The trial of a former priest accused of assaulting eight boys while teaching at Fort Augustus Abbey School in the Highlands has been adjourned until May.
Father Benedict Seed, 83, denies the charges, which include striking pupils aged between 11 and 18 with a cane and a spiked golf shoe in the 70s and 80s.
He is also charged with pulling a boy from his bed and hitting him on the body with a hockey stick.
He denies all the charges and will face trial in Inverness in May.
