Kilgour J.P., at the Magistrate’s Court yesterday, and was charged with indecently assaulting a female, on November sth. Sergeant J. Smyth, in asking for a' remand until Monday, stated that the police would then be prepared to go on with the case. Meanwhile, he opposed bail, as the circumstances were rather strong against the accused.
