APPLICATION FOR FRESH JURY 'Wellington, Feb 16 When case against James Patterson, charged with carrying on the business or occupation of a bookmaker, was called in the Supreme Court yesterday, the Crown prosecution applied for an adjournment until Monday next for a fresh jury to be empanelled ‘T propose to stand down,” said counsel, “the whole 24 jurors who served on the Martindale and Livingstone cases and this would only leave eighteen jurors on the panel. I can make application, Your Honour, in view of the fact that the evidence in the case against Martindale and Livingstone was practically uncontradicted. I feel that it should come before a fresh jury.” Mr O’Leary, for Paterson strongly protested, but Judge Chapman said . “I shall grant the application. I think it is only right, seeing what happened yesterday. 1 think the matter should come before a fresh jury panel.” The trial was postponed till Monday.
