Taylor) for the prisoner. Mr. Pinsent applied for a remand until next week. The prosecution had been commenced by order of the Treasury, and the prisoner was charged with offences under the Debtors Act committed immediately prior to filing his petition for liquidation on the 11th of July last. Mr. Nathan said it was only reasonable that the remand should be granted. He wished the remand to be granted till someday next week, on the understanding that a fresh remand till the following week would then be given, so that the learned Stipendiary or Mr. Hill might be present. The magistrates granted a remand until Tuesday next, when a further remand for a week will be made. Mr. Nathan applied for bail. Mr. Pinsent hoped that bail for a substantial sum would be required. The prisoner’s debts amounted to £11,701. 6s. 2d and his assets were £4,670. 18s. 5d, so that there was a deficiency of £7,000: Of that deficiency, there was £2,500 entirely unaccounted for. Mr. Nathan said the prisoner did not admit that the deficiency unaccounted for was anything like £2,500, but he did not object to substantial bail; the man “had not a feather to fly with,” but his friends would help him. Bench fixed the bail at £500 for the prisoner, and two sureties of £250 each.
