BONDSMAN SEEKS RELEASE FROM BOND
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, July 26. An unusual application by a bondsman for release from his bond was made in the Magistrates’ Court when Stanley Robert Phillips and Henry Walton Phillips appeared on remand upon a charge of breaking and entering and theft at Naseby on Juue 13. The bondsman was Albert James Dryden, who said that he suspected that accused were about to abscond. Counsel said he had entered in a recognisance for the appearance of accused at the Supreme Court on July 25 on other charges than the present one. Notwithstanding the fact of aceuseil being now under arrest and in custody, the bondsman still remained liable to produce them and if a prison break occurred the bondsman would still be liable. A further ground was that since the bond was entered upon, fresh charges had been preferred. The magistrate, Mr. Bundle, said the Court's jurisdiction was limited. He could not see how it could be said that because a man was in custody, he was about to abscond. The application was dismissed. Accused were remanded on the fresh charges till July 4.
