The Magistrate told the defendant that he could count himself lucky that the complainant did not want to press the charge or he would have been sent to jail. As it was, he would be bound over in the sum of $100 to keep the pace for 12 months, and it he dared to touch the complainant again during the year, he would be brought up again and sentenced to a long term of imprisonment.
