Opposition to fewer jurors and majority verdicts sparks clash
The Leader of the State Opposition Mr Tuntecliffe attacked the Attorney General Mr Menzies proposal to cut jurors at criminal trials and adopt majority verdicts. He warned this would risk miscarriages of justice, insisting on unanimous verdicts for serious charges. Unemployed forestry camps visited by Inspector of Forests Mr St 8 Code praised the men and conditions with no complaints. Rainbow rabbit trapping industry shows large earnings with distribution over £100 weekly to district trappers and thousands of rabbits and hares processed weekly.

Fox terror on Nh station ends after fierce chase
In the past two weeks a fox raided Mr. Bond's Nh station area, killing 20 lambs despite hunting with dogs. G Meek of Nhill organized two half bred stag hounds to trap the animal in a stubble paddock on Mr. Gladizan's property. The fox charged the dogs when cornered, was killed, and its hard, 4 inch long pelt weighed reports. It will be kept for tanning, and Meek received a reward for his efforts on the estate. Postmortem shows the foxes had been killing mice and parrots.

Curious landing puzzle at Tilbury stages in May
In the May 14 event three ships occupied Tilbury passenger stages Balronald from India Bri Britannia bound for Gothenburg and Royal Eagle from Felixstowe. A small party moved from Balronald to Britannia’s gangway and then to the stage but remained on the floating platform. The time stamps were 7 15 for the Britannia and 7 45 for Gothenburg. The observer wondered if the travelers had effectively landed since land was not touched.

A Day with the Isokoa A view on ancestor worship
Rev J W Welch notes African belief in ancestral spirits inhabiting newborns and guiding life from birth to death. Shrines are common in homes, sacrifices carry on market days, and possessions are viewed as belonging to ancestors. The piece links reincarnation to a broader human belief. A line cites Napoleon saying I am my own ancestor. Over 500 pairs of boots were distributed to Bendigo unemployed.
