APPLICATION FOR BAIL
Mr. K. E. Newman (Counsel for de feace): Your Honour, I make my formal application for bail. It is perfectly true that the defendant reserves his defence, There is no need for me to explain the Fasons to your Honour, but the fact that the defence is reserved is no reason why you should refuse to grant bail: also baving regard to the circumstances, the defendant's position, and the fact that 打怪 bas already heen on bail, and your Honour cannot try. this case yourself.

Sadhara Singh.
His Honour I remember the case, and I have already stated, earlier in the pro- ceedings, that always incline to ball where possible, What have you to say, Mr. Macleod !
Mr. Macleod: All the circumstances are before your Honour, It seems to me that on the evidence which has been given and the framing of two soch charges, in the absence of any explanation at all by the censed, and the gravity of the charges, I cannot urge anything more of a special¦
nature.
His Honour: Would it hamper the prosecution in the Upper Court if I grant hal, or is there any reason to believe. bat the defendant will not appear when he is called There is no special ground, your Honour.
His Honour The charges involve sentence in the first instance of 4 years' imprisonment, and in the second life im- prisonment. I feel, however, disposed to grant hail after looking at all the cir- cumstances. Before, there was a special reason for refusing hail at the time of Sentwell's arrest, but that does not seem to exist now. I realize the gravity of the charge, but I am reluctant to refuse This is a case wherein I have dis- eretionary powers, and I propose to allow the acensed the same hail as before- two sureties of $5,000 each from respon- sible British subjects, and one in his own name of a like amount.
