- John_James_Meikle abstract "John James Meikle (c. 1845 – 25 November 1937) was a New Zealand farmer and litigant. He was born in Linlithgow, West Lothian, Scotland in c. 1845 and arrived in New Zealand in early 1870. On the evidence brought by a private detective who received a sizeable reward and despite a character reference by former prime minister, Sir Robert Stout, Meikle was convicted of sheep steeling and served five years in prison. After some years of collecting evidence, Meikle laid a charge of perjury against the private detective, who was sent to prison for four years. Meikle petitioned parliament for ₤10,000 compensation and after a lengthy debate, he was awarded ₤500 in 1897, which covered about 10% of his costs. Meikle continued his campaign to fully clear his name, but two Supreme Court judges assigned to the case took a dim view. Meikle died in 1937 a \"bitter and broken\" man. His case was \"one of the most remarkable cases\" in New Zealand's legal history. He was buried at Dunedin Southern Cemetery.Meikle contested the 1901 Caversham by-election. Of six candidates, he came last with just 0.59% of the vote.".
