Stay in Stealing Case Sparks Coffs Harbour Trial

Norris pleads not guilty to a 1952 theft of copper wire and insulators valued at £7 15s from the Commonwealth. Investigating officers led by Jack Vickor Lindsay, senior PMG, testified at North Bonville property about a private telephone line linked to Mr J E Burgess. Burgess stated he paid £10 for line work. Norris denied and claimed no payment, claiming he only recalled a lunch hour digging scene.
