Libel Case Continued Over Road Deviation Fallout
In a long trial the jury awarded the plaintiff four farthings damages with no costs. The judge noted the article could be defamatory but left damages to the jury, citing objections to the deviation near Bundook and disputes over road surveying and water access. Witnesses, including Reichert and McTague, described local interests and legal missteps in determining the public road’s path and the deviation’s authority.
