A MAN who broke his partner's nose open to try and stop her from carrying on drinking has been ordered to do 80 hours of unpaid work.
James Hamilton, 33, of Ash Grove, Ulverston, and his partner, who suffers from an alcohol addiction, had an argument after a night of drinking.
The victim asked for the charges to be dropped but Hamilton was still slapped with a community order and made to pay court costs of £170.
