Unprecedented Jury Reversals in Goulburn Court
In Goulburn District Court last week an unusual case ended with the judge directing the jury to return a verdict for the defendant. Auctioneer Charles Bradbury claimed 266 pounds 15 shillings from the New Zealand Loan Company after a dispute over a note tied to Furner & Co. The jurors initially favored the plaintiff, added that the note remained alive, but after repeated directions and threats of contempt the jury finally delivered a verdict for the defendant.
