NULLAH MURDER

APPEAL FAILS AT

SUPREME COURT |

*NO MISCARRIAGE ON ANY POINT" "MRS. FAIRBARN'S EVIDENCE

NOT IRRELEVANT-

"We are of the opinion that apart from the evidence of Mary j Pine, the evidence adduced at the trial was sufficient to enable the] jury to arrive at their verdiet... and-it was the only rational con- clusion which could have been reached and therefore there was no mkscarringe of justice. Wej have felt no difficully in coming to a conclusion that there was no mia- carriage on any point and consider that the manner in which the case was put to the jury was eminently fair in every respect. The appeal must therefore be dismissed."

The above was part of the find- ing of the full Court of Appeal at the Supreme Court this morning, in the appeal by Ng Loi-yuen against the sentence of death pass-
