THE COAL VEND CASE
i A LONG JUDGMENT. By Cable—Press Association —Copyright. Received 20. 10.20 p.m. Sydney. December 20. Judge Isaacs, in the High Court, commenced delivery of judgment in the coal vend case. It is expected to occupy two days. Shortly stated, the case amounted to allegations against the Associated Northern Colliery proprietors and certain steamship owners of entering into a contract to restrain inter-State trade in Maitland and Newcastle coal, in contravention of the Industries Preservation Act, to the detriment of the public. The defence was a general denial of the charges. In the course of his remarks Judge Isaacs said the whole course of conduct of both sets of defendants indubitably established that from the latter part of 1906 they were working together on some agreement. The evidence disclosed allegations as to the combination. Its continuance down to the commencement of the action was proved. Other important issues are still to be dealt with.
