There were no previous con- victions against him. He had been in the Army for four years and had seen considerable service in France. The present charge against him was the outcome of a foolish escapade. He Thomas) was confident that there was no felonious intent because he was wearing the overcoat in the street. The Stipendiary said he hoped the young nun would realise that what he had done was a very foolish and tricked thing. However, having regard to his youth, his service in the Army, and the good character he had hitherto borne, the magistrates had decided to bind him over. He would have to pay 40s. towards the cost.
