Squizzy Taylor in Criminal Court over harbouring Angus Murray
The court crowded as Squizzy Taylor faced a fresh charge of harbouring Angus Murray. He pleaded not guilty and evidence mirrored the first trial when jurors disagreed. Earlier, Melbourne fogs delayed rail traffic and a VRC steward Hobson died suddenly. The House debated excluding Germans from Australia, with Prime Minister Bruce noting a five year restriction was once needed. Seaplane trip to Israelite Bay was proposed. Melbourne markets quoted wheat, oats, barley, potatoes, onions and other goods.
