LAW OF CONSPIRACY
MAN MUST BE ACQUITTED Press Association. WELLINGTON, To-day. Before the Appeal Court this morning Mr. A. Fair, K.C., SolicitorGeneral, announced that he had considered the Auckland case of Barker and Wood and the conviction against John Ormiston Wood on the first count should be quashed. Parker and Wood were charged with conspiring to defraud, the former being acquitted, and the latter convicted. Mr. Fair said that it was a principle of law that, however clear the case might be against one conspirator, both must be acquitted if one was. The court agreed, and quashed Wood s conviction on the first count.
