at the hearing. These documents and grounds (so far as they

were ultimately relied on), are sufficiently set out in the

judgment of the Pull Court hereinafter referred to. A print

of Ordinance No.5 of 1933 governing appeals in criminal

proceedings to the Full Court is sent herewith.

(9) The appeal (leave to appeal on questions of fact being

immediately granted) was heard on the 8th, 9th, 11th and 12th
