The grand jury - returned no bill in the case of Claud Sutton Manners, charged with sheep stealing, accepting his Honour's direction that the criminal court was not the place to settle-ownership disputes where there was no fraudulent intent. George McGavin O’Kane pleaded not guilty to a charge of committing manslaughter by killing Stanley Omand at Roxburgh on November 39, and of so acting while in charge of a motor-car that he caused the death of Omand. After the evidence for the Crown had been partly heard the court adjourned.
