A CHARGE OF ROBBERY.
[BY TELEGRAM. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Dunedin, Thursday. At the Police Court, Gerald E. Hodgson was chargod with stealing £7 on the 14th of January at Wellington, the property of Ada Cahill. Detective Henderson said he had arrested the accused upon receiving a telegram stating that a warrant had been issued in Wellington. He asked for a remand until the information arrived. His Worship said he could grant no remand unless the information was before him. No arrest was legal unless the officer executing it held the warrant, not simply a telegram stating that it had peen issued. Hodgson was brought before the Court later, in the day on an information by Detective Henderson, who applied for a remand to Wollington. Accused said that the case was a trumped up one, brought by an immoral woman in a moment of jealous temper. Detective Henderson said they were advised that it was a mean robbery, and desertion of an unfortunate woman and illegitimate child. Tho case was remanded until to-morrow, to enable the accused to telegraph to Wellington to see if it could bo withdrawn in time to enable him to proceed to Melbourne by tho Mararoa.
