Jasper Calder that Richard Stanley Sinclair. who appeared for sentence on a charge of indecent assault on a male, should be granted probation In appearing for prisoner. Mr. Xoble said that some years ago Sinclair had met with a bad accident and since then he had been mentally weak. “We have quite a number of similar cases under our care,” said the Rev. Jasper Calder, “and I would ask that this man be granted probation. “Under the circumstances I will grant probation for a period of three years, prisoner to pay the costs of the prosecution,” said his Honour.
