Mr Hamevsley appeared for the accused. Inspector Broham, on the case being called, asked for a remand to G-eraldine, as be was not prepared to go on with the case. Mr Hamersley did not oppose the remand, but asked for bail to be fixed. Inspector Broham opposed the granting of bail. Mr Hamersley said then some evidence must be given. It was laid down in the "Justice of the Pence" that some evidence should be given before a remand was asked for. He would waive that so far as the remand w;\s concerned, but if bail was to be refused, he must ask that some evidence be given. His Worship : Has any of the property been recovered ?
