MALICIOUSLY INJURING PROPERTY.
John O'Driscoll. pleaded guilty to, on July 4, maliciously injuring one set of scales, the property of Albert Henry Comley. The Crown Prosecutor said that in all fairness to the accused he had to announce that he had offered to make compensation for the damage he had done. It appeared that in a drunken freak the accused had swept the scales off the counter, and-caused serious damage, to them.
His Honor said if accused compensated the owner of the scales for the damage done during a drunken freak, and gave him an undertaking to leave off drinking, he would not send accused to gaol. He would postpone sentence until 2 o'clock to allow of accused finding a certain sum of money to pay down to the owner of the scales, and undertaking to pay certain instalments on certain dates.
