Neal William Macrossan (1889–1955) was a lawyer, judge and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Queensland.

[2] In 1904 whilst studying at St Joseph's, he was awarded the T J Byrnes medal for obtaining the highest pass mark in Queensland.

[4] The royal commission had made a finding that all the accused had acted dishonestly in the purchase of the mine.

The conspiracy case commenced in the Supreme Court on 22 July 1931 and resulted in a jury verdict in favour of McCormack and Theodore on 25 August.

[2] Macrossan acted as chief justice on two occasions, before being appointed to the office on 25 April 1946.

As chief justice in 1947, one of the early cases heard by Macrossan at first instance was a matter concerning the dispute over the purchase of a lottery ticket.

The publicity surrounding the case caused lottery agents to come forward and produce new evidence that showed that the plaintiff couldn't have entered into a syndicate on the date he stated, as the tickets hadn't been printed before that date.

Macrossan described the publications as emphasising "the thesis that an acceptable means of achieving this ideal [of marriage] is a casual acquaintance made by a young girl with a man hitherto a complete stranger to her the ardour of whose embraces and kisses provides the assurance of the constancy of his affection".

[8] The court found that the materials was "what they considered to be a tendency to corrupt members of an age group of females described as unstable adolescents."

He died on 30 December 1955 in South Brisbane and following a state funeral was buried in Nudgee Cemetery.
