Motorist Found Not Guilty In Grievous Harm Case

A Brisbane jury acquitted William Edward Fox of 123 Moreton Street New Farm of grievous bodily harm to Mary Catherine Maloney after she was struck by his motor car near Stanley and Takerman streets on July 4 1937. The trial heard no evidence from the defence and the judge noted no duty to stop when a tram slowed. Fox testified driving at about 65 mph with lights on as Maloney crossed toward the tram, but witnesses disputed the timing of the tram and Maloney’s actions. The judge discharged Fox and the jury returned a not guilty verdict.
