The three persons, of whose names notice had been
given yesterday as bail for Mr. Ernest Jones, attended
before Mr. Henry immediately on the conclusion of the
above case.
The first, Mr. John Sewell, was not objected to on the
part of the prosecution.
The second, a Mr. Bloomfield, a builder in the Mile-
end road, returned very unsatisfactory answers to the
questions put to him by Mr. Hayward. He had paid
no rent for six months, and neither income nor assessed
taxes for twelve months, as far as he knew. They
might have been paid without his knowledge. Ile did
not bring his receipts, because he did not receive notice
to do so. lie swore that.
Sergeant Kemble, of the detective force, proved that he
gave Mr. Bloomfield notice.—Bail rejected.
The third person was then brought forward. His
name was Munal. He said he had leasehold property
on which he could raise 250/, but admitted that it was
only by the sale of those leases he could meet two bills,
now nearly due, for 100/. each.
Mr. HENRY rejected this bail also, and observed that
one bail could not be admitted singly, and therefore Mr.
Sewell was also rejecter'.
