The accused admitted the second charge, and the first was withdrawn. Sentence was deferred till Saturday. Robert Russell denied a charge that on September 20 last he broke and entered the dwelling of Albert Clemas. The jury found a verdict of guilty, but expressed the opinion that if the prisoner had not been intoxicated the incident would not have happened. Russell was admitted to probation for six months and was ordered to pay £2O towards the cost of the prosecution.
