They pleaded guilty. Counsel tor the accused said both had partaken unwisely of "home-brew," got into a state of "maudlin idiocy," and frightened the Chinese and his wife, who lived on property owned by Churches' father.
Detective-Sergeant Kelly said that the Chinese had gone for another countryman with a gun, and during his absence the "two accused pulled his wife round on a bed. It was not a serious offence. Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., fined each of the accused £3, in default 14 days' imprisonment, allowing them 24 hours in which to pay. Churches was also ordered to take out a prohibition order. An application for the suppression of names was refused.
