UNCONSCIOUS ON ROAD.
QUEENSMAN'S ADVENTURE.
HURLED FROM HIS MOTOR-CYCLE.
Broken telegraph wires near the crossroads leading to Cultra are stated to have been responsible for a motor-cycle on the Bangor road shortly before midnight on Wednesday, as a result of which Mr. Raymond Colville Calvert has been detained in the Royal Victoria Hospital suffering from concussion.
Mr. Calvert, who is a student at University, is a son of Mr. W. H. Calvert, Banchory House, Helen's Bay, his father being a member of the firm of Messrs. Taylor, Calvert & Co., stockbrokers, Royal Avenue, Belfast.
He had spent Wednesday evening with some friends in Holywood, and set out for home about 11-30 o'clock. After about a mile and a half he was found thrown from his machine and was found unconscious on the road by Mr. Richard M'Kibbin, of Messrs. J. B. Ferguson, Ltd., who was motoring from Bangor.
A few minutes later Dr. Johnston, Dr. Morrison, and Dr. Glanvey, of the Royal Victoria Hospital, arrived on the scene in another car and rendered first aid. Mr. Calvert was then removed to hospital in Mr. M'Kibbin's car, being accompanied by one of the doctors.
Mr. Calvert recovered consciousness this morning and his condition is not regarded as being serious.
Sergeant Patton, of Holywood Police Barracks, examined the scene of the accident shortly after midnight.

SCENES AT STRABANE FAIR.

Mr. R. H. Carson, Crown Solicitor, prosecuted.
Constable Stewart gave evidence of interrogating prisoners at Strabane railway station on May 12, at 4 p.m. Witness next saw the prisoners at the railway station about eight o'clock at night. They were not wearing the same clothes as in the afternoon. Constable Craig stated that he saw the prisoners speaking to a man under the influence of drink. He took them to the barracks. Brown had then £2 14s 6d in his possession.
Constable Graham stated that he found in Shine's possession £2 15s 1d, and a number of documents.
Charles Laverty gave evidence to seeing the prisoners putting their hands into people's pockets on May 12.
John Ashenhurst said he saw prisoners mingling with a crowd entering a motor-bus. He saw Brown put his hand into the pocket of a man named Robert Moore. Witness afterwards saw Shine handing over notes to Brown.
Prisoners cross-examined the witnesses at great length, and afterwards addressed the jury.
His Honour said the accused had conducted their own defence with great ability.
The jury found the accused guilty, and they were each sentenced to three years' penal servitude.
His Honour said both of them had a long criminal record, having been convicted for offences all over the United Kingdom. The last conviction against Shine was in Berlin.
The police and civilian witnesses were commended by his Honour for their promptitude in putting an end to what might have led to serious results in Strabane.
