THE SUGAR TRUST.
THE CASE FOR THE CROWN. Per Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. Tn the Appeal Court, In dealing with the conviction under section 5, the conspiracy clause, Sir J. Findlay said that; if it was a conspiracy to monopolise by illegal means such a conspiracy was contrary to the public interest. The conspiracy might be, for example, to carry out its object by means of a series or system of breaches of section 3. He contended that to establish a conviction under section 3 no proof of conspiracy or agreement was necessary, but under section sthe additional element of conspiracy was essential, and that, therefore, the convictions were not upon the same facts. Similarly, a person or firm might abet an offence under sections 3 without being a member of the conspiracy and within the penal provisions of section 3 the additional element of conthe conspiracy was undoubtedly contrary to the public interests, apart from might abet an offence under section 3 He had not concluded his address when the Court adjourned till to-morrow.
