POLICE COURT.
o ' THIS DAY. [Before A. Levy, Esq., J.P.J THE STILL CASES. I A. H. Malcolm was charged with supplying the means of establishing an illicit still . A remand for a weak was ] asked for by the Collector of Customs. • After some argument between the defendant's solicitor, Mr Esam, and the , Collector of Customs it was decided to j allow bail of £200 and sureties of £100 , each. Richard Peck and J. Jessop were charged with being m • possession of a i unlicensed still. I Mr Hawkins appeared for defendants and objected to a remand being granted ', on the fresh information laid that day. He contended that they were there to i answer a charge on a former information, ; and asked that the case might be dismissed, and then thoy could do what they liked with regard to a fresh information. It appeared to him that there was some carelessness m not having the ■ charge m the Court upon which the defendants had been arrested. Hecon* sidered it was a very unusual course to adopt to ask for a remand on a fresh information before the previous one had been disposed of. The Court considered that there had been some neglect m the matter but consented to the remand asked for with sureties to the same amount as previously, but fresh bondsmen would be required . The Court then adjourned.
