CLAIM AGAINST DETECTIVES
SHARK ARM CASE RECALLED ACTION BY MRS BRADY (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) SYDNEY. 16th March. As an aftermath to the arrest of Patrick Brady on 16th May, 1935, in connection with the death of -James Smith, in the shark arm case in which Brady was subsequently acquitted, Mrs Grace Mary Brady to-day brought an action in the Supreme Court against Detectives Frank Allmond and Frank Matthews, claiming £2OOO damages for trespass on a woman’s home, unlawful arrest and imprisonment. Mrs Brady’s counsel claimed that the whole enterprise was not to arrest the woman’s husband bona fide on a warrant but to get the wife away from her husband and keep her in custody through the night as it alleged was done. The case is partly heard.
