Legal paradox of jury acquittal and judge order restitution

A Melbourne correspondent reports a General Sessions trial where a man was acquitted of stealing 45/10/-. Although the jury found him not guilty, the judge believed the memory had been stolen and ordered restitution to the person. The Crimes Act allows restitution when the property related to the offense has been stolen or converted, despite an acquittal. This may be the oldest instance of the Criminal Code permitting a judge to override a jury verdict in favor of a restitution order.
