The Dean Case.
Sydney, November 8. In the Dean conspiracy case to-day, Goddard, one of the Dean Defence Committee, gave evidence to the eftect that when the chemist was being examined he passed a note to Meagher, asking the latter to put a question to Smith whether he had ever sold poison to Dean. Meagher tore up the note and the question was never put. All of the five accused have been committed for trial for conspiracy. Crick denied knowing the true facts until Meagher made his statement. Evidence was given that while the Dean case was proceeding, strained relations existed between Crick and Meagher, and that Crick complained of Meagher taking too much upon himself and not consulting Crick ; also that Crick was drunk when he delivered his speech in the House against Salomons. Meagher in his statement said he regretted but was not ashamed of many things he had done. He would conduct his own case in the higher Court. The others reserved their defence.
