Mr. Hadley applied that bis client, L. Agassiz should be released on bail. He was the Hon. Mr. E. H. Sharp managing partner in a printing business. G. Alabaster which was worth $100,000. T

Detective-Sergeant Givens opposed bail, first of all on general principles and secondly because the accused might run Away.

Mr. Hadley replied that it was b possible for the police to prove the charge which they had laid against his client. The latter knew that the warrant was out against him and could have absconded it he had wanted to, and it was not likely that he would run away now, He sug gested that the man might be released on $1,600,

Detective-Sergeant Givens said the police hoped to prove that the accused ordered the false chops to be made.

The Assessor-Were the passports printed in the accused's place?
