She was. believed to be quite out of danger now. Mr Cassidy raised no objection to the remand, whioh Mr Bishop, S.M., granted. Mr Cassidy then applied for bail, and asked that it should be made as small as possible, or else the accused would have great difficulty in finding it. It was -very difficult to prepare the defence when the accused could only be seen at Lyttelton. The Magistrate said he did mot wish) to make the bail prohibitive, but the charge was such a serious one that it must be substantial. In such a case he could not take into consideration the circumstances of the accused Bail would be allowed in Brewer's own surety of £IOO, and two sureties of. £IOO each.

Nellie Maud Brewer, for whom Mr Joynt appeared, was then charged with the same offence.
