ATTEMPT TO MURDER.
Albert John Palmer, of Waimea. West, was charged with attempting toi murder his father, John Palmer. His Worship : The Palmer family again ! The Inspector of Police said that he was not prepared to go on with the case just then, and must ask for a remand for eight days. Mr Acton Adams, who appeared for the defendant, asked either that bail might be allowed or the remand made for a shorter period. His Worship thought the request was reasonable. The family was a perpetual nuisance to the magistrates and to every one else, and the whole circumstances connected with them were most deplorable. It was scarcely fair to keep so grave a charge impend* ing over the defendant for a long time, and he should therefore remand hira until Friday, but seeing the gravity of tbe charge he should require heavy bail, namely, the defendant in £000, and two sureties in £250 each. Messrs T Harley and li. V. Phillips were accepted as sureties, and defendant was remanded until Friday. ~ ■ «■ " ■'.'■ ■!■_■■ L. - " ■ ...J' LLX-
