THE MAREO CASE
NO NEW TRIAL. The application on behalf of Eric Mareo for a new trial on the charge of murdering his wife, Thelma Mareo, l)y veronal poisoning, has failed. Judgment dismissing the application was given by the Court of Appeal on Tuesday afternoon. The Court came to the conclusion that the evidence was such that a jury could reasonably and properly find the prisoner guilty. Five Judges heard the appeal, and their decision was unanimous. The Chief Justice (Sir M. Myers) prepared a separate judgment of some sixteen foolscap pages, and another judgment was delivered by Mr. Justice Ostler on behalf of himself and the remaining Judges, namely, Mr. Justice Reed, Mr. Justice Blair, and Mr. Justice Kennedy. This judgment occupied eighteen foolscap pages.
