The court was told that the accused was recently fined for committing similar offences against the same plaintiff.

Washington was not required to plead to the indictable charge.
The accused, who is a carpenter, was unrepresented. He gave his address to the court as lot 18 Church Street, Stanleytown, West Bank Demerara.
Fortunately for him, Pindar did not object to bail, hence he was allowed his pre-trial liberty in the sum of $200,000. The matter was made returnable for February 28.
