MR S.J. ODGERS, SC:    Your Honours, I appear for the applicant with my learned friend, MR J.S. STRATTON.  (instructed by D.J. Humphreys, Legal Aid Commission of New South Wales)

MR R.D. ELLIS:   I appear for the respondent Crown.  (instructed by S.E. O’Connor, Solicitor for Public Prosecutions (New South Wales)).

GAUDRON J:   You are seeking an adjournment.

MR ODGERS:   Yes, your Honour.

GAUDRON J:   And it is not actually opposed, even though it is not consented to.

MR ELLIS:   That is probably a fair summary.  It is a matter for the Court.

GAUDRON J:   It is sufficient that the matter stand out of the list to be restored on seven days notice?

MR ODGERS:   Yes, your Honour.

GAUDRON J:   Well, we will make that order, accordingly.  Thank you.  The Court will now adjourn until 2 o’clock.
