own relatives after a row over a $300 debt, a court heard yesterday.

Acting Magistrate the Wor. Ed Bailey was told that Greene called to the house of Mrs. Caurline Smith, on West Avenue, Southampton, when the house was full of family members.

He was talking to Mrs. Smith's son through a bathroom window about a debt and demanded payment for the money, the court was told.

The son stated he could not pay the money that night and claimed Greene said he would blow up the house.

Yesterday Greene, 18, of Till's Hill, Pembroke, pleaded guilty to unlawfully making and having in his possession a bottle containing a napkin and adapted for use as an unlawful object.

He also pleaded guilty to intent to cause damage to Mrs Smith's house by using a bottle containing a napkin and adapted for use in conjunction with an inflammable liquid.

Sentencing was adjourned for a social inquiry report and Mr. Bailey remanded Greene, who has a two-year-old child, in custoday.

Prosecuting, Inspector Peter Duffy said that last October the Smith family was at home and Mrs Smith's son was talking to Greene through a bathroom window.

"During the conversation Greene demanded payment, but the son said he was unable to pay the money that night and that Greene threatened to blow up the house,'' said Inspector Duffy.

"The son saw Greene move away and bend down and pick up an object. He left the bathroom and told his brother about the threat. Then they heard a loud bang outside.'' He said Greene was arrested by the Police last November and admitted making a molotov cocktail bomb, which caused only $177 damage.

In his own defence, Greene yesterday denied making any threat to blow up the house. "I did not intend to hurt anyone, they are my relatives, I was not thinking at the time,'' he said.
