High Court to rule on 'high priest's bail application later this week

The High Court will later this week rule on an application for bail brought by a Co Meath-based "High Priest" of a church pending the outcome of his Supreme Court appeal against an order for his extradition on charges of attempting to pervert the course of justice in the UK.

Earlier this month the High Court made an order for the extradition of Sheffield born Anthony John Hill (aged 60) Carrick Street, Kells, on charges that he sent a controversial DVD to a judge and jury foreman during a trial relating to bomb attacks in London.
