BUSH LOVERS.
JUDGE RELEASES MAN. MARRIAGE WITH GIRL. ROCKHAMPTON, Nov 24. JWhen George Riley eloped with a 15-year-old girl from Mount Morgan, they had six days of romance in the bush before they were caught. Riley was arrested, and the jury found him guilty of abduction. Judge Brennan discharged him on recognisance at the Supreme Court this morning, when defendant stated that he was willing to marry the girl, who was also keenly desirous of marriage. The girl sobbed piteously, but she was almost frantic with joy when defendant was allowed his liberty, and when they left the court she was most demonstrative in her affection.
