MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE.
-« 1_ - Telegraph Press Association Copyright Sydney, September 29. The position of the Government is likely to be challenged over the action of the Attorney-General in recommending the release of Friedman, a well-known merchant and money-lender, who was sentenced to 12 months' on a charge of receiving a large quantity of stolen property. The judge, in passing sentence, said that if it had been within his province to decide the case, he would' not have found the accused guilty, but he must abide by the decision of the jury. ' Within 24 hours of passing sentence Friedman was released, and the press and public made a great outcry against what they olaim is a deliberate ignoring of the jury system. The matter will be aired in the Assembly to-morrow.
