Sheep Stealing Charge Fails in Shepparton Court
William Maidment of Cobram faced a sheep theft case at the Shepparton Court of General Sessions. The jury was urged to consider the lack of corroborating evidence and returned a not guilty verdict after the judge halted further testimony. Witnesses stated 499 ewes and lambs were counted in Cobram, and disputes over fence lines and ownership emerged during the trial.
