INDECENT ASSAULT.
John Armstrong was charged with indecently assaulting Amelia Winfield, a married woman, at the Hundred of Gregory, on November 6. Prisoner was undefended, and did not cross examine any of the witnesses, who clearly proved the offence. On being arrested he said, " Well, such things happen sometimes." He offered no defence whatever, and did not even address the Jury. A verdict of guilty was returned. His Honor, in passing sentence, said he regretted the law did not allow him to pass a heavier sentence and order it to be accompanied by the infliction of the lash. As the law stood, he was unable to pronounce a longer sentence than he was about to pass, and certainly he should not be a party to abridging it by one hour. The sentence of the Court would be two years' imprisonment with hard labour. Sentenced accordingly.
