The 14-year-old was ordered to pay £2,500 in compensation and was referred to a Youth Offenders Panel.
The 15-year-old has been remanded on conditional bail for a further hearing on March 13.
It is unknown why his sentencing was delayed.
The pair cannot be named for legal reasons as they are both under the age of 18.
