A WOULD-BE SUICIDE
About 12.30pm yesterday, an elderly looking woman was observed walking on the opposite side of the river by several people living near the banks of the River Ribble at Walton. Suspicious that the woman was labouring under suicidal notions, the parties watched her proceedings. She was seen to wander along the edge of the river up to a curve opposite Walton Church, when she was lost to view.
Shortly after she appeared again, and, after carefully inspecting the windings of the river, as if seeking for a spot where the river was deep, she was seen to plunge into the river, which was much swollen at the time.
An alarm being raised, Mr. James McKie, dyer, Walton, pulled off his coat, jumped into the water, and with considerable difficulty managed to effect a crossing, with a strong current running at the time. He ran along the edge of the water until he came up to the place where the woman had plunged in, and at once went into the water and rescued her. Mr. Mckie afterwards went with her to the Shawe's Arms to refresh herself after he manoeuvres. She refused to inform Mr. McKie where she came from, what her name was, or why she had made an attempt on her life.
It was subsequently ascertained that her name is Mary WILSON, and that she was formerly lived in the General Codrington Inn, New Hall Lane, in the town, and afterwards at the Lamb Inn, King Street, and that she has for some time been affected with a low intellect.

ANCIENT FOOTPATHS ASSOCIATION
The footpath from the Shawe's Arms, Fishwick, along the River Ribble towards the Fisherman's Cabin, has recently been blocked up by the owner, Mr. Shawe, of Church Street. The inhabitant of Preston, and especially those who reside in London Road and vicinity, think this step a gross injustice, and on Wednesday night last a public meeting was held at the Cheetham Arms, London Road, to consider what steps should be taken in the matter.
The chair was taken by James Ellison at 8pm, and the room was full.
The following resolution was proposed and universally carried, "That a deputation be chosen from this meeting shall wait upon Mr. Knowles." Mr. Shawe of Church Street is owner of the land, but Mr. Knowles is his heir, and now that Mr. Shawe has arrived at such an age as to be quite incapable of attending to his affairs, the matter is left entirely in the hands of Mr. Knowles.
The deputation, which consisted of Me
Pssrs. William Pearson, Walter Stuart and Robert Wearden, waited upon Mr. Knowles at Fishwick Hall, on Thursday night. They explained their errand. Mr. Knowles said that he might open the road in a few weeks, but that it never really was a road.
The deputation told him that they had travelled the road for the last 40 years, and if they required, they could find people who could speak of a longer period. He also said that if they were determined to open the road, he hoped they would come at daylight, and he would fight them manfully (in law), but if any respectable man wished to walk by the river side he would willingly give him a pass. The meeting was adjourned until Wednesday evening next.
Inhabitants in the neighbourhood of Fishwick are ready to pay subscriptions, if necessary, to defray any expenses that may be incurred by a trial.

RUNAWAY HORSE AT PRESTON
James Carter of 49, Queen Street, was driving a horse down Hudson Brow when one of the harness chains snapped, and the animal bolted down the brow at a furious gallop. Being unable to take Walton Bridge, the horse and vehicle crashed into the wall of the Shawe's Arms, of which Mr. Lobban is licensee. The cart being overturned, Carter escaped injury by jumping from the vehicle.
The horse was slightly injured, the cart damaged, and also considerable damage to the licensed premises.

A proposal to sell about 1405 sq. yards of land at the rear of the Shawe's Arms, London Road, to a brewery company was discussed.
It was suggested that the Corporation might need the land for improvement developments in the future.
The subject arose in the Minutes of the Estate and Cemetery Committee who proposed that, subject to the approval of the Minister of Health, the land should be sold to the company for £100, on terms and conditions settled by the District Valuer.
Alderman T. C. Rainford asked whether that was a fair price as it only worked out at 1s 6d a yard.

PRESTON PROPERTY DEALS
In his evidence, John Masheter said that he made a profit of £750 on the purchase and sale of the Shawe's Arms, in 1920. Before the property had been conveyed to him, he had sold it again. A profit of £50 was made on the purchase and sale of a house in London Road, Preston. The money received for the sale of the house was handed to his son, Joseph, to put in the bank.
Only £510 out of £560 was put in the bank, and he did not authorise Joseph to retain any part of the money.
During examination of John Masheter, Sir Herbert Cunliffe KC, for the defendant, pointed out that the plaintiff now claimed he was a partner in the farm, and in the market gardener business, and that the motor business was his own.
