SYDNEY, March 29. There was a peculiar feature of Jacob Johnson's claim against the Federal Government. The jury came into Court with a verdict for defendants, but the Judge pointed out that Johnson's arrest was admittedly ill'egal and the jury's task was simply to determine the amount of daibages to which plaintiff was entitled. Counsel for plaintiff asked that this verdict be recorded, but the Judge declined. The jury after a second retiremeni, assessed Johnson's damages at £20.
