his father lost the dog, and on the 20th September he
advertised the loss. On the 22nd October the puppy came back, and on the
31st of that month the defendant, through the instrumentality of another
young man, got possession of the dog. He went to the defendant's house to
get the animal, but Mr. Russell said the bitch was his, not witness's. Mr.
Harper - what we say is that the plaintiff had our dog for a considerable
time. Mr. Hanna - and that we stole it? Mr. Harper - Pardon me, I did not
say that, but you apparently know what I ought to say. (Laughter) The
plaintiff further said that the bitch was called "Nettle" by him, but it
would answer to any name. The defendant said his bitch was called "Nora." He
got the puppy from Mr. James Fleming, of the Edinburgh Castle, York Road, in
May, the puppy having been born in April. He was absolutely certain the
bitch which the plaintiff claimed was his (Mr. Russell's) property. Mr.
Fleming and quite a number of other witnesses gave like testimony. His
Honour said that the plaintiff had failed to prove the dog was his, and he
would give a "dismiss on the merits."
Harbinson v. Gregg - This was an action brought by Wm. Harbinson against the
Messrs. Gregg, for the recovery of the price of a horse, value for about £11
5s, which was rendered useless to him through a timber van belonging to the
defendants colliding with it. The evidence for the plaintiff was that the
defendants' van was on the wrong side of the road, and the projecting timber
knocked down plaintiff's horse. The animal was so much injured that it had
to be destroyed. The defence was a denial of any knowledge of the collision
complained of. His Honour held the defendants liable, and gave a decree for
£11 5s, with 20s witnesses' expenses. Mr. McErlean appeared for the
plaintiff, and Mr. Henry Hanna (instructed by Messrs. Love & Alexander)
appeared for the defendants. The Court then adjourned until eleven o'clock
this (Saturday) morning.

Belfast Police Courts Yesterday
Custody Court [Before Messrs. Garrett Nagle, R.M., and William McCormick];
Larceny Cases - Thomas Brannigan was charged with the larceny of a purse
containing 10s 4d and three pawn tickets from Maggie Lappin.
District-Inspector Kelly prosecuted in this and the other police cases. The
evidence showed that the prisoner and Lappin were in a public-house in
Smithfield on Thursday evening. In that house witness missed her purse, and
she charged the accused with the larceny of it. A remand until Tuesday was
granted, bail being allowed. - Constable Irvine charged Mary Taggart with
the larceny of £1 10s, the property of Thomas Daly, Mr. Bryan McErlean
defended. It appeared that Daly met two women in Church Lane on Thursday
night. They asked Daly to stand a drink. He consented, and took them to a
public house. On coming out, witness and prisoner met two other women, one
of whom took Daly's purse out of his trousers pocket, and handed it to the
prisoner, who ran away with it. The case was remanded until Tuesday.
Alexander Cooke was charged with the larceny of a quantity of lead piping
from a vacant house in Eglinton Street. A constable deposed to arresting the
prisoner. After being cautioned, he stated that at noon on the 15th inst. he
and another boy named Baxter went down Eglinton Street. Baxter went round to
the back, and returned with the lead piping in his hand. Baxter's mother, he
said, told him to take the pining to Smithfield and sell it. In order that
Baxter might be brought up in custody and further evidence produces, a
remand was granted till Tuesday.
Interfering with the Police - Patrick McCoy, Hamilton Street, was charged on
remand with having seriously assaulted Constable Joseph Baird in the
execution of his duty on the Lisburn Road on the morning of the 15th inst.
Prisoner pleaded for a chance, as this was his first offence. Mr. Nagle said
that, taking into consideration the injuries the prisoner had received and
the serious nature of the case, only six weeks imprisonment would be
imposed.
Patrick Donnelly was charged with having been drunk and disorderly on
Thursday. The constable stated that when he was coming from the Summons
Court the accused shoved him with his shoulder, almost knocking him off the
footpath. The prisoner stated to the Bench that he was under the influence
of liquor at the time. Fined 10s and costs.
Prisoners Discharged - Constable Trinder charged John Thompson and William
Cameron with having entered the yard of the Glenravel Street Barrack on
Thursday night for an unlawful purpose. The constable stated that at
midnight he was on duty in Henry Place, when he observed the prisoners
climbing over the gate of the barrack yard, which is about nine feet high.
When they noticed witness they dropped into the yard, and were afterwards
arrested. One of the prisoners stated from the dock that they had just left
at the time one of the dragoons to the soldiers' barracks, and were
returning home when arrested. They denied having been in the barrack yard,
and were discharged.
Summons Court [Before Messrs. J. A. Doran and James Johnston] The
Vaccination Acts - Thomas Rea, 135 Ormeau Road, was summoned by the
Guardians of the Poor for failing to have his child vaccinated in accordance
with the Act of Parliament. Mr. William Harper prosecuted for the Guardians.
Mr. N. Tughan, who appeared for the defendant, asked for a copy of the
Guardians' resolution authorising the proceedings. Mr. Harper said that his
appearance as an officer of the Guardians was sufficient to show that the
Guardians had intended to proceed in the case. The Bench accepted Mr.
Harper's appearance. Dr. Torrens proved that the mother had registered the
child's birth with him, and that the child had never been presented to him
for vaccination since that time. Andrew Torrans, an officer of the
Guardians, said that he had called with the parents on the 3rd inst., when
Mr. Rea stated that he did not believe in vaccination. Dr. Graham proved
that he had declined to vaccinate the child, as it had been physically unfit
to undergo such an operation. He would vaccinate the infant in two months'
time from the present if it were able to stand the operation. Their Worships
adjourned the case for two months.
Mr. S. E. Allworthy, 62 Eglantine Avenue, was summoned by the same authority
for a similar offence. Mr. Harper prosecuted. Mr. Allworthy stated that he
thought the Act of 1898 would have excused him. Mr. Harper pointed out that
the Act only applied to England. The magistrates imposed a fine of 1s and
12s 6d costs.

Fatal Fight on Board a Steamer - At the Londonderry Recorder's Court
yesterday a case was heard arising out of a fight on board the steamer
Brantwood at the quay in October last. Thomas Cassidy, belonging to Belfast,
boatswain of the steamer, was indicted for the manslaughter of Hugh
Fullerton, of Donaghadee, who also belonged to the Brantwood. Mr. Maxwell,
who pleaded guilty for the prisoner, said that he had advised his client to
do this, although the depositions showed the affair was an accident, and
that Fullerton provoked the fight, which ended in the combatants falling
overboard, Fullerton being drowned. The prisoner had got an excellent
character from his captain. The Recorder said that the prisoner was in law
guilty of manslaughter, but he was glad to be able to say that the fight,
according to the informations, appeared to have been a fair one. There was
nothing mean or shabby about it, except perhaps the circumstance that there
should not have been a fight at all. But he thought that neither of the men
had reckoned upon going over the edge of the vessel into the water. Under
all the circumstances he would sentence the prisoner to a month from the
date of his committal, which would expire that day, so that the prisoner was
discharged on entering into his own bail of £20 to be of good behaviours for
the next twelve months.
