The two were committed to stand trial by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan yesterday after she found that there was sufficient evidence for both men to stand trial at the High Court at the conclusion of a preliminary inquiry into the charge against them. 

Both had previously been released on $500,000 bail, each and will remain on bail until the start of the trial.  Grimmond is the owner of Mark Interior Communications Incorpo-rated, which is located at 75 Church Street, Georgetown and also operates Rockies Hotel on Light Street.
