DECLARED HE WAS A SINNER
Belfast Youth Who Confessed to Robbery

The strange story of a young man who went to the police and confessed to a robbery after attending religious meetings, at which he declared he was a sinner, was told at the Belfast Custody Court yesterday.   The young man, Samuel Irvine, of Argyle Street, stood in the dock with William Newell, both being charged with breaking into the workshops of Messrs. Megarry & Johnston, photographers, of Bridge Street, on May 17, and stealing £10 6s.  In his statement to the police Irvine said that he and Newell wanted to be "dressed" for the holidays, but, being out of work and getting no dole, they decided to rob Megarry & Johnston's, where he (the prisoner) was employed eighteen months ago.  The Rev. Robert Byers, the minister of the Sandy Row Methodist Church, told the magistrates that Irvine had been attending his meetings, and, declaring himself to be a sinner, decided to confess to the robbery.  Remarking that the lad had never been given a chance, the minister said that he was trying to find Irvine a job, so that restitution could be made.  "I believe he is going to lead a new life."  Mr. Byers added.  Newell was discharged on account of insufficient evidence, and the charge against Irvine being reduced to one of simple larceny, he was allowed out on bail on condition that he came before the Court again in three months. time.  The R.M. (Mr. O'Donoghue), pointed out that Irvine's conduct in the meantime would determine what course the Bench would take at the end of the probationary period.

HEROIC TRAWLER HAND
THRILLING RESCUE OF MATE
Seen by Crowd on Quay

Crowds of holiday-makers and relatives of crews who were waving farewell to Fleetwood trawlers as they left port for the fishing grounds saw an exciting rescue yesterday.  They were standing on the quayside when one of the new luxury trawlers owned by Macline Ltd., names Northern Wave, steamed out of dock bound for the Iceland fishing grounds,  As soon as she got into the middle of the river most of her crew went aft to wave to their wives and sweethearts ashore, and as they were waving and the trawler was giving answering blasts on her siren, the crowd were horrified to see one of the crew overbalance and fall headlong into the sea.
     Woman immediately began screaming, but the man had not been in the sea a minute when the crowd saw another fisherman dive over the side of the trawler, fully clothed, to the rescue of his shipmate.  There were shouts aboard the ship, which pulled up, while the people ashore dashed for the lifebuoys which are always kept in readiness for emergency along the quayside.  A strong tide was running, and both men were being swept away by the powerful current, but they managed to reach the quayside in an exhausted condition.
     Lifebuoys were thrown to them, and they were hauled to safety.  It was then learned that the man who fell overboard was Albert Sievewright, aged 21 (single), a native of Aberdeen but lodging in Fleetwood.  His rescuer was Thomas Harrison, aged 22 (married), of Walmsley Street, Fleetwood.  Four years ago Harrison dived overboard from the Fleetwood steam trawler Hildina and rescued a fisherman at the Northern Ireland fishing grounds.

YOUNG BRIDE JAILED
YEAR'S TERM FOR THEFT

Married for two months, a young husband saw his bride leave the dock at Tottenham Police Court, London, to serve a year's imprisonment for theft.  The bride was Lily Laken, aged 21, of Walthamstow, who pleaded guilty to four charged of theft.  It was alleged that she called at houses in Tottenham where there were rooms to let.  After seeing the rooms it was her plan to accept them and then say that she would like a cup of tea.  While the woman occupier was preparing it Laken took money from her handbag.  A detective said that Laken had been previously in prison for similar thefts.  The magistrate said he was very sorry for the young husband.

AIDING PAROCHIAL FUNDS
MONEYMORE TENNIS TOURNAMENT

A tennis tournament in aid of parochial funds was held on the Manor House courts, Moneymore, kindly lent by the Misses C. and A. Lenox-Conyngham, on Wednesday and Thursday.  Rev. W. A. B.

     In the final of the mixed doubles Miss Helen Lavery and Mr. J. Mayne, Cookstown, defeated Miss McAlister, of Kildress and Mr. M. Nelson, Cookstown.  The ladies' doubles were won by Miss McAlister and Miss Cluff, Kildress, Messrs. B. Christie and W. McLernon, of Magherafelt, beat Messrs. I. Fleming and E. Elliott, of Cookstown.
     On the motion of Rev. C. T. Jackson, seconded by Rev. W. A. B. Jackson, a vote of thanks was accorded the Misses Lenox-Conyngham for the use of the courts.  Miss C. Lenox-Conyngham acknowledged.

LATE MR. R. S. JEFFERSON
Tributes by Guardians

To-day at the Belfast Board of Guardians tribute was paid to the late Mr. R. S. Jefferson.  Mr. James Jamison (chairman) said Mr. Jefferson had been with them that day week in perfect health and strength and very happy.  That day he had gone from amongst them and they missed him very much.  Mr. Jefferson's father had been an old and respected member of that Board.  When he died, Mr. Jefferson took his place.  Their deceased colleague was a man who had always been doing good by stealth, being of a most charitable disposition.  He moved that they send a letter of sympathy to his widow and family.  Mr. Small seconded the motion, which was supported by Messrs. Ardis, J.P.; Fulton, Leacock, McGookin, Cochrane, J.P.; Hart, Lowe, Loan and Lyttle, also the clerk, Mr. R. W. Craig, on behalf of himself and the members of his staff, and passed, all standing in token of sorrow.

General News

.........Mrs. Edith Annie Brown said that she was holding her little girl's hand as she was crossing the road. "I had taken a few steps off the kerb," she said, "when all of a sudden the car seemed to swoop on me - absolutely swoop down on me. I clung tighter to me little girl's hand, but I could see their was no hope/ I could not go forward, and I could not go back. The car just seemed to come forward into me and take my little girl out of my hand, and tore by me along the road. I thought it was not going to stop at all. The swiftness of the car seemed to hold her on to the side, and when it had got some distance along the road I saw her fall back."  Mrs. Brown herself was not injured. Ronald George, Saddlington, of Vinery Road, Cambridge, who was cycling near the scene of the accident, estimated the speed at between 35 and 40 mph. Leslie Garnet Willis, of Holbroke Road, Cambridge, a passenger in a car which Reilly's car passed, estimated the speed of Reilly's vehicle at 50 to 55 mph, and added, "In my opinion he was driving in a reckless manner, having regard to the nature of the road." Saddington said that it was amazing that Mrs. Brown was not hit by the car also. Robert George Watkins, of Hill's Road, Cambridge, driver of the car in which Mr. Willis was a passenger, estimated the speed of Reilly's car to be at least 50 mph. This was also the estimate of John Anthony Orr-Ewing, until recently an undergraduate of Jesus College, Cambridge, who was walking near the scene.

Dropped in Raid Shelter
Man with stolen tea

At Belfast Custody Court to-day, Patrick Doherty, Fairview Street, was ordered four months' imprisonment, with hard labour, for receiving 6¼ lbs. tea, a controlled article, which had been stolen from the shop of Mary McIlvenny, Durham Street, Constable Brennan said he saw accused drop a cardboard box in a Durham Street air raid shelter and when accused saw witness he made off.  Witness caught him and brought him back to the shelter.  Accused alleged that witness had "planted" the box on him, and said "If I get time I will get you after it"  The box contained 6¼ lbs. tea in quarter pound packets.  Doherty denied being near the shelter, that he knew anything about the tea being in it, or that he had threatened the constable. It looked like as if the "stuff was planted on him"

Sharp Belfast Milk Fines - The Farmers and Guarantees.
     In the Belfast Summons Court, Edmond Bamford and Robert Bamford, Saintfield Road, Belfast, were proceeded against by the Corporation for having sold sweetmilk on the 4th July which was deficient in milk fat to the extent of 13.3 percent. Mr. A. J. Lewis appeared for the prosecution and Mr. John Graham for the defence.  Evidence was given by Inspector Reynolds as to taking a sample of the milk and getting it analysed.  Mr. Graham said the defendants had purchased the milk from farmers.  Mr. Lewis said they had the remedy in their own hands by getting a guarantee, and then the farmers could be prosecuted.  Mr. Graham said the milk was purchased outside the city boundary, and the farmers who sold it could not be prosecuted.  If the rural authority was represented at the sale, then the farmers could be prosecuted either in the district in which the milk was purchased, or in the district in which it was vended. The milk in this case was warm, and could not have been tampered with by the defendants.  Mr. John Gray, R.M. - The man who sold this milk in the city, is as bad as the farmer who sold it to him.  Mr. Lewis - They should get a guarantee from the farmers.  Mr. Graham - farmers will not give a guarantee.  Mr. Lewis - Then they must take the consequence.  Mr. Joseph Mitchell - Were there any previous prosecutions?  Mr. Lewis - There was a fine of £10 in one case and a fine of £15 in another case.  A fine of £10 was inflicted in the case against Edmund Bamford, and the case against Robert Bamford was ruled in.
     Summonses were also brought against Samuel McCormick and Jane McCormick, 23 Leadbetter Street, for the sale of buttermilk containing 16.6 per cent. water in excess of the usual quantity allowed for churning.  Mr. Lewis appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. John Graham for the defence.  Evidence was given by Inspector Larmour, who stated that he took the sample on the 3rd July, and had it submitted for analysis, with the above result.  Mr. Lewis, in answer to the Bench, stated that these defendants had never been before the Court previously.  A fine of £5 was inflicted in the case of Samuel McCormick, and the case against Jane McCormick was ruled in.

Death of Mr. John Lowry
     The announcement of the sudden death of Mr. John Lowry, manufacturers' agent, who carried on business at 7 Pottinger's Entry, Belfast, has occasioned deep sorrow in commercial and social circles, and also at Portballintrae, where he resided with his wife and family of three daughters.  The deceased gentleman, whose city residence was in Ravenhill Gardens, with his family had resided during the summer months at Portballintrae, and it was here he had a sudden seizure late on Saturday evening. Medical aid was at once summoned, but despite the skilful attention bestowed on him by his devoted wife and Dr. McLeish, the patient passed away about four o'clock on Sunday morning.  Of a charming disposition, the late Mr. Lowry had a host of friends throughout the North of Ireland. A native of Glenarm, he was educated in Belfast, and served his apprenticeship to the hardware business with Messrs. Riddels, Ltd., Donegall Place, and on completing his time remained in the service of the firm for a period of some fifteen years. He later entered into business on his own account, and rapidly built up a large and flourishing connection with Irish and cross-Channel houses.  During the war years he had made many trips to England in connection with his commercial enterprises.  He was connected with the Masonic Order, being a member of Lodge 188, Rosetta.  An elocutionist of rare ability, his services were in great demand at local concerts and social gatherings.  He was also an ardent golfer, and of late years was a prominent and popular figure on the Portrush links.  The funeral will be private.

Flirting

     If the plan of a separate squad for everything were still in vogue in the Police Department a valuable suggestion could be appropriated from Cleveland.  The Chief of Police there established a Flirting Squad.  A score of the best-looking young policemen were detailed by Chief Kohler to detect girls and women who flirt.  They began last Sunday and made many arrests.  Flirting in public is more common in smaller places than in New York.  In most country villages a few girls manage to be at the station when the trains stop, to look over the arriving drummers.  In places the size of Cleveland the station habit is not so popular, but Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons the fashionable streets and the parks have women not averse to making acquaintances without the formality of an introduction.  Almost always flirting is innocent in its purpose.  It is natural for a young girl to seek admiration.  A homely woman or a girl poorly dressed and unkempt in appearance does not flirt.  A general sprucing up, a new hat, a pretty dress and a blithesome demeanor are preliminaries to a flirtation stroll.  A certain amount of flirting is a recognized feminine prerogative.  It is approved by the United States Government in laying out Flirtation Walk at West Point, where every cadet is expected to accumulate valuable experience.  So long as he is fearful of the glances from a pretty girl's eyes he is not fit to face the flashes of cannon and musketry.  Holding hands should not be confused with flirting.  Hand-holding prior to engagement is reprehensible.  It permits familiarity and impairs respect.  It is also unwise.  A girl is more likely to become engaged if she holds herself a little aloof.  The higher she values herself the more other people will value her.  Men are like a flock of sheep in many ways, and in none more than following a lead given them.  Every woman learns this in time.  A girl's looks or voice is what first attracts a man's interest, but it takes more that looks to hold attention and to command regard.  Wavy hair, peachy cheeks and rosebud lips are not the only or the most essential requirements to successful matrimony.  Girls who habitually flirt seldom get good husbands.  The men who enjoy flirting with them do not marry them, and other men are driven away.  Making acquaintances through flirting does not bring the kind of men friends whom a self-respecting girl should desire.  A man can usually find some way to secure a legitimate introduction if he is honestly attracted by a girl, and her encouragement of him had better be postponed until he had proved the sincerity of his interest by taking some preliminary trouble.  Still, if a girl wants to flirt, all the police in the world cannot prevent it.

The Soul of Belfast
1907

James Douglas writes in the "Morning Leader" :-
     It is easier to abuse Belfast than to understand it. I am not sure that Belfast understands herself, but I am quite sure that Dublin and London do not understand her.  The authorities have failed so completely to understand her that they have been compelled to place her under control of soldiers.  The presence of the soldiers in her streets is a gesture of despair.  If Belfast were an English city, her condition would not be viewed with languid bewilderment, for we should attempt to understand her, and we should not regard her as if she were a kind of Casa Blanca.
     Let us try to understand the soul of Belfast, for she is a city with a soul.  The fact that it is a turbulent soul ought to increase our interest in the problem.  There is some reason for the strange fact that she is not as humdrum as Liverpool or as mild as Manchester.  For generations she has been remarkable for two things - namely, revivals of religion and revivals of rioting.  She is the city of riots and religions.  It may seem absurd to suggest that there is any connection between her love of religion and her love of rioting, but I am sure that both are produced by the same cause.
     Belfast is a city which suffers from unsatisfied aspirations and baffled aims.  Her imagination is starved, and she is oppressed by an intolerably grey monotony.  She is the loneliest city in the world.  She would be happy is she were on the Clyde, for her blood is Scottish.  But she lives in exile amid an alien race.  She has ceased to be Scottish, and she is too proud to be Irish.  She has the hunger of romance in her heart, for she has lost her own past, and she is groping blindly after her own future.  She cannot identify herself with Ireland or with Scotland or with England, and she vehemently endeavours to give herself to each country in turn.  She is like a woman who dallies with three lovers, and cannot make up her mind to marry any of them.
     She is proud of her thrift, her splendid manufacturers, and her commercial energy, but a city does not live by trade alone, and in her heart there is a secret unrest.  That unrest manifests itself in her feverish passion for every form of emotional religion.  Everybody in Belfast has been converted over and over again, for the ecstasy of conversion helps her to express herself.  But these intermittent spasms of religious rapture do not suffice to appease her craving for excitement.  She has few other resources.  Her religious austerity has thrust the theatre beyond the pale.  The drama is taboo in Belfast, and the door of the theatre is regarded as the mouth of hell.  Belfast is a city without recreations.
     It might be thought that in her grey boredom Belfast would find consolation in literature, but, unfortunately, she is a city without books.  She borrows little, and, she buys less.  Her teeming population is satisfied with one small bookshop.  I believe there was once a second bookseller in Belfast, but after a while he faded away.  But if there are no bookshops there are many public houses.  Indeed, it may be said that the popular amusements in Belfast are public houses and churches.  When Belfast is not getting converted she is getting drunk.  The poorer the district the more public houses it contains.  It would be difficult to throw a stone in Belfast without breaking a tavern window.
     It would not be fair to ascribe the drunkenness of Belfast to her natural depravity.  She is not thirstier than any other city, but when she wished to amuse herself she drinks.  If you wish to know why she drinks you should inspect her elementary schools.  Many of them are cesspools of poverty - ovens un summer and ice houses in winter.  The children in them are undersized, underfed, and underclothes, and many of them go barefooted all the year round.  It is out of these children that rioters are made.  They have no recreations when they are young, and no recreations when they are old.  The children of the poor in Belfast sharpen their wits on the kerbstones, and the price which the city is paying to-day is the penalty of her neglect and her indifference.
     Anarchy in the schools breeds anarchy in the streets, and the community which shirks its duty to its citizens when they are young cannot complain if they shirk their duty to it when they are old.  A city without a civic conscience produces citizens without a civic conscience.  Lawlessness is the revenge of poverty, and the sooner we recognise its wild justice the better.  It is a mistake to attribute the lawlessness of Belfast to religious animosities.  Its roots strike down through the strata of religious hate into economic degradation.  Poverty is the mother of anarchy, and it is poverty that is the matter with Belfast.
     It is not surprising that half-starved and half-educated larrikins regard rioting as a purple patch in their dismal and desolate existence.  It is the only amusement they have, and they play at it as Englishmen play at football and cricket and golf.  During the riots of 1886 I was walking along a deserted street, feeling somewhat alarmed by its ominous emptiness.  They were peeping warily into the next street, and as I approached they motioned me to go back.  One of them had something hidden under his jacket.  It was an old pistol.  They told me with a touch of pride that they were waiting to get a shot at the police, a squad of whom were firing along another street some fifty yards away.
     They had no quarrel with the police.  They were simply imbued with the spirit of the sportsman who stalks a tiger or a lion, an elephant or a hippopotamus.  It is that spirit which makes Belfast joyously eager for a riot.  I once saw a Belfast mob merrily pursuing a policeman who was running for his life.  His helmet fell off, and the crowd jovially turned it into a football.  It did not really matter whether they kicked the policeman or his helmet.  Their temper was not essentially different from that of a mob of ladies and gentlemen whom I saw hunting a stag on Exmoor.  The ladies and gentlemen ate their sandwiches and drank from their flasks while the huntsmen cut up the carcase of the beautiful beast.
     One of the ladies accepted a hoof as a souvenir.  The only difference between the one hunt and the other was that the quarry in the one case was a Royal Irish constable and in the other a royal Devonshire stag.  If the Belfast rioters had been properly educated at the public school and the university they would hunt foxes and stags instead of policemen.  Human nature is a very romantic thing, and it rebels against the vapid dullness of life.  Its imagination will out, and if we do not provide safety valves it is bound to explode.  The poetry in the soul of Belfast does not express itself in art or literature or drama or music or games, therefore it expresses itself in riots.
     The only remedy is the provision of nobler means of expression through economic readjustment and education. It is a pity that the romantic energy of the poor should be wasted on stone-throwing, drinking, and religious faction fights.  It is useless to feed the soul of a city with police batons, ball cartridges, and fixed bayonets.  The soul of Belfast is suffering from starvation, and it is the business of statesmen to provide it with wholesome food.

Until that is done it will remain a city of riots that are like religions and religions that are like riots.

Belfast News-Letter March 30th 1929
Collapsed at Well - Brother's Tragic Find in Tyrone: An inquest touching the death of an elderly man named John McGale, of Tamlaght, Omagh, who was found dead in a well by his brother, was held at the deceased man's cottage yesterday by Captain W. H. Fyffe, M.B.E., Coroner.  Francis McGale, brother, said the deceased man was 70 years of age and unmarried. Witness and he resided together. On the previous day witness went to work, and when he returned in the evening his brother was missing. He made a search for him and found him, head downwards, in a well convenient to the cottage. He had talked of cleaning out the well, and witness thought he had gone to examine it.  Dr. D. F. Murnaghan, who, with Dr. J. E. McCauley, made a post-mortem examination of the body, said it showed no marks of violence. There was no evidence of death by drowning, and in his opinion deceased died from sudden failure of the heart, which showed marked signs of disease.  A verdict of death from heart disease was returned.
