EXTRADITION CASE.

At the Police Court on Saturday morning, before Dr. Giles, R.M., Henry Davis was charged with the larceny us a bailee of one diamond ring of the value of £12, the property of Joseph Davis, of Sydney. Inspector Brohatn stated that accused was a passenger from Sydney by the mail steamer Monowai, and had booked through to America, but was arrested on Friday evening on a cablegram which had been received from tho Sydney police. Mr. S. Hesketh, who appeared on behalf of the accused, objected to his being detained on tho receipt of a mere telegram, which might perhaps bo a bogus one. Dr. Giles said that they would have to take the risk of that. Mr. Hesketh then applied for a remand till half-past one, as he wished to communicate with the Australian police. He thought the result of his negotiations Would be that Inspector Broham would receive a telegram from the Sydney police asking them to release the accused. Dr. Giles said there could be no objection to a remand, and fixed bail to the accused himself in £500 and two sureties in i'otl each. When the reply to the cablegram was received in the afternoon Dr. Giles did not consider it of such a nature as to warrant the accused's release, and ho was, therefore, remanded for a week.
