Lurton ordered a remand in the case of alleged attempted suicide, in which George B. Clayton is accused of shooting himself in Nanking Road on July 1. Major C. P. Holcomb, defending, asked for a remand in order to study the facts of the case. He also applied for Clayton's release on his own surety. The Commissioner replied that the defendant had already been released on his own recognizances, but had failed to appear when summoned. In those circumstances bail could only be allowed in the sum of $100 cash.
Proceepines in the domestic dispute, in which Mrs, J. Doylend is suing Mr. J. P. Doylend for the return of certain furniture, or its value, $4,120, were resumed before his Honour Judge Grain at H. M. Supreme Court on Monday. His Lordship informed the plaintiff that her solicitor, Mr. C. Mansel Reece (who was not in court) had given notice of discontinuance of the action. This plaintiff denied, saying that she had given him no such instructions. The position was that she lived in a different house to the one in which her husband resided. The furniture in defendant's house was her property. She attempted to remove some of it. Plaintiff_sent her little boy to the house. He rang her up to say that 'Daddy was not at home' and the doors were locked. Then she discovered that the property had been sold.

The goods had been bought and paid for by plaintiff. The hearing was adjourned unti] Thursday.
