COMIC SITUATION IN CO. LEITRIM.

SELF-APPOINTED WORKERS.

COUNCIL RECOMMENDS PAYMENT.

A remarkable situation has arisen in County Leitrim over the payment of a number of self-appointed workers on the Council's road relief schemes.

At a special meeting of the Council on Monday, the Surveyor, Mr. E. O'Neill Clarke, said that a number of men took it on themselves to start work without the Council's sanction, and seeing that they acted in defiance of the Council, he could not see his way to pay them. If a body of men could proceed to work when they pleased and were paid for it, it would soon be absolutely impossible to carry out the work of the Council in a businesslike way. Such a state of things could not be tolerated, particularly as one of his assistants had received a note front someone signing himself "I.R.A.," giving a strong hint, if the payment was not made, what would happen. If he (the surveyor) sanctioned payment in such circumstances he would not be worth his salt, and he would not do so unless he received a direction from the Local Government Department.

The Chairman (Mr. M. Carter) said it was decided by a committee at a previous meeting to pay these men, and he did not see how the Council could go back on that. The men wanted a few shillings and they worked in ignorance of the law.

A number of members expressed themselves as opposed to payment under these circumstances.

It was decided, however, that the Department be asked to authorise the payment of the unauthorised workers, but that if such a situation should arise in future no payment be made under any circumstances.

MORE ULSTER PARISH MEETINGS.

OFFICE BEARERS FOR YEAR.

ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S, STRAMILLIS.

The yearly general Vestry meeting of this parish was held in the Church Hall, Stranmillis Road, the rector presiding.

The hon. treasurer (Captain C. W. Hinds) presented the financial statement which, while encouraging from many view-points, still showed a debt to the bank at the end of the financial year of some £2,400 odd.

The rector (Rev. Herbert Lindsay) in reviewing the work of the past year, thanked the heads of the different departments who, with him, agreed that the church could not be on a firm footing until all debts were completely wiped off. In this matter St. Columba's had set every parish a noble example, and the efforts of St. Bartholomew's Church Guild to follow suit were most praiseworthy under Mrs. Rutherford as well as those of their congregation and friends in general. Were it not for the generous help given them by the Representative Church Body they would even now be worse off. As it is the strain and stress of the present circumstances make the matter of soliciting subscriptions most difficult, and especially in view of the fact that the same sources have been tapped again and again.

The following were elected to office:-- Captain C. W. Hinds, rector's churchwarden and hon. treasurer (re-elected); Mr. George Hammond, people's churchwarden; Mrs. Bell, Mrs. Rutherford, Mrs. Timbey and Messrs. Stanford, Doolan, Wiltshire, Davis, W. H. Howe, Roberts, S. G. Forsythe, C.B.E., J.P., T. C. Hunter and W. Rutherford (hon. solicitor); synodsmen, Messrs. Forsythe, C.B.E., J.P., Hunter, Allen and Rutherford; parochial nominators, Messrs. James Allen, S. Townsley, and T. C. Hunter; supplemental nominators, Messrs. Doolan, John Faulkner and S. G. Forsythe, C.B.E. An enthusiastic vote of thanks to the rector and his curate was passed unanimously on th emotion of Mr. S. G. Forsythe, seconded by Mr. T. C. Hunter. Both having replied the meeting closed with the Benediction. At a subsequent Select Vestry Messrs. Hinds and Wiltshire were re-elected to their former respective offices.

ST. MARK'S, DUNDELA.

The annual Easter Vestry of the parish took place on April 21, the rector, Canon E. C. Hayes, M.A. presiding. The following appointments were made:-- Rector's churchwarden, Mr. R. de B. Chamberlain; people's churchwarden, Mr. W. F. Minnis; parochial nominators, Messrs. Harold V. Coates; James A. Thompson, W. F. Min- nie ; supplemental parochial nominators, Messrs. R. F. Davis, C. Gordon Ewart and John A. Stewart; diocesan synodsmen, Messrs. Harold V. Coates, W. F. Minnis, C. Gordon Ewart, Master Meglaughlin, Messrs. T. H. C. Steadman, Henry Garrett; select vestry in alphabetical order, Messrs. W. E. Armstrong, H. J. Campbell, Harold V. Coates. J. G. Douglas, Sir R. H. Ewart, Bart.; Messrs. C. Gordon Ewart, Henry Garrett, A. W. Greeves, William Hamilton, T. H. C. Steadman, J. A. Stewart and James A. Thompson.

The following names were added to the list of sidesmen -- Messrs. W. W. Cunningham, James Watterson, R. A. Mitchell, jun.; W. E. H. Drake and Woods.

The St. Brendan's office-bearers and committee were confirmed in their various offices and are as follows:-- Rector's warden, Mr. Hamilton; people's warden, Mr. M'Cormick; hon. treasurer, Mr. Thos. Paisley; hon. secretary, Mr. Thos. M'Cullough; hon. duplex treasurer, Mrs. A. Prytherch; hon. auditor Mr. F. A. Maitland; committee -- Messrs. Douglas, Paisley, Henderson, Ryan, Ewart, Hewardine, Ebbitt M'Cullough, Mrs. Crawford, Mrs. Eccles, Mrs. Prytherch and Mrs. Lockart.

The usual vote of thanks was proposed and the meeting terminated with the Benediction.

At a subsequent meeting of the Select Vestry Mr. Harold V. Coates was appointed hon. secretary to the Select Vestry, Mr. John A. Stewart was appointed hon. treasurer, and Messrs. G. Baker and Robt. Thompson hon. auditors.

SWEEP TICKET PRIZE. BEJ,FAST WOllAN'S CLHM.

ACTION BEGUN IN DUBLIN.

An !action over a sweepstake ticket prize in which a Belfast woman is plaintiff was mentioned in the High Court, Dublin.

Counsel for Miss Margaret Killoran, 4 Hartington Street, Belfast, applied, for liberty to serve a subpoena out of jurisdiction on Robert D. Kennedy, Skegoniel Ave., Belfast, and N.K. Stewart, a reporter, "Northern Whig," Belfast, to give evidence at the trail of the action.

The defendants are George Allen, Ballygrot, Helen's Bay, Co. Down, and Albert Smyth, 87 Ormeau Road, Belfast.

The plaintiff, it was stated, is a barmaid employed in "The Hemisphere," Pottinger's Entry, Belfast.

In her statement of claim she alleges that the defendant's verbally agreed with her jointly to purchase the ticket, she contributing 2s 6d and the defendants the remainder of the money. She wrote the name and address of the defendant, George Allen, on the counterfoil.

The defendants in their defence denied the alleged agreement and stated that the plaintiff did not contribute any sum in respect of the price of the ticket and that the prize money was their absolute property.

Mr. M'Gonigal, for the plaintiff, said that Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Stewart could give evidence of statements made by the defendants conflicting with and contradicting their claims that they were entitled to equal shares in the ticket and that the plaintiff had no interest in it.

ARMAGH BOY'S DEATH.

PINNED TO WALL BY LORRY.

JURY'S VERDICT OF ACCIDENT.

An inquest was held in the Armagh Infirmary to-day by Mr. J.A. Peel (coroner) touching the death of Patrick J.Largey (14) who died as a result of injuries sustained in an accident at Armagh yesterday evening.

Head-Constable Reid appeared for the Crown and Mr. F. Anderson represented the owner of the lorry, the driver, and a boy who was turning the lorry at the time the accident happened.

Patrick Largey, Ogle Street, gave evidence of identification.

Francis Hughes (12) said he was playing with the deceased and some other boys in a lane. The lorry came into the lane and was being reversed when witness heard a moan. On turning round he saw deceased jammed against the wall by the lorry. There were some goods on the lorry covered by a tarpaulin, which obscured the window at the rear of the cab.

William Hughes, Killylea, said on going down the lane he saw two boys who appeared to be trying to get up on the back of the lorry. The vehicle was backing slowly when he first saw it.

Patrick J. Trodden said he stopped the lorry at the yard to take on a load. He left Patrick Digby, aged 17, of Lower Irish Street, Armagh, in the lorry and when leaving Digby asked permission to turn the lorry, but witness did not reply. He went into a yard and heard the engine being started and on going out saw the lorry further up the lane. The deceased was lying on the ground.

Dr. Herron, house surgeon, said deceased was dead on admission. Death was due to crushing of the chest followed by cardiac failure.

Patrick Digby, in evidence, said in Trodden's absence he attempted to turn the lorry. When reversing out of the gateway he asked the boys if everything was allright behind and they replied, "Back away."

The jury returned a verdict in accordance with medical evidence, adding that in their opinion the affair was a pure accident.

The Coroner, Head-Constable Reid and Mr. Anderson expressed sympathy with the relatives.

BALLYMENA COLLISION.

EVANGELIST WINS APPEAL.

LORD JUSTICE ANDREWS' FINDING.

In the Ulster High Court, to-day, an appeal arising out of a collision in Ballymena between two motor-cars was heard by Lord Justice Andrews.

The defendant was Thomas Wallace, Larne Road, Ballymena, an evangelist, who appealed against a decree for £25 given at the Ouarter Sessions at Ballymena in an action brought by John Black, Crebilly, farmer, for damage to his car on December 3 last. Mr. J. M'Sparran (instructed by Messrs. Caruth & Owens) appeared for Black, and Mr. E. S. Murphy, K.C., M.P. (instructed by Mr. A. L. M'Clelland) for Wallace.

The evidence for the appellant was that he was proceeding along Henry Street, Ballymena, in the direction of Larne Road, and as he was about to pass James Street Black's car shot out, a collision being inevitable. The appellant stated that he had his headlights on, as it was a dark night, and he thought it was unnecessary to sound his horn. He put on the brakes and swerved on seeing that a collision was inevitable, but struck the front part of Black's car.

The case for Black was to the effect that he sounded his horn twice before coming out on the street, and was full length across the street when Wallace, who was travelling fast, crashed into him.

Constable Goucher, who examined the cars, said he found them locked.

His Lordship held that Black, coming out of the side road, was guilty of negligence, and that Wallace had done all that was possible to avert the accident. He reversed the decision of the county court judge and upheld the appeal with costs.
