Sidney Doddridge, of Ilsington, 14 years old, was charged at Ashburton a few days since, before Mr. H. Steele (chairman) and Mr. P. F. S. Amery, under the Criminal Law Amendment Act, with an attempted offence on Ada Pinsent, 11 years old. Mr. J. Hutchings, solicitor, Newton Abbot, defended Doddridge, who after a hearing which lasted over three hours, was committed for trial at the ensuing Assizes and admitted to bail, himself, in £25 and two sureties of £30.
