THE DEAN CASES.
Press Association—By Telegraph— Copyright. Sydney, March 9. The grounds for Dean's appeal to the Privy Council are that having received the Eoyal pardon he could not be subsequently prosecuted for perjury; that, having been sentenced to death, he thereby became civilly dead ; that the Criminal Act under which he was found guilty does not apply to a prisoner committing perjury in giving evidence on his own behalf; that the Judge was wrong in admitting evidence of the confession of Dean, by which the prisoner was prejudiced at his trial.
The Meagher and Dean appeal cases have practically been postponed till after the Easter vacation, owing to the Court being unable to sit continuously at present to hear counsels' addresses, which they are not prepared to take at intervals.
