No Reduction of Bail Mr. Mackinley. 011 behalf of Randall, stated he was instructed, to apply for reduction in the ball of $7,000, of which $5,000 was in cash and $2,000 in band. He thought the ball was somewhat excessive, when one considered what had been dis- closed in the evidence, and that $5,000 cash bait would be ample in the cir cumstances. He suggested elimina- tion of the band.

The Magistrate: I cannot see that that is reasonable suggestion.

Mr. Macktalny: Will your Wor- ship reduce the cash ball thon?

Mr. Williams: There is objection to that, your Worship.

His Worship refused the application and fixed ball as before.

Mr. Brown explained that thei Chinese defendants had been In prison since March 31, as they had been unable to find the ball asked for by the prosecution. Li Yick and Leung Yau could raise $1,000 each, but not $1,500.

The Assistant Attorney General opposed any reduction in ball in the case of Li Yick and Leung You, but he did not mind roduction for the remainder of the defendants and sug gested ball of $250 each.

Mr. Brown: Li Yick and Loung You might be able to raise $1,000, which is substantial bail Kar, this type of people.
