AN ARSON CHARGE. The Crown Prosecutor presented an indictment against Ferdinand Salisbury Reid Faithfull, charging him, that on I8th November, at Townsvllle, he wilfully and unlawfully set fire to a dwelling house. The prisoner entered a plea of guilty. Mr. Townley, for the prisoner, said his client was a youth of 18 years of age, and came of a very respectable family. His father died when he was 14 years of age, and the defendant left school when 16. Since then he was employed at an ice works for eighteen months in Townsville, and later worked on two stations in the west. His mother remarried some three years ago, and it was for the step-father and his partner that the defendant worked in the ice works. The defendant informed him he was put off by his step-father's partner because he failed to do some work that was too heavy for him. Unfortunately, there was one previous conviction against him, for having stolen a watch and two blank cheques, when he was released on his own bond to come up for sentence within six months if called upon. He submitted that although the offence was a serious one, this attempt was. His Honor: What were the circumstances ? Mr. Townley said the defendant and his step-father and mother had resided in the house and vacated it on 16th or 17th November to go to another house in Hermit Park, owing to the owner, a Mrs. Wheeler, going to live there. Early on the morning of November 18, the house was discovered to be on fire and inflammable spirit had been put in two places. The fire was quenched and very little damage was done. When interviewed in the afternoon by the police, the prisoner had given a full and free confession which he later reiterated in writing. It appears he had an argument with Mrs. Wheeler's son who said, I suppose you think you are flash in your new house, I'll bum it down, to this the defendant replied I'll get in first. He pointed out that the house was unoccupied at the time and no lives were endangered. The defendant appeared to him to be of weak intellect. His Honor: Has he been examined by the Government Medical Officer, Mr. Ross? Mr. Ross: No. Mr. Townley said he had been examined by Dr. Taylor on his mother's instructions, and had been pronounced legally sane. His Honor: I would like to have a report; it certainly will influence me in sentencing him. Mr. Townley agreed it was an important point. There was no motive for the offence and nothing could be gained by it. His Honor: I would like to have a report, not merely as to whether he is insane, but as to whether he is of weak intellect and whether the association with older men in gaol will influence him to lead a life of crime. The defendant was remanded for sentence pending an examination by the Government Medical Officer. During the proceedings in the after noon, Mr. Ross interposed Dr. H. J. Taylor. Government Medical Officer, who had examined the prisoner, Faithfull. after the Court adjourned for lunch. Dr. Taylor, in reply to His Honor, said he had examined Faithfull and found he was of weak intellect, but he could not sign him up as an insane person. He would not advise sending him to Stewart's Creek gaol among a lot of criminals, because a youth of his mental weakness would be easily influenced by older men. In passing sentence His Honor in formed the prisoner he had pleaded guilty to arson, which was one of the most serious crimes that could be committed and for which he was liable to imprisonment for life. He was only a youth of eighteen and Dr. Taylor considered him to be of weak intellect. He thought it inadvisable to send him to gaol, he was certain of it, but the prisoner must not run away with the idea that he could do as he liked. He was going to give him a chance. He was going to impose a sentence that, for the prisoner's age, was a severe one, but he would not send him to goal as he had said before. He would suspend the sentence, but the defendant would have to report to the police from time to time and tell them where he lived and where he worked, he would have a sentence hanging over his life. The prisoner was only eighteen now. In three years time he would have more sense to restrain himself, and the sentence would be three years hard labour, the sentence to be suspended under Section 856 of the Code, on the defendant entering into his own recognisance to be of good behaviour for three years.

Medical Notes: strange to have a funeral notice on the same day as well. Jenny and I remember Mum telling us that Ferdy fell off his bike and hit his head on the gutter. He was a lunatic and would play up every full moon. He was kicked in the head by a horse when he was young. I have often been suspicious of the stories mum related. Nana never said anything about it. I suspect he may have suicided after GGfathers death 4 days before. Another reason for my suspicion is that another man was buried on the same day. He had been knocked off his bike by a truck. See TDB 6/1/44. Also mum was on holidays in Brisbane when he died and she came home by train but got stuck at the Burdekin Bridge as it was in flood.
