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.

1927 ULSTER NEW YORK FIRE
CHIEF
TOUR IN NATIVE PROVINCE
Lieut. Dennison Revisits Belfast
|

|
Of County Armagh
birth, Lieutenant Joseph Dennison, of the New York City Fire Department,
accompanied by his two sisters, has been revisiting his native Ulster
and took occasion before returning to the State to avail of the
opportunity of making an inspection of the Belfast Fore Brigade
Headquarters. Lieut. Dennison, who is an experienced officer of
the great New York fire-fighting department, was received with
characteristic courtesy by the superintendent, Mr. James Stafford (who,
by the way, was presented three years ago with the Long Service Medal of
the Professional Fire Brigade Officers' Association), and conducted over
the splendidly-equipped Chichester Street concern.
The New York fire officer took a keen interest
in all the details of the plant, machinery, and organisation, and
expressed himself delighted at the spic and span appearance of the
brigade headquarters in all departments, the arrangements for expeditious
reception of news of fires and turn-out of men and machines. He
also said he was much impressed by the system of training firemen for
altitudes - an opinion which derives significance from the fact that New
York is the home of "sky-scrapers"; and he admired the system
of housing in the married quarters.
Lieutenant Dennison also made a round of the
City Hall and other public buildings, and saw through the offices of the
"Belfast Telegraph" in the numerous departments. During his
visit, Lieut. Denison and his sisters made stay with their aunt Mrs.
Magee, at Drumadd, Co. Armagh. Before taking up his appointment in
the New York Fire Department some eleven years ago, Lieut. Denison has
held a responsible position in the extensive stores of the firm of
Messrs. Rogers, Peet. He sailed via Queenstown last night
(Friday). |
ABANDONED MOTOR-CAR
SUICIDE OF CRIPPLE OWNER Three
weeks ago a motor-car, with headlights full on, was found at Swarkestone
Bridge, six miles from Derby. There was nobody in attendance, but on
the driver's seat was found a pamphlet opened at a page containing an article
entitled "Suicides in everyday life." Recently the body of
the owner of the car, Mr. George Harry Pass, of Hillside, Little Eaton, was
recovered from the river Derwent, and at an inquest conducted on Friday a
verdict of suicide whilst of unsound mind was returned. Witnesses
stated that Pass, who was a cripple, had complained of pains in his
feet. He had no financial worries, however, being a director of a
leading garage in the town of Derby. BELFAST

Francis Anderson, son of Mr. Francis Anderson, 17 Sherwood Street,
Belfast, has been awarded a certificate of merit, being the second
prizewinner in the Duke of Cumberland's essay competition in connection

MADE HOBBY OF SAVING LIFE. A
sea career, with a record of heroism honoured by the King and the
Government, has been brought to a close by the retirement of Captain John
Parry, O.B.E., of the Leyland Line. In 1882, when second mate of the
Clydevale, he jumped overboard and rescued a sailor of the Elizabeth, in
Malaga. In 1898, as chief officer of the Ottoman, he took 37 of the
crew of the Scotsman off the rocks at Belle Isle.
In 1906, as captain of the Bostonian, he rescued 18
of the crew of the British King, and received plate from the Government, and
the Shipwreck and Humane Society's gold medal, the New York Life-saving gold
medal, and the Emile Robins award for the most meritorious act of the year.
In 1912 he prevented an insane man from jumping
overboard.
In 1917, as captain of the Georgian, he went down
with his ship, got into a collapsible boat, and rescued nine Greek soldiers.
In 1920, as captain of the Oxonian, he rescued 25
of the crew of the Bradboyne, in a heavy gale in the North Atlantic.
He received the O.B.E. for services during the war. TWO

McBride, Bladon Park, Belfast, linen merchant, chairman of McBride &
Co. Ltd., left £70,115. Amongst the bequests is £200 to his
coachman, Wm. Malcomson. He had left by his will several legacies to
charities, but these were revoked by codicil. Mr.

the bequests are £200 to All Souls', Elmwood Avenue, Belfast, and £100 to
the minister; £500 to the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast; £500 to the

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.
TRAGEDY ON ULSTER QUEEN
MAN HANGING IN STOKEHOLD

Victoria Hospital, but was dead. It is understood that he leaves a
wife and five children.
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.

General News

item....
.........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.

DEATH OF REV. J. B. BRADSHAW
RECTOR OF ALL SAINTS
The death
occurred with tragic suddenness on Monday night of Rev. J. B. Bradshaw,
M.A., rector of All Saints' Parish Church, Belfast, and is deeply
regretted by his many friends.
Seemingly
in his usual health, Mr. Bradshaw spent the weekend at Ballycastle with
his only son, Mr. Arthur Bradshaw, who recently joined the Army from
Campbell College.
When he
returned on Monday evening he complained of feeling unwell and went to
his sister's nursing home. There it was apparent that he was
seriously ill and despite the fact that the most expert medical advice
was called he gradually sank and passed away.
Mr.
Bradshaw was the only son of the late Mr. J. B. Bradshaw, who resided at
Eglantine Avenue, and of Mrs. Bradshaw, now of Ballygally, Co. Antrim.
He took his
degree at Trinity College, Dublin. Ordained in 1914, his first curacy was
the parish of St. Mary Magdalene, Belfast. In 1916 he was appointed
curate of the Cathedral, Lisburn, and in 1923 he was selected as rector
of Aghalee.
In 1930
All Saints' became vacant through the appointment of Rev. R. H. C.
Elliott to St. Patrick's, Ballymacarrett, and Mr. Bradshaw was chosen for
this important parish.
Courteous,
kindly and sympathetic, he made many friends amongst all classes of the
community during his thirteen years' service there, and his passing is
genuinely mourned.
He was
beloved by his parishioners and the news of his death came as a terrible
shock to them, many not knowing that he was ill.
He is
survived by his wife, who is a daughter of Mr. Joseph Lockhart,
solicitor, Lisburn; his son, mother, and sister with all of whom the
deepest sympathy is expressed. |

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" Belfast
