Judge's Ruling in Power Without Glory Trial
Melbourne Justice Martin ruled the Crown need not prove a likelihood of breach of the peace in the criminal libel case. He postponed deciding whether to read the book Power Without Glory to the jury, and reserved whether evidence could show the work was trivial. Francis Hardy, 21, East Malvern author, pleads not guilty. The trial, likely to last two weeks, centers on whether the libel referred to Mrs. Eileen Wren and if Hardy published the work. The Crown argues four issues. defense adds a possible fourth on breach of the peace.
