The following extract is from "History of Methodism in Ireland, Volume 1, Wesley and his time" by C H Crookshank, M.A. 1885

Page 460

Chapter XL - "1789"

At Lisburn the evangelist preached in what he calls the new chapel, but in reality was the old one which had been enlarged and improved through the liberality of Mr. Johnson. It is described by Wesley as the largest and best furnished preaching-house in the north of Ireland. Amongst those present at the service was Mr. Thomas Collier(*) Who was then to give his heart to God. He afterwards settled in Ballynacoy, where his house became a centre of religious light in what was then a very dark and benighted district of country.

(*) grandfather of the Rev S James and Robert Collier

Erskine vs Crawford

The following is an extract from The Lisburn herald, Saturday March 2nd, 1929

"No Jurisdiction"

Mary Erskine, Ballynacoy, summoned William Crawford, Ballypitmave, for, as alleged, allowing his greyhounds to kill 8 head of fowl, her property, value £2.

Mr. Joseph Lockhart, solicitor, appeared for the complainant; and Dr. H.A. Maginness, solicitor, for the defence.

Dr. Maginness raised the point that the Court had no jurisdiction, and the Chairman concurred, remarking that it was a case for another court.

Mr. Lockhart agreed, and said he had been trying to impress that on his client.

The case was accordingly ruled "no jurisdiction," and no order made in regard to costs.
