EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENCES. At the Belfast Police Court, on Tuesday, Peter FALLON, a man apparently about 60 years of age, and dressed in the garb of a Roman Catholic ecclesiastic, was brought up before Mr. O'DONNELL, R.M., and Dr. BROWNE, R.N., J.P., charged with obtaining money under false pretences. Mr. J. J. MAGRATH, poulterer (?), Arthur square, deposed that the prisoner entered his shop on Friday last, dressed in the garb of a friar or "lay brother." He asked witness for a subscription towards a friary in Limerick. Witness asked him if he had the authority of the Bishop for collection subscriptions. The prisoner replied that he had not, but expressed the hope that witness would be as good as he had been on former occasions. Witness declined giving anything, on account of what he had seen in a paragraph in one of the Belfast papers. Witness understood that prisoner had solicited subscriptions from other parties in town. Mrs. Margaret CLOUGHEY, 25 Annestreet, deposed that the prisoner came to her house on Monday dressed in the same way as he now appeared in the dock. Witness believed him to be a priest, and gave him a subscription of 5s. on his representing that he was collecting money in aid of a chapel in Galway. He told her that he had previously received a subscription from Mrs. FETHERSTONE for the same object. Mr. COULTER produced a number of letters found on the prisoner, and said it appeared from them that he had formerly been a member of some order, but had been discharged. Constable RYAN, of the Detective force, deposed that the prisoner was arrested by Sub-constable GALLAGHER. The letters and book produced were found on his person. The book contained a long list of subscriptions collected in various parts of Ireland for Roman Catholic religious purposes. Witness saw the prisoner in the police office, and he said he had at one time been a "lay brother," but had left in consequence of a disagreement between himself and another member. He now intended to collect money for the confraternity, for which purpose he intended to visit America. The prisoner said he had previously collected large sums of money for religious objects in Dublin, Cork, Galway, and Limerick. Mr. O'Donnell said that did not bear on the present case, and remanded the prisoner in custody for a week. Irish Times. (County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project)
