Appeal against wounding conviction dismissed. Statutory preconditions for majority verdict satisfied; jury deliberated for 8 hours and no reason to interfere with judge’s assessment that no further period required; judge’s satisfaction that jury unlikely to reach unanimous verdict, although based on slender material, validated by speed with which jury returned majority verdict. Leave to appeal against sentence refused; sentence not manifestly excessive: Keane, Fraser and Chesterman JJA.
