Thursday, 6 August 2015 00:00

Psychiatric reports are being compiled in the case against a man accused of an offence against the Island's High Bailiff.

21-year-old Christopher Lunt appeared at Douglas Courthouse earlier this week.

The Castletown man has been charged with causing John Needham to believe he was at risk of immediate unlawful violence at the courts on May 30th.

He's also charged with common assault on a female from the same day.

The case has now been adjourned until August 27th when Lunt will appear before acting Deputy High Bailiff Deemster Gough.
