One of them, Robert BOYLE had two charges against him - of stealing a cap, the property of Frederick Arthur POTTS, and of stealing a hat, the property of Albert LOCKIE. He pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to three months' hard labor on the first charge and six months' hard labor on the second. As the sentences were cumulative he will serve nine months for his thefts.....Two previous convictions for larceny were put in against accused. The other prisoner, who was charged with stealing an overcoat at the same time and place, and against whom there was registered a conviction for forgery, pleaded not guilty. After hearing the evidence, his Worship committed accused for trial.
