OConnor and Land Company Trial Tests Public Trust
The trial examines Mr. O'Connor's role in the National Land Company scheme amid charges of illegality and misrepresentation. Evidence shows £112,000 raised and spent on estates and cottages while registration was incomplete, with witnesses describing failed cultivation and dubious governance. The judge weighs whether the acts were illegal, misled subscribers, and if remedies exist.
