THE REDFERN HOLD-UP. \ TWO MEN REMANDED. (United Press Association.) . (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) SYDNEY, August 6. (Received August 6, at 5.5 p.m.) William Wilton and William Nelson were, remanded on charges of robbery under arms in connection with the Redfern' robbery last night. Nelson was also charged with having fired a revolver with intent to murder. Two masked robbers, who secreted themselves in Michael Brigg’s butcher shop at Redfera on Monday night, bound arid gagged Briggs, and covered him with a revolver. They commenced to hunt for cash, and discovered a bottle of whisky, which they impudently, consumed. A woman heard the men’s threat to Briggs, and telephoned the police, who dashed to the scene in a car, and arrested the bandits, but not before a shot was fired by one at the woman who gave the alarm. >
