A BRUTE OF A HUSBANID.
The following case, heard at the Brisbane Police court, is reported in Thursday's Courier:
Henry Dougherty was summoned by his wife, Ellen Dougherty, for assault.
Mr. H. W. Bowker conducted the case, and Mr. T. Bunton defended.
Mrs. Dougherty, a little, thin, care-worn woman, the mother of six children-deposed : I live in Bowen Bridge road, and remember the 28th of August last; that evening, between 7 and 8 o'clock, or perhaps later, my husband came home, and I gave him his dinner and tea together; he asked me to make up a bed in the next room for Ellen Murphy, who, although no relative, had been living in the house since the arrival of the Indus; she had gone out that morning, and I told him how it broke my heart to have her in the house, and requested him not to bring her back; he replied that he would have her there "in spite of God or the devil;" I said I would speak to Sir James Cockle, Sir Maurice O'Connell, and some others in the morning; with that he took a plate from the table and said be would break it on my head if I threatened him any more; he then went away, telling me to have the bed ready for the girl, and not to sit up, as he could let himself in; after waiting up for him till 12 o'clock I went to bed, as the child cried; he and Ellen Murphy came in about half-past 12, and I asked Ellen if that was a respectable hour of the night to be in company with my husband, after all that I had said; my husband replied by shutting his fist and shoving me back on an iron bedstead; I screamed and got up as soon as I was able; he then took a jug of water, and afterwards two chambers, and emptied their contents over me; next he ran towards me as if to strike me with his fist; But Ellen Murphy, who was in an adjoining apartment, came into the bedroom, caught him by the arm, and said, "Henry, dear, as my friend, don't do any more to-night; let me get out of the house first ;" my little girl here got out of bed, crying; my husband asked her why she cried, and she said, "' You are going to kill my mother;" he then took her up and beat her very hard; my night dress being wet, as well as the bed, I asked Ellen Murphy twice to open the door to let me get some dry clothing, but she did not answer; my husband then came forward and said, "Open the door, Ellen, I am here," and the door was opened; after procuring dry clothing, and a change of blankets, I went to bed again, as the child was crying; my husband got up the next morning and went out.
Mr. Bunton objected to the witness going any further.
Mr. Bowler then put the following questions :---Q. Have you seen any acts of familiarity between your husband and Ellen Murphy ? A. Yes ; I disapproved of Ellen Murphy washing and dressing her self in my bed-room along with my husband.-Q. What acts of familiarity have you seen ? A. I have seen my husband take her out of bed in his arms and kiss her.-Q. And all in your presence, his wife? A. Yes, sir; I went to the room door and saw it.-Q. Were you ever asked to give up any articles of jewellery for Ellen Murphy ? A. The day after her arrival at the depot he took a watch which he had presented to me and hung it round her neck; also, a ring which he gave me when my first baby was born, and a gold brooch-this he asked me for, because it corresponded with the watch.-Q. All to make the suite more complete for Ellen Murphy ? A. Yes; she wore them in my presence several times.--Q. Had you ever to leave his house from fear of violence ? A. Yes; on one occasion I ran out between 9 and 10 o'clock; he had torn the clothes from my back and given me a kick.--- He is rather fond of breaking crockery, is he not ? A. One night he broke every thing in the house, excepting a chandelier, a kerosine lamp, and one or two other things; there was not a cup to take breakfast out of the next morning.-Q. Are you afraid of him ? A. Yes; I lose all strength when I see him; I met him once recently, and if he had only blown his breath he would have knocked me down. Witness described other facts of familiarity which she had observed, adding that the parties used to follow each other about the house.
Cross-examined by Mr. Bunton: I never threatened to stab Miss. Murphy; it is five months since I was forced to leave the house; the first time I left was when he broke the plates and kicked me.
Mrs. Paddle, of O'Connell Town, interrogated by Mr. Bowker:,Q. Have you seen acts of familiarity between the defendant and Ellen Murphy ? A. They always walked with their arms round one another's waists, and I have seen them kissing in Bowen Bridge road.--Q. Would you let the woman into your house ? A. O dear no.--Q. Have you seen them on any other occasion ? A. Yes; sitting together near the Bowen Bridge road, when the moon was just rising; this was the weeks before the 29th of August; I had heard a great deal, as they are in everybody's mouths; so I followed them in order to make sure.-Q. You have seen them kissing ? A. Oh, that nothing new.--Q She had his arm, I suppose ? She was leaning on him; I cannot describe it, as it was very peculiar. (Laughter.) -Q. Had she his arm ? A. Her arm was round him, and his arm was round her.
Mrs. Crishold, examined by Mr. Bowker, said she had seen defendant throw things at his wife, who, with her children, had been obliged to take refuge in her house and stay there all night; she had also seen him kiss Ellen.Murphy; on the day she arrived he put his arm round her and lifted her out of the cab; saw them picking mushrooms together in the paddock, and when one stooped the other stooped also; in February last, saw defendent throw plates at his wife; had been told by defendent, in his own kitchen, that he intended Ellen Murphy for his next wife; asked Mrs. Dougherty once how she liked it (referring to the acts of familiarity described), and she said it was the first thing in the morning and the last at night; there was no need to watch, these people, the thing was quite public.
Mr. Bunton objected to the proceedings, on the ground that the assault, if committed at all, took place on the 29th of August, as shown by .complainant's evidence; but the Bench held that the mistake was not likely to mislead, and amended the summons by inserting the words ".28th or 29th of August."'
Miss Ellen Murphy was then placed in the box, and examined by Mr. Bunton. (She seemed to feel her position.) She said she had been residing at Mrs. Dougherty's since arriving in the colony; on the morning of the 28th of August she went into town to look after a situation, because she felt it uncomfortable to stay with Mrs. Dougherty, who had threatened to poison her and stab her with a knife; she came home with the defendant that night; on entering the house, his wife ran at him and asked him to strike her, but he did not do so--he merely threw a jug of water over her, saying he would not strike her, but he would cool her; he did not throw anything else over her; witness did not say "Henry; dear," &c., as alleged; never sat on the Bowen Bridge Road kissing him; had kissed them all on her arrival, as she was well acquainted with the family, defendant being her foster-brother; no familiarities had been practised out of Mrs. Dougherty's sight, and defendant's arms had never been round her waist.
Cross-examined by Mr. Bowker: Q. In what capacity are you staying with defendant? A. 'Till I get a situation.-Q. Did you call on Lady Normanby ? A. I had letters of introduction to her ladyship, which I left; but when I went back I found that Mrs. Dougherty had been there, and I was told that her ladyship would have nothing to do with me; I afterwards lost another situation in the same way. Q. When did you discover your relationship to the defendant; were you called foster brother and sister in Ireland ? A. It was known very well there what we were.-Q. Were you afraid when Mrs. Dougherty threatened you ? A. Yes.-Q. And you still remain in the house ?-(No answer.)-Q. Did she ever complain of her husband kissing you ? A. Yes.-Q. Why didn't you leave the house at once, if you are an honest woman, when you found that you were going between husband and wife ? (No answer.)--Q. Are you so fond of your foster-brother that you could not leave him ? A. That was the only place I had to go to; Mrs. Dougherty knew why I was there.-Q. Do you expect to get a situation soon ? A. I hope so. Q. Are you staying there as Dougherty's mistress ? No, sir, I am not.-Q. Will you also swear that you have never kissed him on the Bowen Bridge road ? A. I will, sir.-Q. Never had your arms round him ? A. Never, sir.-Q. And the statements made about kissing, and so forth, by the three witnesses are all lies ? Yes, sir.
Mr. Bowker: I thought so; I shall ask no more questions.
In reply to the Bench, witness said she had told Mrs. Dougherty of her relation to her husband; she also stated that she was thirty-four years of age. Re-examined by Mr. Bowker: Q. Could foster brother marry a foter sister ? A. I don't know; nothing of the sort was ever talked about.---Q. Could they ? A. I have never studied such things. (Laughter.) Mr. Bowker: A man cannot marry his grandmother. (Laughter.)
Mrs. Dougherty recalled, said she had once seen Ellen Murphy in defendant's father's house; had heard nothing about foster brother and sister till after she left the house; now the story was going. Mr. Bunton contended that defendant had received great provocation and that the assault, if committed, at all, was of a trivial description. Mr. Bowker took a very different view, contending that nothing but imprisonment would meet the merits of the case.
The Bench characterized the case as one of a very aggravated nature, and commented severely upon the conduct of tile defendant, who was ordered to pay a fine of £10, with one guinea professional costs, and 4s. 6d. costs of Court; in default, two months' imprisonment with hard labour; also to enter into recognizances to keep the peace for six months, himself in £fO, and two sureties in £20 each.
