Dealing with the suggestion, Mr. Jonkin, counsel for the prosecution, criticised Mr. Zaitlyn, and said that in a case which presented many exceptional features, this was a feature which did not occur in one in ten thousand oriminal trials. Mr. Zeitlyn should have made it clear that he was likely to make such a charge, in his cross-examination.
