O'Sullivan v Collis [1913] HCA 3; (1913) 15 CLR 692 (17 February 1913)

HIGH COURT OF AUSTRALIA

O'Sullivan Defendant, Appellant; and Collis Complainant, Respondent.

H C of A

On appeal from the Supreme Court of Queensland.

17 February 1913

Griffith C.J., Barton, and Isaacs JJ.

Lodge, for the applicant.

Griffith C.J.

Leave must be refused. It is sufficient to say that the police magistrate had sufficient evidence before him to warrant a conviction. I agree with the Supreme Court that he could do nothing but convict.

Barton J.

I agree.

Isaacs J.

I thoroughly agree with what the learned Chief Justice has said.

Leave to appeal refused.

Solicitor, for the applicant, P. A. O'Sullivan, Brisbane.
