CONTEMPT OF COURT.
CHARGE AGAINST PUBLISHER
SEQUEL TO MURDER CHARGE
(United Press Association.) SYDNEY, October 27
An action has been begun in which Hubert, Bruce and William Higgs are applying to the Full Court for writs of attachment against Robert Clyde Packer, the printer and publisher of the Daily Guardian newspaper, and the proprietors of the Daily Guardian, for contempt of Court in
publishing three articles at different dates giving alleged details of the murder of Ronald Lachlan Leslie, who was found dead in his car near Blaxland on October 13, with three bullet wounds in his body. The applicants are now on remand on the charge of the murder of Leslie, and they allege that the articles in the Guardian, were of such a nature as to prejudice the fairness of their trial.
