an Act of Charles II. to admit the prisoner to bail.—For the prosecution, Mr. C.F. Gill did not offer any serious objection to the question of bail, but
simply begged the learned Judge to carefully read through the depositions and bear in mind the nature of the case.—Baron Pollock said one thing he wanted
to know was the amount of bail which Mr. Mathew proposed to offer.—Two sureties of £1,000 each, was the answer of the counsel.—After further argument,
