DOCTOR ACQUITTED
NO EVIDENCE FOR JURY. (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, September 16. Magistrate Page, in a reserved judgment, dismissed the case against Dr. Jacobson, of inciting a young woman to permit the use of an instrument or other unlawful means to procure certain results. He quoted authorities to show that an accused person could not be convicted of such an offence unless the crime incited to be committed had actually taken place. The crime alleged to have been incited had not been committed. There was no doubt that the conduct of accused in giving an address had resulted in the girl going to the woman, but he could not be charged with aiding or abetting.. He found no evidence of persuasiofr or dissuasion, and there was no evidence to go to a jury on the charge of inciting.
