BOY’S ALLEGATION

    Leslie Patrick Carroll, [35], at the Parramatta Quarter Sessions on Tuesday, was charged with having indecently assaulted a boy, [Roy Nicholls ], at Bargo on October 4.

    He pleaded not guilty, and conducted his own defence.

    Without leaving the box, the jury found the accused not guilty.

    On a further charge, [on Frederick James Lawler —aka Frederick James Lawless ], of similar nature, Carroll was remanded to appear at the next Sessions.
…

JUDGE’S REBUKE
———●———

    An outburst of laughter among the “audience” at the Parramatta Quarter Sessions on Tuesday was sternly rebuked by Judge Thomson.

    “This is not a place of amusement,” his Honor said. “If I hear any more of it, I’ll have the Court cleared.”
…

JUDGE AND HARD TIMES
———●———

    “If I condone people’s offences because of hard times, I’m going to make everyone a criminal.”—Judge Thomson, at the Parramatta Quarter Sessions on Monday.
…

JURYMAN FINED
———◦———

    There was no response when Hugh Luxton Milne, a juryman, was called at the Parramatta Quarter Sessions on Monday. He was fined £2.

    On Tuesday, Milne explained to Judge Thomson that he had been at Cronulla the day before, and that his car had broken down.

    His Honor: You could have come by some other means. That’s no excuse at all. I won’t remit the fine.
