assaulted a former Warwick Secondary School teacher.

The students, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared in Juvenile Court with their parents.

They were originally found not guilty of together unlawfully assaulting Victor Coggin and thereby doing him bodily harm on March.

But late last year Puisne Judge Richard Ground ruled that Mrs. Mapp's ruling should be set aside on the grounds of a "wrong decision in law''.

And he sent the case back to Mrs. Mapp with an order that she convict the 15 and 13 year olds of common assault and sentence them.

Mrs. Mapp postponed sentencing last November, pending social inquiry reports on both boys.

But when they appeared yesterday, Mrs. Mapp extended the teenagers' bail and explained that she had to adjourn the matter because one of the members of her Juvenile Court panel was involved in an inquest and she did not know when the case will end.

The inquest was believed to have been the Michael Burgess inquest in Magistrates' Court which ended yesterday afternoon.
