At Wollohgong, Leslie Eldred Keene, aged 18, was sentenced to petial servitude for life, for having attempted to cause poison to be taken by Cecil L. Ulrich, at Berry, with intent to murder. It was stated in evidence that Ulrich tasted the porridge at breakfast, and after remarking that it had a bitter flavour, warned his family not to eat it.
