WILLIAM DOOLING. ANN DOOLING.
The Australasian Sat 7 Oct 1877
City Court
A labouring man, named William Dooling, was brought the City Bench on Wednesday, on the charge of wilfully and maliciously damaging property belonging to William and Kate Dooling, his son and daughter. The complainants gave evidence to the effect that the prisoner had been in the habit of ill-treating and starving their mother, whom they therefore kept and supported in a house they bad rented in Rathdowne-street, Carlton. Occasionally, the prisoner came and endeavoured to take their mother away, and when prevented from doing so, he generally created a disturbance. Last Tuesday night he went to the house in the son's absence, and on receiving an emphatic refusal to go with him from his wife, he deliberately emptied a phial of sulphuric add upon a book belonging to his daughter, and upon £10 worth of clothing, property of his son.
The Bench ordered him to find one surety in £10 to keep the peace for six months..
