Jam fraud case ends in acquittal for defendant Knight
Vincent E Knight was acquitted after a defense contending the evidence failed to prove possession of raspberry jam intended to be stolen. The trial heard that mislaid deliveries and dubious testimony by co‑accused Forbes cast serious doubt on the Crown’s case. Jurors heard how jam shipments from Wright Heaton Co and Meagher’s Co were involved and how a second charge was dismissed with disposal of goods left undecided by the court.
