De Marigny, who had admitted to being near Oakes’s house on the night of the murder, was known to be on bad terms with the multimillionaire and was said to be short of money.
Though de Marigny’s alibi and witnesses also proved shaky, his wife Nancy did not, braving a fever and the opprobrium of her mother (who believed de Marigny guilty) to testify for him.
De Marigny had alienated the colony’s officials and mercantile class with his contempt for their conventionality - less than tactfully he described the Duke as “a pimple on the arse of the Empire” - and four days after his acquittal the Governor’s executive council (with doubtful legitimacy) approved his deportation.

 Herald Sun: De Marigny boots Italy to victory (archived)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)

De Marigny had given the Italians an early lead with a crisply struck penalty from wide out on the left but the Scots drew level in the ninth minute as Chris Paterson slotted a penalty over after an infringement by the hosts scrum.
