! Sergeant Parry-We are really unprepared now 10

| The learned Judge-I think they must first hear
1 the indictment read, and We can hear any appllca-

read over TO the prisoners to all OF when, with the

hestat ngly pleaded not guilty. On tne count rs %
msdemeanor there was signt hesitation, but, after
look towards their counsel, they also pleaded not

The Attorney Gencral-They should all be post

and the prosecution wish them TO be postponed IL
will only be reasonable TO do so.
| The Attorney General-I think ought to say that,
after reading the dispositions very carefully, and
after also considering additional evidence which has
that indictments were preferred against other per-
sons. think 1t would be hard for those persons 10
