Two headed baby prompts debate in Assembly
In the Legislative Assembly Mr Wade cites Doodeward v Spence costing the State about £746,244 in litigation with uncertain Privy Council appeal costs. The two headed baby case is said to hold no special value to the State beyond a public interest on Christian burial principles. Embalming of a New Zealand resident who died on the Warrimo steamer is noted. A ballot at the Paddington Starr Bowkett Society No 2 drew No 61, representing four shares held by Mrs S A Hayward of Waverley, with an advance payment of £300 for 13% years. A medical ad promises quick piles cure with PAZO.
