The hearing was told that both men turned up at the victim's home, King being known to him but Jolley a stranger, and that was where he was attacked and his property taken.
Jolley was given a two-year custodial sentence and was made the subject of a 10-year restraining order preventing contact with the victim.
King was jailed for 18 months, one month of which was an activated suspended sentence imposed for a previous offence.
