There were two pieces in this week’s Batley News relating to the parish of St Mary’s. Spelling and punctuation matches that of the newspaper.
There was one St Mary’s teaching appointment, amongst several this week made across Batley schools by Batley Elementary School Management Committee. Miss A. T. Twomey (untrained certificated) was to be employed at St. Mary’s R.C. Girls’ on an annual salary of £120. The appointment was subject to the approval of the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Committee.
Mary Rush was before the magistrates….again.
ANOTHER “BURST” —Mary Rush, Cross Street, Batley, against whom there were eight previous convictions, was fined 13s. on Monday for having been drunk and disorderly at Birstall. It was alleged that she sat in the pavement and cursed everybody, particularly Constable McQueen, who locked her up. —“I thought I’d waned off getting drunk, but I broke out again it appears,” was the explanation she gave to the magistrates.
