strain and excitement of an Investigation Of
the case at this time-nu investigation which,
from It's nature, was obliged to consume
much, time, and much might have to be re-
peated at an early day Ia the Hastings Court.

waive an examination before this tribunal.
At the same time they moved the Court to
grant bail to the accused until the matter Of

Mr.. CabelI, Commemorative attorney,
said that all the considerations he could urge
against admitting Colonel Mayo to bail had
been urged heretofore. he believed, in view
Of the condition of accused, that he had then
been mistaken in opposing bal, and he would
now unite in support of the motion for bail
made by Major Page He would say, how
ever, that be desired Colonel Mayo to be
sent on for larceny under the new statute
not for embezzlement under the old form. !.
Major Page objected to his client being
sent on for any other than the offence as
specifically charged in the ch-Warrant,
which be was present to answer.
Er. Cabell said the Police Justice could
send him on for embezZlement, and ne would
indict him for larceny. as the law allowed.
Accordingly, Colonel Mayo was sent on
for Indictment by the grand jury OF the
Hastings Court, on Monday, on the charge
of embezzling $4,000 of the States funds:
