We do not consider that it is necessary to deal in
detail with the remaining points of alleged misdirection
which were added after the hearing of this appeal commenced,
and which have been referred to as (a), (b) & (c) above,
for we are satisfied that they are devoid of substance.
In a very lengthy Summing Up it is easy to pick out
a word here or a phrase there for criticism but we have
felt no difficulty in coming to a conclusion that there was
no misdirection on any of these points, and we are satisfied
that the manner in which the case was left to the Jury was
eminently fair in every respect.
The appeal must therefore be dismissed.
We have confined our attention to the points at
isaue put before us and do not desire that our decision
should in any way affect the strong recommendation for
mercy made by the Jury at the conclusion of the trial.
