| District Court |
IPSWICH.
[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
March 21.
THE criminal sitting of the District Court was commenced here this morning before his Honour Judge Paul. Mr. H. M. Murray-Prior acted as Crown Prosecutor.
William Loftus, alias Walter Hollman, was then put upon his trial for having attempted to commit a criminal assault upon one Christina Rossow, at Esk, on the 24th February last. Prisoner pleaded not guilty, and was undefended. From the evidence of the prosecutrix it transpired that the prisoner went to her residence about 8 o'clock on the evening of the date mentioned and asked for a drink of water. Her husband was away, and there was only herself and a child 2 years old in the house at the time. A few words passed, and prosecutrix went out on the verandah; prisoner followed her and asked for another drink of water, which was given him. The woman then went inside and the prisoner followed her and shut the door; she became alarmed and ran outside; the prisoner followed her and dragged her back to the house and attempted the offence complained of. The child of the prosecutrix began to scream, when the prisoner desisted from his purpose and ran away. Several other witnesses were examined for the prosecution, and none were called for the defence. The prisoner stated that he had subpoenaed three witnesses, but they had not appeared. The jury found the prisoner guilty of attempted rape, and he handed in a statement to the effect that he was not the man who had committed the assault, and that he had always borne a good character. His Honour recorded sentence of two years' imprisonment in Brisbane Gaol.

| Notes |
- Win Brighton's stories of her grandparents:
My only memory of my Grandmother Christina is being lifted up to the big feather bed to kiss her goodbye the day she died. I was 4½ years old.
My mother Warril told me Christina was a strong willed little lady who could wrap Charles around her little finger. When a barn dance was being held in their area, Grandfather would forbid the girls in the family to go. Grandmother would tell them to get dressed, the boys would have the horses ready and off they would go and nothing was ever said next day.
Grandfather decided if the family used separated milk, he would have more cream to sell. Grandmother had a little glass jug (I still have it) that she sent to the dairy for her cream each day.
He was an old man when I remember him. He used to come and stay with us for a few weeks at a time. He was very well groomed.
Grandmother liked to sew, crochet and embroider, she did not like outside work, according to my Mum.
