It will bs remembered that daring the trial at Invercargill of Minnie Dean for the murder of Dorothy Edith Carter, Mr AC.

"Mr Hanloa intends to apply at once to the Attorney-general for authority .to move the Court of Appeal. If that authority is grantedi and the Courc of Appeal gives leave, then a case will be stated and the law questions argued before the Appeal Court.
