When His Honor, Mr Justice Holyrod, took his seat in the Criminal Court to-day for the purpose of charging the Grand Jury in the Mercantile bank cases, Mr Gaunson on behalf of Mr F. Millidge, objeoted to both bills of indictment, which he characterised as illegal. He aeked His Honour to take a note that the Grand Jury was unknown to Australian law. Mr Justice Holyrod decided that one bill, that of false balance sheets should be rejected, but ruled against Mr Gaunson with regard to the bill containing a charge of conspiracy, and proceeded to charge the jury that point.
