MR. WILLIAM WILSON.
Our readers, especially those in country centres, will regret to learn of the death of Mr. William Wilson, of Mount Sturt, which event took place at Miss Canning's boarding-house on Wednesday night. The late Mr. Wilson was laid up for a period of three weeks with pneumonia, and though he succeeded in getting rid of the attack he was left in an enfeebled condition. Other complications arose during the week, and it was recognised by his friends, and they are legion in the district, that his life was drawing to a close. Deceased, who was 70 years of age, was a native of Sutherlandshire, Scotland, and was generally regarded as an honourable, straightforward man. He was one of the early servants on Canning Downs Station—in the sixties, when the estate was under the management of the late Captain Daveney. Later he settled at Mount Sturt, on one of the best properties in the district, and proved himself to be one of our most successful farmers. He leaves a widow (nee Miss Tulloch), a sister to Mr. A. Tulloch, Mrs. G. Alexander, and Mrs. T. Hall, as well as a family of eight grown-up sons and daughters. The funeral took place yesterday forenoon, and was largely attended. The service at the grave was performed by the Rev. R. Kerr, assisted by the Rev. J. Sinclair (Killarney).

ASSAULT.
George Arthur Keong summoned John Page for assault.
In another information Mary Keong, summoned Arthur Page for assault. The two latter parties were each about 15 years of age. Mr. Oxenham appeared for both complainant and Mr Fuller for the defendants.
From the evidence of the complainants it appeared that the girl Mary Keong was going home from school on the previous Thursday when Arthur Page caught hold of her and would not let her go, she sent her younger brother for her father who came and struck Page twice with a saddle-strap; Page closed with him and the two fell, complainant uppermost; John Page, then came up, caught him by the hair and struck him twice on the neck and chin.
In defence it appeared that complainant's two boys called Arthur Page names; he ran after them when the girl Mary Keong struck him with a piece of paling; he attempted to take it from her when complainant came up; knocked him down, and knelt on him; John Page came up and pulled complainant off.
The Bench dismissed both cases.

The death took place late on Thursday night at the General Hospital of Mr. Henry Page, a very old and highly respected farmer of Emu Vale. Deceased, who had reached the ripe old age of 70 years, was born in Coventry, England, and came out to Queensland in the early days. Settling in Warwick he engaged in the carrying business with his father, but later the call of the land drew him to the beautiful agricultural areas surrounding Emu Vale. The late Mr. Page was a successful farmer, and by his upright life and honesty or character made himself very popular. He leaves a widow and grown-up family to mourn their loss. The funeral will take place this afternoon to the Warwick Cemetery, and the Rev. W. P. Glover will officiale at the graveside.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2.
(Before the Police Magistrate.)
PERJURY
Mary Page appeared on remand on the charge.
Messrs Fowler and O'Sullivan defended the accused. Senior Sergeant Grayson conducted the prosecution.
Charles Town deposed:-I reside at Strathane, and am a butcher: I know the accused and also John Page, and George Arthur Keong: I was present on the 4th August when a conversation took place between accused and her father; Keong said, "Well, Mary, you are going to get married, do you know how old your are; you are seventeen next month; if I am not your father I am your protector; you can't get married without my consent, if you do I shall bring you before the judge; you are not of age till you are twenty-one;" she said, "I will get married;" there was some more conversation, but I don't remember all of it; accused left her father's house before I went away.
By Mr. Fowles: I had a conversation with Keong yesterday, but not in reference to my evidence; there was no row between Mrs. Keong and accused when the conversation took place.
Archibald Stewart deposed: I am district registrar of births, marriages, and deaths, and reside at Warwick; I produce the registry for 1856; there is a entry of birth of Mary Keong, which states that she was born on the 26th September 1856; the (registry book was put in evidence, but it was objected to by Mr. O'Sulivan; the Bench however overruled the objection.)
By Mr. O'Sullivan; I know nothing whatever of my knowledge of the age of the accused; cannot swear that the Mary Keong now before the court is the same as that mentioned in the registry; the entry in the handwriting of the then registrar; I produce a certified copy of the registrar.
This concluded the evidence for the prosecuution.
Mr. O'Sullivan, for the accused, urged that there was no case made out.
The Police Magistrate differed with that view. The evidence of the father, and others showed that the declaration was taken by accused, although she had been informed before of her age.
The accused said in defence, "Three years ago my mother told me that I was eighteen years of age; she afterwards beat me and turned me out of my home because I would not marry a Chinaman; she said that if I would sign my property over she would consent to me marrying Page."
The following witness was also called:- Ann Chick deposed : I am a servant residing at Mr. Desbois: I know the accused and remember a conversation between her and her mother; the accused said to her mother "I am going to be married"; her mother said "you are old and big enough to be married, I was married before I was your age;" her mother also said "Mary, if you will give me a pound to buy some second-hand furniture I will give you my consent to your marriage."
This being the only evidence adduced the accused was committed to take her trial at the next sitting of the Supreme Court at Toowoomba.
Bail was allowed.

This was an application on behalf of Ellen Emily Hughes (40 years), wife of Hugh Evan Hughes, clothing presser, of Southport; Myrtle Miriam Burrows (31), wife of John Thomas Burrows, carpenter, of Southport, and Lily Glover Dauth (27), wife of Robert Frederick Dauth, of Mackay, joiner, for "adequate provision for proper maintenance and support" out of the estate of the late Eliza Jane Scarborough, late of Southport, wife of William Scarborough, retired butcher. William Scarborough also was joined as a party.
Mr. E. J. D. Stanley (instructed by Mr. R. M'Cowan) appeared for the applicants, Ellen Emily Hughes, Myrtle Miriam Burrows, and Lily Glover Dauth. Mr. W. L. D. Salkeld appeared for the Public Curator, executor and trustee under the will of Eliza Jane Scarborough. Mr. E. T. Real (instructed by Messrs. Crawford and Williamson) appeared for the respondent, Jane Wilson Woodcock. Mr. Stanley said the testatrix made a will in 1923, bequeathing £30 to each of the three applicants, and the residue to the respondent (Mrs. Woodcock), all of whom were her daughters. In August, 1927, she induced her husband to transfer to her a house and land at Southport, on condition that she would make another will giving him the right to live in the house for life, on his death the property to be equally divided between the four daughters. The transfer was completed on November 19 of the same year, and a few days afterwards testatrix took a stroke and died, and the will she intended to alter remained unaltered.
Percy Wright, engineer, employed by Messrs. Johnson and Freeman, Southport, said he knew William Scarborough and the late Eliza Scarborough. He often conferred with testatrix about a house that had been given to her by her husband. Mrs. Scarborough said she wanted to make a will to divide the property equally amongst her four daughters so that Janie (the respondent) would not grab the lot. Soon after that Mrs. Scarborough took a stroke, and never regained consciousness.
Victoria Wright, wife of the previous witness, gave corroborative evidence.
William Scarborough, retired butcher, of Southport, said he was married to testatrix on July 19, 1915. It was his wife's wish that the properly should be equally divided between her four daughters. She was particularly anxious that the youngest girl (Mrs. Dauth), to whom she had not spoken for two years, should benefit. The transfer was ready on August 25, 1927, but it was not put through until November 19 of the same year. He gave the deed to testatrix, who said she would alter her will immediately. She took a stroke, however, and died on the day she was going to make the property over. She was 60 years of age at the time of her death. He (witness) was 66.
In reply to his Honour witness said he was not favourably disposed towards Mrs. Woodcock, the respondent. Cross-examined by Mr. Real, witness said he was at the back of the proceedings; he was advising the applicants and financing them. He admitted having written to Mrs. Burrows: "As soon as Lady Jane (Mrs. Woodcock) enters the house have her arrested. Mother would never rest in her grave if she knew what a thief she had been." Mrs. Woodcock had been threatening to break into the house.
Mr. Real: Your feelings towards Mrs. Woodcock are very bitter?—I do not think I am bitter.
Did you write to Mrs. Woodcock saying you would give her a little cheap advice?—Yes.
Witness denied that he said: "You sign those papers, or they will have me behind them."
The further hearing was adjourned until 10.30 a.m. on the following day.
