CONTINUED The continued case of Oliver III.
Rand, charged with being concerned in the Ports
mouth bank robbery, by Mr.. Marx, cashier of the
Bank of Virginia, came up before the Mayor on yes
terday. Mr. R. G. Scott appeared in behalf Of the
prisoner; Joseph Mayo, Esq, acted for the COM
monwealth. Mr.. Scott, in behalf of Rand, an
nounced his readiness to proceed with the examina
ton, but the Mayor stated that the commoaw ca 18th
was not prepared go with the case that mo m
ing. There was highly important testimony which
he had every to believe could be obtained Il
time was afforded-eyidence which was not attain
able by the Mayors process. He would therefore,
ask postponemen: of the case for ten days.
Mr. Scott objected to the length of the pos one
ment The commonwealth had already had four
days-since Thursday-allowed them to pro cure
witnesses or testimony by telegraph
Mr. Mayo would answer that this warrant In
volved an offence not committed in this State. The
evidence connected with it, had to be obtained
from another State, and it necessary that tn e
commonwealth should have time afforded them to
procure it.
Mr. Scott said that he must insist upon the com
monwealth's laying the foundation by direct proof
of the offence which was to keep Rand i'll custody
He had been incarcerated and refused trial simply
on telegraph information. 1t was time that direct
proof against Rand was presented. He trusted
that the consideration of the would not be de-
layed 10 days, or lift was, that Rand would be adj
mitted to bail. He considered that the Mayor had
| perfect right to admit the prisoner to bail.
| MIR. Mayo earnestly opposed the granting of bail
| on an arrest warrant, ccntendlng that the com
mon law and the act OF Assembly was opposed to
such exercise of power by the Mayer.
| Mr.Scott asserted that in murder cases-in the
case of Davis charged with forgery, the Mayor had
admitted the accused to bail
The Mayor stated that in the case of Davis he had
acted wrongly.
Mr.. Mayo would have to press the postponement
| There was information of different character
from telegraphic, to be obtained The evidence
which certainly would criminate the accused, was
out of the State. There was evidence which would
trace the property stolen from tie bank, directly to
the hands oftheprisomer. After some further lega
SOARING between counsel, the Mayor adjourned
the case over until the 18th day of July. Rand wal
then remsnded to jail
