The trial was reported in the Hampshire Telegraph in July-August 1900. It was adjourned for sentencing, but there is no report of the sentence in that newspaper. Another local paper might have further coverage, perhaps at your local studies library (http://www.southampton.gov.uk/libraries/family-history/localstudies.asp#0)?

The Portsmouth prison registers should also give that information, but I don't see any at the National Archives for the right date. Maybe someone else knows where they are?
