COAL VEND CASE
REMARKS BY CHIEF JUSTICE! i (Received Last Night 9.10 o'clock.) j SYDNEY, September 20. The Higli Court upheld the Shipping Company's appeal in the Coal Vent case, thus upsetting the conviction by Mr Justice Isaacs. Altogether there were sixteen grounds of appeal, the chief being that upon the whole evidence the appell-' ants were entitled to judgment on all matters alleged against them; that the judgment of Justice Isaacs was erroneous, both as regards conclusions of fact and law applicable to those facts, and that the evidence was wrongly admitted. The Chief Justice concluded a lengthy judgment by stating that the Court was bound to decide the case on the evidence. Upon that evidence they were of the opinion that the Crown failed to prove intent on the part of appellants to cause detriment to the public. They also held the opinion that the Crown faile<!" to orove any actual detriment to the public.
