A LENIENT VIEW
In view of the prisoner's previous good character and of the jury's verdict the Chief Justice (Sir Michael Myers), in the Supreme Court' today told George Milner that he thought he was justified in regarding his offence as an isolated and sudden lapse which might not occur again. Milner, for whom Mr. A. S. Mazengarb appeared, was charged with, indecent assault on a male. The jury found him guilty of attempted indecent assault. His Honour said that the jury had taken a lenient view of the case, and he thought, in all the circumstances, perhaps justifiably so. He advised Milner to be careful to see that nothing of the kind occurred again. '..'•';. Milner was ordered to come. up for sentence if called' upon within two years, and to pay the costs of the prosecution, £16 15s, within three months.
