[ Per Press Association.] HASTINGS, Feb. 28.
Appearing before Mr. J.

Asking for a remand, DetectiveSergeant Revell stated that the case had unusual features and promised to be of very great length. An adjournment to March 15 was agreed to by counsel for the accused who, while consenting, asked for bail. This was opposed by Detective-Ser-geant Revell and the application was heard in chambers, after which the magistrate declined to allow bail.
