Jury Contempt Debate at Colac Court Over Conscription Bias
In Colac Court of General Sessions Judge Moule presided as Francis Joseph Mason faced trial for perjury. Defence counsel Mr L Cowen argued jurors biased by conscription opinions should be challengeable, while Mr Cussen pressed for independent assessment. The Chief Justice and Mr Justice La Retest weighed whether jurors could be challenged for cause without proof of bias. The jury was eventually empanelled, with remarks on political views not constituting disqualification. A public meeting and further notices followed in Colac regarding appeals and local civic affairs.
