Mr Wotton asked that the case should be adjourned for a week. He said he might meation in connection with the eses that robberia in the Hotel bad been frequent and soriuos of late, and a large amount of property had been taken from places lose to the hotel also. It was very difficult, of course, where the victims of these rebbaries were people merely passing farough the colony, to trace the criminals in time for evidence to be forthcoming to show the persons who would otherwise have been convicted got off in consequence of this. He mentioned these facts in order that his Worship, if he adjourned the case for the return of the owner of the watch in quas- tion, should impose a heavy bail, as it was most desirable that this man should be forthcoming on the next occasion. He therefore asked that the bail be increased. Mr Caldwell had no objection to the ad. journment, but he thought the bail pravi.
Mr Wotton said when he asked for the incream of the bail it was not so much on account of the value of the articles before the Court as it was for the fact that they pointed to ather robberies that had heeu corumitted, which ought to open hit Wor- ship's mind to the fact that of this unan had committed this robbery, in all probability thore were others that would be laid al bis don
